camshaft - is this standard or uprated

hello all,

ive just done the cambelt change on my 1.8 gti cabby and whie the rocker cover was off i was checking the camsshaft. Not sure if its me but they look very new and also d the peaks look very pointy and high which would leave me to think this was aftermarket.

i mean the car is very very nippy but this is my first mk1 so im not sure what to expect speed wise.

anyway heres a pic not sure if it will help.

cheers

dan

The lobes look very much like an uprated cam mate, Theres a DX camshaft on ebay, compare the profiles

Actually just looking throug the middle of two middle lobes it has the vw Audi sign so maybe they are standard
