Engle 100 Camshaft And Pump Bundle Kit

The Engle W100 performance camshaft is one of the most popular and proven camshaft upgrades for VW Type 1 aircooled engines ranging from 1200cc to 1600cc, making it an excellent choice for fast-road and street-driven engines. Designed to deliver a smooth, usable power increase without sacrificing reliability or drivability, the W100 is ideal for small-displacement performance builds.

This camshaft provides improved valve timing over stock, increasing airflow through the engine and enhancing torque and mid-range power. It is particularly well suited to engines running twin carburettors, mild compression increases, and free-flowing exhaust systems. In a correctly matched setup, the W100 delivers a noticeable performance gain while maintaining good idle quality and everyday usability.

The W100 camshaft is manufactured to Engle’s exacting standards using high-quality materials and precise lobe profiles to ensure consistent performance and long service life. It is a favourite choice for classic Beetles, early Buses, and other lightweight Type 1-powered vehicles where street manners are just as important as extra power.

Important Fitment Notes

• These camshafts require an early-style 3-bolt cam gear

• Compatible with up to 1971-style oil pumps only

• Camshaft supplied on its own – cam gear is not included

• A suitable 3-bolt cam gear must be purchased separately (see associated products)

Correct component matching is essential. Always confirm oil pump style, cam gear compatibility, and overall engine specification before installation.

Fitting Notes & Recommendations

• Fits VW Type 1 aircooled engines (1200cc–1600cc)

• Requires 3-bolt cam gear

• Fits engines using pre-1972 oil pump design only

• New camshaft should always be installed with new lifters

• Proper cam break-in procedure and lubricant essential

• Professional engine assembly strongly recommended

These Engle 28mm cam lifters are a must-have upgrade for high-performance VW Type 1 aircooled engines, especially those running high-lift and aggressive camshafts. Designed to cope with increased valve train loads and higher engine speeds, these lifters provide strength, stability, and reliability where standard lifters can struggle.

Each lifter features a 28mm diameter head and weighs approximately 100 grams, offering an excellent balance between strength and controlled valvetrain mass. The larger lifter face spreads the load more evenly across the cam lobe, reducing wear and helping the camshaft survive in demanding performance and race applications. This makes them particularly well suited to high lift Engle camshafts and other aftermarket performance cams.

Manufactured to Engle’s exacting standards, these lifters are precision finished to ensure correct rotation in the lifter bore, smooth cam break-in, and long service life. When combined with the correct camshaft, valve springs, and break-in procedure, they help maintain accurate valve timing and reduce the risk of premature cam or lifter failure.

Supplied as a set of 8, this kit provides enough lifters to fully equip one complete Type 1 aircooled engine.
