Got a replacement cam gear over the weekend thanks to Slits (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Anyone recommend the right bolts to use when putting it on the cam? I don't know how much torque they are subjected to or if they need to be a certain size to clear all the stuff inside the case. Also, is anyone familiar with the Eljin (sp?) cams that GPR sells. They are saying they can get me a little more aggressive cam that will work perfectly without changing anything on the fuel injection. Thanks

Whatever cam you buy should come with the appropriate bolts and will specify the torque.
More than likely, you will have to enlarge the holes in the cam gear to fit the bolts. Also, you will probably need to counterbore the holes in the cam gear in order to recess the bolt heads. If they stick up too high, they will hit the oil pump housing. If you buy the cam from Web-cam, they will not tell you any of this stuff (except for the torque setting). I don't know about other mfg's. Also, I would recommend using some red loc-tite on the cam bolts. Don't want those to come loose!! Demick |
