Well, I picked up a set of full-race cam gears from honda-tech. Well, I checked with the instructions on full-race's site, and it said that I should only use the cam gear attaching bolts and washers that were included. Full-Race Cam Gear Instructions But I bought them used, so I only got the cam gears:



Will I be okay if I reuse my stock ones?

The instructions are pretty specific about using their bolts and washers.If you bought them new shouldn't they have come with all the hardware?I would just get the right parts on Tuesday.

Yea, I think they might be a different length, I was just curious to see if anyone did them with the stock bolts and it was fine. Because honestly I don't see why you should have to change them unless they are thicker where the bolt goes threw the cam gear....

 

they are meaning the 6 hex bolts that holds the cam gears togather. not the 14mm bolt that tighten down to the camshaft

No it has two torque specs listed under instructions one for the adjustment bolts and one of the cam gear attaching bolts.

if you click the link, it says:

Cam gear attaching bolt: Please refer to your Honda Factory Service Manual for the correct procedure.
Only use the bolts and wasters provided. They should be tightened to 40~42lbft.

I think I'm just going to wait for Full-Race to e-mail me back.

 

whoops...that's a typo. should read use the OEM hardware (bolts & washers) to fasten the gears to the cams.
