Trying to id a cam, without splitting the case. Here is a pic of the stamping on the end. Looks like I may need to break out the dial indicators next. Anyone recognize it?

I think that is a grind that DRD used to sell.

That makes sense, as the pistons that were in it may have been DRD as well. Was told they were so old, I'd spend a lot of time trying to buy a single replacement piston. So bought a set of pistons and cylinders.

Totally new to VWs.

The lift measured at the cam is .330-.335. Local bug shop says its not anything crazy lift-wise, which makes me happy. Don't need anything finicky for my first experience.

1835cc with dual Kadrons.

Thanks

A DRD would have been bolt on. That looks like a regrind based on an original cam.
Delta?
Elgin?
Who knows...?

Reground cams are stamped 280 sometimes. It’s for the duration. Similar to an Engle 110 maybe
