oki guys, i just ordered all my parts to do my cams and timing belt install (recieved the Crower valve springs and retainers already, Honda Timing Belt, Honda water pump. Im still waiting on the Crower cams which should be here by next week along with the Skunk2 cam gears)

whats the basic setup for the cam gears for both the intake and exhaust cam. I know i will have to get it dyno tuned to get the most power, but im probably gonna dyno tune it a month after the install.
i've looked around and most people advance the intake about 4 degrees and retard the exhaust about 1 to 2 degrees. I just wanna know if anyone has adjustable cams in their car and what settings they used.

Thanks

 

bump...i also like to know how to time cams

 

anyone

 

Set both cams to 0° until you have them tuned on the dyno. The settings that worked on one motor won't necessarily work well on another.

First, you need adjustable cam sprockets. I prefer to have a junk valve cover with the end cut-off to use for tuning at the dyno. This allows access to the sprockets so the timing can be adjusted, but doesn't require hacking up the stock valve cover.

As for the actual adjustment, you loosen the adjustment bolts on the sprockets (and remove the locking pin if you're using the ST Corsa sprockets that I prefer & recommend), then rotate the cam to the desired setting. After you reach the setting you want, simply tighten the bolts (and reinstall the locking pin).

When the tuning is finished, the stock uncut cover can be reinstalled, and the sprockets and timing belt are completely protected.

 

thanks you
