EMPI Deluxe GT-7 Camshaft Kit with Lifters and Cam Gear for VW Type 1, 2 and 3

A camshaft, lifters and gear bought separately do not always suit each other, and a mismatched lifter face is a common cause of early lobe wear. This EMPI kit pairs a GT-7 camshaft with lifters made for the lobe taper of EMPI GT grinds and a machined aluminum gear, so the key valvetrain parts arrive as a set.

Technical Details

• Camshaft: EMPI GT-7, chilled cast iron, Parkerized, stroker clearanced
• Lifters: 8 phosphate treated, heat treated 4130 chromoly, 28 mm convex face

Fitment & Compatibility

Fits Type 1, pre-1971 Type 2 and Type 3 engines. EMPI makes seven GT grinds from mild street to race, so match the GT-7 to your displacement, compression and carburetion before ordering. If you are unsure which version suits your build, contact PMB Performance. We have spent over 20 years working through air-cooled fitment questions like this one.
