Cam gear differences?
Hey guys. I got a question. I'm pretty sure a cam gear from a 96+ civic will bolt to a 5gen civic cam, but what's the difference? I picked up an AEM gear for $40, but it's for a 96+. Is it just the marks on the gear (where it's zeroed), or what?

Re:Cam gear differences?
it might be of a couple of degrees. you will need to line up the keyway on the gears, and see if the tdc marks line up

Re:Cam gear differences?
where can u get the cam for $40?

Re:Cam gear differences?
my question is does a cam gear on a sohc engine really make that much of a differance? i can see on a B series with 2 cams..but you have no seperate adjusts on single...anyone really notice any real power increase with a single cam gear?

Re:Cam gear differences?
Nope, you advance it, you get power at the bottom end, but takes it from the top end..
Retard it, takes power from the bottom and puts it up top. so its pretty pointless, unless you have some cam you are trying to dial in. Jeff |

Kew...You think gsr cams would be better than stock b series?Im thinking of getting type r cams down the road but not enough money.

Re:Cam gear differences?
cam gears are good for rotational weight. But if you want to "dial them in" you need a dyno.
Just a CAM upgrade is good for like 20hp sometimes. |
Re:Cam gear differences?
Stock B-series what?
what year? what tranny etc? think it goes something like this auto b16 cams man b16 cams man gsr cams ctr/itr cams. So it would depend on what you had, auto b16 cams blow -------. |

Not bad, the price was good since they were on Ebay, but they look to have kinda a funny adjustment on them, but they will do just fine.
