on hot-rodding an Audi since the are strange beasts and no-one really makes the parts to make it easy. I have had to do lots of custom fab work, and that always complicates things. + parts break when asked to perform at 3-4x stock level.

how hard was it to replace the lifters? - ModifiedA4 2008-08-20 06:01:31 (24 views)

I know you have to pull the cams, so you'd have pull the timing belt off also. - Jon-1.8t 2008-08-20 06:05:41 (20 views)

that makes sense...by lifters people mean the cam followers, right? - ModifiedA4 2008-08-20 06:09:04 (22 views)
