bump for interest in your motor, never seen that valve cover/motor. where did you get it?

Sikocivic

Those motors are the same as a DOHC ZC motor but they come out a Rover in England.

edm valve cover? as far as the cam gears try jg engine dynamics they might still make them

MANDO6669

okay i found that cam gears that they make for the zc at jg engine dynamics ... but on there application guide it says that the d16a9 cam gears are not interchangeable, it didnt say anything about the a8 but to my knowledge the only difference from the a8 and a9 is cat converter.... can you guys prove me wrong???? i dont want to go buy'em to find out that they dont fit.

oh, intresting motor. about the cam gears, when i had my DOHC ZC i used JG cam gears, and im sure i got the B series model.

can you get a count of how many teeth are on your cam gears?

i can get pictures of my Dohc zc factory cam gears for comparison refference so you can compare them to yours. and if they match. you should be good with any B series cam gears.

I've always thought the D16A8 and the D16A9 engines were identical..

civicjdmb16a

I did to. I read somewere that the only diff was one came w/out a cat

Then why the difference in name?

BTW, I like that engine. If you ever want a DOHC ZC cover I'll trade you.

Found this on hybrid honda

There are three versions of the ZC that I am aware of, but there could be more
D16A8 Euro. spec featuring EFI
D16A9 Euro. spec featuring Carbs
ZC Jap. spec featuring EFI

Autoworks

Use the DOHZ ZC cam gears from JG.

i also i thought i read somewhere that the d16a9 is meant to run on leaded gasoline ... it also has lower compression if i am correct... let me see if i could find that link again.

okay i got a picture of the cam gears my self, i believe it has 34T how about yours?

does pm7 mean anything?

Lamchop0000

looks the same haha...

MANDO6669

okay so what kind did you get???

are they like these?

Lamchop0000

yeah mine were just like that but silver. i think all JG camgears had the same design...
if they still offer the ZC model i would get that. because honestly i got rid of those back in 2002. so i may have got the ZC instead of the B series. but when i sold it... i sold it as a B series cam gear. so maybe it was B series. HA

and i also recall comparing them side by side with a skunk2 b series cam gear. and the skunk2 had more off an off set, but other then that it had the same teeth count and diameter.

oh yeah, the JG cam gear teeth was horrible, and jaggy, and the bolt stripped easly, that was another reason why i sold them. they wernt nice as the skunk2's

MANDO6669

okay i think i found them .... i saw this link on jgenginedynamics.com

http://jgenginedynamics.com/Ad...E.pdf

MANDO6669

okay ... well i got an idea of what to look for ... atleast i know that they are the same as the cz ... hey , what diameter is that aneway? ... skunk2 have cam gears for cz??

thanks alot ...

MANDO6669

hey skunk2 is like the down the street from my house.... damn .... i should just stop by and ask..... !!!!

Lamchop0000

no skunk2 does not make a ZC version, but B series is what you would use... and that goes for AEM, fidanza, ETC.

like i said, the offset is the only difference...

MANDO6669

yea ... i was lookin at that already ... im doing this for performance engine tuning class for my school that im taking ... and i get to use the dyno as much as i want, as long as i dont venture off to many degrees to cause an interference i should be able to tune it to its capacity... heheheh .. quick question ... is the d16a8 an interference motor aneway?
