    probably already been done..Cam ?

    so what are the main issues with cam gears...i mean, as long as diameter and tooth count are equal (and tooth profile) all should work, correct? i've got a couple that i could measure laying aroung, but would anyone have the dimensions for a round tooth cam gear i want to compare it to something like this :http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93...Q5fAccessories or am i just way off base

    They need to have the same tooth count, tooth profile, bore, keyway orientation, and offset.


    You know the vendors do offer adjustable cam gears for our cars, right?

    depending on how cheap/innovative you want to be, you could grab 2 cam gears from the yard and make your own adjustable one

    Not even close, Honda's have a different tooth pattern, they are a smaller gear and mount totally different.

    +2 but honestly, for a $100, its not worth the effort to make one. I am cheap, errrr frugal but wouldn't consider making my own. Now if they were $500, then yeah, I'd consider it.
