alright well ive herd a lil about this and how it is a more agressive cam and will give u more power up top. and ive searched but i cant find a good wrie up on how to do the swap??? can somebody do a write up? maybe even with pics!!! all opinions are open on this swap. if you have done this swap please leave some input.

-thanks

 

nobody knows eh?

 

no write up required...

you need an a6 cam and a y7-y8 cam gear or 96-00 adjustable cam gear

take out the stock b7 cam/gear

replace with a6/y7 cam/ gear

do a valve adjustment

and drive....


go to d-series.org and search next time you have to figure out a d-series tech question.. they have writeups on all the common stuff

how come u need an y7/y8 cam gear?

 

it fixing the timing problem you will have.. the cam does not keep the same timing between the a6 and b7.. the y7/y8 gear corrects this issue..(mostly, it is still very slightly off)... an adjustable cam gear for 96-00 sohc is the best way to do it

 

i see...thanks for the info

 

is it time consuming??? also how do you do a valve adjustment???

is this swap worth my time??

-thanks

so why do you have to do the vlave adjustment? do the tolerances get all messed up or something???

-thanks

 

the cam profiles are not the same...so when u put the new cam in it is going to affect the clearance between the rocker and lobe....that is why u need to readjust ur valve lash in order to keep the proper clearance...there is a trick when doing the valve adjustment where u can finish in half the time....when u r doing cyl.1, cyl.4 will also be at tdc...so adjust the valve lash on cyl.4 at the sdame time...likewise for 2 and 3....make sure to do the exhaust side first and then the intake
