Anybody do a CRX cam into a B7 lately?
Well I tried that today and made some interesting mistakes despite having the helms with me.
I managed to remove ALL the bolts from the rocker assembly and in my fit of rage....when I got that assembly off the head it proceeded to explode nicely all over the place.
My back hurts nicely after being hunched over reassembling the rocker assembly.
I got what I believed to be a 91 CRX cam but it turns out to be a 88/89 one?? Since the keyway lines up the same as my B7.
My problem is that I can't fully rotate the cam once the rocker assembly is torqued down. Even with the helms, I wasn't able to determine which bolt length went where and only ASSUMED the longest cam cap bolts went all on the exhaust side. There is a diagram that states all the front bolts are 8mm and the cap closest to the dist. is 6mm.
Does anybody have some tips for this SOHC noob from the DOHC VTEC camp?? I can't believe I got owned by ONE cam....
