A friend of mine recently sold his Prelude and he gave me his cam gears. I've seen a few threads throughout my days on H-T within the Prelude forum where people talking about their cam gears slipping. Could this be because of incorrect installation or does this regularly happen? Throughout my searches basically I have seen it is pretty much worthless to install cam gears on stock cams. With my mods listed below would I be wasting my time installing these?

112k H22A1
AEM CAI
Megan Header /w 2.5" collector
Megan Test Pipe
Tsudo 2.5" Catback
Exedy Stage 1
Fidanza 8lb Flywheel
Untuned V-AFC(maybe upgrading to Hondata in the near future)

 

The "gains" aren't worth the time to install or the risk that they might slip.

 

Just make sure the bolts are tight. If you still have problems with them slipping use Post-assembly loc-tite and put a drop where the outer ring and the inner part of the gear meet.

 

Oh and Gains... At the track, I Showed CONSISTENT 3-4 MPH 1/4 mi gains. And an average 1mpg better mileage. Cam Gears are really fun to play with if you know where to set them. You can switch from screamer to a torque monster in 5 minutes!
However.. Dont just slap them on and start cranking on them. You can try one degree at a time, and use a g-tech or something similar to get a ballpark. But definately don't advance or retard more than one or two degrees until you get it on a dyno. A dyno is the only way to maximise hp from the gears.
