What is the number that is stamped on the Cam gear? I have one that is "0" and another that is "-2". Can I use the cams interchangeably when rebuilding my engine or do I have to go with the same gear number?
Thx, SD |

I don't think the numbered cam gears have been available for quite a while. All of the aftermarket cam gears are "0" anyway, so it can't be that bad to just use a "0".
Don't reuse the cams. Chances are pretty good that they're at least halfway worn out by now; going with a new one from a quality manufacturer (and new matching lifters!) only makes sense. --DD |
