A6 cam in a b7
 

Ok, i plan on putting a a6 non vtec cam in a 95 civic d15b7. Everyone knows that popular swap. I read up on it and i have to ask a question that i can't find a direct answer to. When you swap the cam into the b7, i heard that you make sure it is at TDC and adjust the valves or something before you put it in. What are they talking about, what should i adjust to make the cam work right? How do i do this?

you'll end up taking the timing belt off, so once you've got the cam in, you have to make sure your timing belt is lined up.

have you ever changed a timing belt or checked the timing?

Yeah, i've done this, but when you put crx si cam in a 95 dx D15b7 don't you need to do something to make it work?

no valve adjustments or anything?

Re: A6 cam in a b7
 

um yes

Re: A6 cam in a b7
 

what?

Re: A6 cam in a b7
 

The b7 and a6 cam gear are the same correct chris? The cam is a plug/play deal.. were talking not much of a performance difference either, but if you got one laying around throw it in. Yes you will have to adjust valve lash since the durtion/lift are different.

Just use stock specs on valve lash.

how do you adjust valve lash? That was the question i was trying to get to in this whole thing, i just couldn't couldn't get it.

each cylinder should be at tdc when dialing in valve clearances. get a feeler guage, they are cheap. they work just like a spark plug gap guage. just put the desired clearance thickness (its on the guage) and dial in the valves.
