found something out today????
well i got a used head for my car today and took it to the machine shop to get it built and it is missing the cam caps...and the guy said i can't use different cam caps (from the head on my car) just wondering if this is just something you "shouldn't" do or is it just can't do!!!
thanks in advanced |
Re: found something out today????
you can't do it. The cam caps are align bored w/ the cam journals in the head to be perfectly round. cam caps from Head A will only work with Head A, not with head B or C. You know? If you're really bent on using that head you could try to find somebody setup to align bore it w/ the new cam caps, but then the bore would pretty likely be oversized and you'd have to go through the trouble of welding and regrinding the cam/cams to accomodate.
:edit: not to mention there are not too many people setup to align bore a honda head. tust me I've looked before. |

Re: found something out today????
well i was just wondering cuz my buddy bitchasscracker (who has built a few honda motors,p.s. this is for a dsm) but he said that it doesn't matter just like when the "say" you can't put a vtec head on a non-vtec block, or turbo a honda and ---- but that really sucks
what if i used the cams and camcaps would that work from the same head senice thems are for each other??? |
