Mr_GaBIG

Hello,

I have a set of Comp 57200 cams that I want to install in my B16A2, I have heard that these ruin the rocker arms.

Has anyone heard of this before or is it just a myth?

Thanks

I think the use of the proper moly based assembly lube will prevent galling upon inital startup and break-in.

Mr_GaBIG

Whats the comp lube made out of?

Where would I be able to get ahold of a moly based assembly lube?

Mr_GaBIG

So what do you guys think of the cams or

Any cylinder head assembly lube will work just fine. Best thing to do is grab a gob of it in your hands and stroke your new stick () full of lubrication.

If they ate away at rocker arms, they wouldn't make them at all.

Eating rocker arms only happens when no assembly lube is used or if the valves are over adjusted putting to much tension on the entire valvetrain assembly. Install any cam improperly and over adjust the valves and this kind of thing will happen.

Mr_GaBIG

Excellent so these cams will be going on then

Should give some nice power gains once they're on

civicsit - What intake manifold you going to run on the GSR motor?

With tuning of course.

Mr_GaBIG

Does anyone know what the cam timings should be on a B16A2 with these cams?

Int = +2
Exh = 0

I might setup the cam timings to this.

Once I have time and money I will tune the cams properly.

Hey i was wondering what stage cams u got, cause i heard that comp only makes stage 1 and Full Drag. Is that true? Also what do they usually run for?$ thanks

Mr_GaBIG

Comp do 3 stages.

57100 - Stage 1
57200 - Stage 2
57300 - Stage 3

They do a stage 4 aswell but thats for real racing...no need for that

I've been runnin the 57200's in my mildly bult B18C1 for 1400 miles, no probs so far. Make sure u get matching valve train or a valvetrain that will handle the cams(skunk, kms, ect..)
You'll never know good cam timing till u strap it to the dyno...

Mr_GaBIG

Anyone else have 57200's on a B16?

Can you run these cams on a stock valve train. I know type r and skunk 2 stage 1 you can.

Mr_GaBIG

Someone on this forum is running these on a stock B16A2, however you will need to upgrade if you go above 8000rpm

lilredhatch

i'm almost positive u must upgrade the valvetrain to run the B series 57200's. check the Comp or Zex website..
