SOHC Cam gears
Does anyone know the difference between Y8 and Z6 cam gears??
I have a buddy swapping a reworked y8 head onto a Z6 block and he is trying to figure out which cam gear to use.

I believe he'll need to use a Y8 cam gear. Not certain, though.

Re: SOHC Cam gears (Daniel)
the y8 gear should be a advanced a little more than the z6. thats why aem offers a z6 and a y8 gear, but other companies like skunk does not?

i thought it was that the cam timing is different between the two so you would just want to retard or advance the timing to fit right.

Re: SOHC Cam gears (Daniel)
His concern is that there is a difference in diameter which would affect cam timing. I would think he'd need the cam gear to go with the head/cam he is using.

Hmm.. I'll have him investigate that a little more, checking AEM< STR< Skunk2 to see if they offer a different gear for each of those motors.
