thats a bit premature if he doesnt even know if they fit yet, its just been delayed. we will see, and reassemble the list if and when this falls thru. this will be great if it works out tho.

Re: feeler thread: golden eagle adjustable cam gear, round 2?
I'm just giving you guys an alternative to the group buy because I've conducted a group buy before and unfortunately not everyone comes up with the money and someone gets screwed. In this case if these are the wrong product I take the fall not you guys. So continue your group buy if you want, don't kill it on account of me. I've seen bad things happen with group buys...cam gears, flywheels, Konis...it just doesn't work out.Originally Posted by Justanothermike
My deal is merely a pre-sale. You pay as you go. I will check fitment and test these cam gears before anyone sends me money. So good luck with your group buy. And please don't be hatin' on here.
PS I did put a plea on there for the MODS to merge my thread and the responses on thread. I just got excited about the cam gears so I posted in the first place that came to mind, LOL.

Well don't just check that they fit, check the diameter and tooth count
and next time post a link to your thread.

Re: Adjustable CAM GEARS!!!
The list has been updated again. I'm logging off tonight and I gotta work tomorrow so it won't be until tomorrow night that I check the PMs and the threads so don't get your panties in a wad fellas. Also I should be receiving the gears in the next couple of days so I will take all the necessary precautions to make sure they're a fit and run proper. You will get your pics then too. Please just read the rules before you PM or you will be ignored...nothing personal I just don't have the time now to hunt down people who can't follow the rules.
I will make my best effort to supply all of you who have an interest in these cam gears. Laterz crew.

willl these have degree increments on them? also, are u willing/able to make enough to cover all the people who wanted these? if not... u should really look into making enough for everyone.. .cause we did all have our hopes up for the openloop group buy, which would allow as many as we wanted to buy gears...
it would be a shame to exclude lots of people cause they didnt see this in time. please let me know what your intentions are with quantity of gears.
Re: Adjustable CAM GEARS!!!
Just chill I haven't urged anyone to cop out on the GE group by, if these don't work out I urge you to keep your options open. We will have answers soon enough. If they work out then I will get enough to cover you guys.willl these have degree increments on them? also, are u willing/able to make enough to cover all the people who wanted these? if not... u should really look into making enough for everyone.. .cause we did all have our hopes up for the openloop group buy, which would allow as many as we wanted to buy gears...

did you win these on ebay? i posted a link a few days ago with a lot of 10 cam gears, the picture is the same as the auction. and they come in the same color.

I'd hope not.. That would mean that theres only 10 gears, and they wouldnt fit.. Because the cam gears on our cars are 42 teeth aren't they? The ones on ebay are 40..
If you count the teeth in the picture, there are 42, but the seller said they had 40 teeth. Either the seller is using the wrong picture, mis-counted, or didn't check. I saw a few places selling similar "SOHC Prelude / Accord 2.0L Volution Cam Gear", all with the same pictures and information. The seller also used the same pictures for his H22 Cam Gear Auctions, and the same picture was posted by phrenology earlier. I tried to contact Volution to see if they are making a cam gear for the A20, but their number was disconnected.
I hope they are the correct item, but I am taking a wait and see attitude for now.

i beat they are the ones from ebay. but if they fit, i'll buy one.

*stupid question warning* What difference would it make if they were 40 teeth compared to the 42 teeth? Also, what benefits are to be had w/ the cam gear performance wise?

"On a SOHC engine, an adjustable cam gear will allow you to move the power curve to a specific area in the rpm band as described above. Like moving your peak power on a high-revving Honda to max out at 4000 to 5000 rpm. Typically to improve bottom end power advancing a SOHC engine will do the trick and the converse is true to enhance top end power."
From http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/in...technology01a/
I believe that if the cam gear has the wrong number of teeth, the valve movement would no longer sync. with the movement of the pistons. This would be very bad.
Last edited by Swap_File; 10-18-2005 at 08:25 PM.
the teeth on the cam gear keep it syncronized with the crank shaft. you want the cam shaft to rotate at half the speed of the crank shaft so that the pistons move up and down twice for every one time the intake valves open. The teeth set this ratio. If there are 42 teeth on the cam shaft there should be 21 teeth on the crank (42 cam / 21 crank = 2/1 <-- 2:1 ratio).
If you only have 40 teeth on the cam gear the whole system gets messed up. now the ratio would be 1.9:1. After about 20 revolutions, the cam will be completely off. if you're engine is going only 1000 rpm, then it would only take 1.2 seconds for this to occur.
thats why the number of teeth are so important.
Re: Adjustable CAM GEARS!!!
Alright fellas. Again I have updated the list. If I have forgotten anyone, messed up your ID name, or messed up your color preference please PM me. I know the severity of the gears not fitting, or having the wrong amount of teeth, etc. etc. So like I said I will check them test them and when I give it a green light we will commence with filling orders and taking payments. Until then sit tight. Alright geez I'm going to bed.
