hey guys i need somehelp.ok since i put the skunk2 cam gears in my car my car been feeling wierd. like when i go on second the car feals like is not gettin enuff power to go an i put the accelaretor all the way down an notttin it will take like 5 second so the car an at least get a good pick up. so i am thinkin of takin them off an puttin the stock ones bac on cuz **** it iam not gettin the hp out of them.

 

cam gears dont give you HP
what wrong with you is bad timming thats all
so just align it and you will see that it will run like normal...

 

well they are set in 0

 

it isnt the gears fault, sounds like ur timing isnt adjusted properly, if timing is adjusted properly and the gears set at 0 adv or retard u can onlt have a gain from it, even though it is small the weight reduction of the rotating mass will help with quicker revs and maybe a hp from the light weight design(even though problly not noticable) Cam gears are only needed with aftermarket cams even thought they can be used on the stock cams to play with valve overlap

yes but was the engine set to TDC and stock cam gears and crank alligned before their removal. If not that is ur problem since even though the gear is on 0 they cam is in a diff position since it wasnt alligned properly before install

 

u guys think i should take it off

 

dont take them off
just align again
some peeps have trouble align it
so they try a couple of timess.....
till they get it right..

 

idk i just feel my car is just not right with them

 

o an one more if i taje the out do i have to take off the timing belt cuz i just got iit done

 

if you dint do it go back to place that did and tell them to adjust it....

 

my freind did it he works fo honda i want stock bac

 

dont blame it on the parts..
only humans make errors
so if you are going to sell them how much...

 

150

 

This makes me laugh. Why are you taking cam gears off? You're being stupid. Just set timing right, and everything will be fine.

 

set the crank at the slanted mark on the lower timing belt cover, make sure both cam gears line up when the crank pulley mark is lined up. If they aren't pull the timing belt off the gears, adjust the cam that isn't straight up, and re-install the timing belt. I doubt you have altered the cam gears yet, make sure the allens are tight though.

 

hey stupid i did put it bac to 0 but is not doin anything good ok will this give me horsepower at all

 

Wow.....

 

hey he is not having any troubles with them
this is his way to sell stuff
and to each his own......

 

267 post and asking if an underdrive pulley will give him horse power. makes people wonder. and to solve your dilemma just take them off sell them to some homie and problem solved. you have to be wise when it comes to situations like these...... a wise man once told me "Go to bed with itchy butt, Wake up with brown Finger"

 

nothing wrong with part..like other people said.timing and valve lash.

 

o hey wuts tdc means

Holly crap......
Man you really need to search before you purchase any more parts.

Cam gears WILL NOT ADD OR TAKE AWAY ANY HP!!!!!!! They are made to help adjust aftermarket cams to gain the most about of HP from them. They really only become usefull when you have the car dyno tuned and the tuner makes minor adjustments to pull a few extra HP.

An under drive pully will free up HP, but one again just the under drive pully WILL NOT ADD ANY HP. What this means is your engine make 150hp, but by the time you put the AC, PS, Alternator belts on you "loose" a few HP because the engine now hase to use some power to move thoses belts. When you underdrive, or even get rid of some of thoses belt you free up HP. The chances of actually noticing anytihng of this is very small.


TDC is top dead center, meaning your #1 piston is right at the top of its stroke. This is the basis of all motor adjustments. You set you timing at TDC, you adjust valves starting at TDC, the marks on the block for timing are for TDC, the cam gear adjustemnts are made at TDC.

But serious search before you waste any more money on parts. What you are doing is called lego building, this will end up to very little HP gain, and a big empty spot in you wallet.

 

take the adj cam gears off, throw them on a good set of cams with your stock valve train and then tune the car

 

thnx racermech iam goin to take them off on wed an puttin the stock cam gears on an then double check if my belt is on tdc mark with the cam gears. any pics of how will it look on the tdc mark with stock cam gears. an one more thing hey like i said would i have to put in a new timing belt if i take out the skunk2 gears cuz i just put in the oem belt an is new.

 

dude, who are you? most of your posts are hard to read becuase you don't use punctuation. i'm not even sure why you made this post anyways, because you didn't listen to anything that anyone had to say. are you five years old?
