i posted this in the tech forum but no luck so ill try here...

my friend and i put on my buddy club spec 3 cams/cam gears tonight and the valves would hit the pistons after we did the timing? the marks on the buddy club gears are not right.....i put on the stock cam gears and the problem went away..does anybody have a diagram on how to do the timing for there cam gears???thanks

 

Make sure the Buddy Club logo is at the top when locating tdc. Also they should have marks on them. The exhaust cam gear will have a mark at 3 o'clock and the intake cam gear will have a mark at 9 o'clock. Line those marks together for tdc as well. Also make sure that you don't have them extremely retarded or advanced, for example, like 12 degrees. That should help

 

thanks man ill try that but i believe i have tried it already but well see...thanks... anybody else every have this problem?

 

Just did my buddy club cam+cam gear install and everything went smooth. Sounds like install error to me, but who knows. I have been known to be wrong once or twice on this earth.

 

lucky..damn im gonna try it again friday...or i might just leave the stock ones on because everything is perfect with them on

Was this a Napolean Dynamite reference?

In all seriousness, take your time, take a deep breath and do it again til you get it right. The benefits of adj. cam gears are tremendous if you ever plan on getting your vehicle on a dyno.

 

yeah i have Hondata so its key to get them working....ill let you know how it goes...you have any other info that i need to get it right??

 

Napolean Dynamite reference lol i only watched that movie once...whats up with everybody quoting from it lol

 

No other info that you NEED. Just take your time and make sure all your marks are lined up. Its not rocket science, just car science.

Also, just out of curiousit, the buddy club cam gears are zero'ed out, correct? And by that i mean set on '0', no advance, no retard?

 

i have the same problem with this too...there's no lining mark for the cam gears?

 

Make sure "up" is "up" and there should be two little dimples, similar to the ones on my ***.

 

there is no dimples on the buddyclub cam gears...that's the problem!! i'll even take a picture right now and show it to you...

If you wish, there are marks on mine....

 

yeah post pics because to me it looks like i have 2 of the same cam gears or something its weird ****...i emailed buddy club and they said to call them so i will.....now the bitch wont start after the install....not sure if its the timing or fuel.....my dad is working on it to fix it now because i am done with spring break and im away....hopefully he can figure it out

 

what i did was got a stock cam gear and lined it up with buddy club and put the exact same markings on it... oh yeah and make sure that adjustable bolts are tight....cuz mines were loose

 

Same problem here..there are no markings on the cam gears I recieved. My engine builder degreed everything and I had to make my own markings.

 

yeah it's retarded but hey...it works

 

I had to make markes on mine to.

 

good info but post pics of them with the valvecover off so i can see the marks...

 

like i said...just take a stock cam gear and line it up with the buddy club one...

 

My BC cam gears had NO marking either to identify up or down. Raceline had to line them up wtih the stock cam gears and mark it off that way.

 

No marks on them, but it's easy enough to line them up at TDC.

 

damn it was easy...i made my own marks and the bitch started right up and runs stronger then ever! getting it on the road next week!!
