All aftermarket cams or special grinds all seem to require a bolt on cam gear.
So I'm wondering what the difference is between the stock cam gear and the aftermarkets ones that are !NOT! a straight cut gears? I suppose the real root of this question is if I could grind off or dill out the rivets on a stock gear and bolt that gear onto an aftermarket cam. Thanks! -JR- |

According to oil pump selection you **can**...
But ONLY do it if your gear has a "C" suffix part# and is aluminum. alot of the cam gears were magnesium with a "B" suffix and they suck, they strip all the time.... I highley recommend updating to the 30mm TI pump and a new, modified cam gear (for oil pump clearance)while its apart. The stock pump sucks. |

Jake, when you say... "oil pump selection" what do you mean?
What is this cam gear mod for oil pump clearance? (I've included a pic of what I have) Do you know where I can get one of those 30mm pumps? Thanks!

Any ideas? (IMG:http://www.jamesrenfrew.com/ftp/incoming/Temp/208.jpg) |

That smoked journal is the very first one to run out of oil! Thats why you need a modified pump upgrade.
I have the cam, modified gear and pump that you need. |
