I got a disassembled B16 head, and the cam shafts are in a seperate box with the cam gears attached still. I have 2 questions.
1) Can I bolt on new cam gears right now without cause a timming problem or anything like that?
2) The guy I bought the head off didn't label the cams intake/exhaust, so how can I tell which ones which?

well for your second question just look at the end of one of the cams only one of the cams will have a notch on one end for teh distributor thats how to tell. and the one for teh distributor cam goes toward the rear of the motor. hope that sort of helps ya

There a key in each of the cam gears that makes it impossible to align them incorrectly. Just take the bolt out and you'll see what I mean.
