HELP!! what cam gears are interchangeable with d16y8
we cracked the cam gear on a 98 ex with a y8 engine and we HAVE to get it running again. what all cam gears are interchangeable with this one that wont affect timing so we can go run and get one from the u-pull??
I need a range if possible since most of the newer stuff out there is usually pulled already so we might have to go back a bit for a gear.

No no cam gear is interchangable with the D16Y8 because the stock timing is I think 12 degree's and all other are 16 degrees...i mean the cam gears from other SOHC's fit but you're going to have timing issue's your best bet it get a AEM 5 bolt cam gear which is the best and it's only maybe $90 or go to a junkyard and get a OEM cam gear or a new OEM cam gear from Majestic Honda or your local honda dealer!

I would seriously recommend going to a junk yard, especially if you need it very soon, because very rarely are they damaged so they won't run... Just look for somethign that doesn't look like it ramed into the cam gear side :-\ (driver side) -- That's ur best bet, but like the guy above me said, none of them are interchangable w/o timing issues (which isn't a good thing)
Need an OEM or aftermarket for that motor :-\
