i bought a y8 head and it had a cam gear on it but not bolted on. so i dont know if it came on there stock or not knowing the guy i bought it from. but it is the exact same as my d15b7 cam gear? is this right or are they suppose to be different. number of teeth, etc.

 

can someone please post a picture of a stock y8 cam gear or count how many teeth are on it? thanks!

 

no there are not the same 1. it different generation 2. d15b7 non vtec motor and y8 vtec motor.

ok but what exactly is different? will a b7 cam gear work on a y8 head? are the tdc and timing marks different? same amount of teeth?

deciding if i need to order a y8 cam gear and have to wait even longer for it to get here to get my car running..

 

it will work fine. but the y8 cam is better quality and lighter i guess.

 

well i take that back found a pic of a genuine honda cam gear of 95 delsol si it fit on 1988-2000 also.

 

yea thats the one i have. i have two of them. but i heard the timing and tdc marks are different on the y8 versus the b7/z6. im just gonna order a y8 one. theyre only $9.

but i really need to know if they are both the same size. like do they have the same amount of teeth? want to know if its gonna affect my timing belt situation.

 

well what i think is this an 92-95 vtec camgear and timing belt is the same for 96-00 as for the tdc mark it should be the same but i could be wrong try to contact honda and ask them. just buy a new camgear if it only 9$
