Default cam gears

im looking to buy some camgears for my b16 in a 92 integra. do you recommend getting brand name like aem or skunk2? or do you think i can get away with some 150 dollar ebay set? have any of you tried a generic brand from ebay? hows the reliability?

Toda ftw....to me its the best quality cam/cam gear made...i never had any problems with either the cams or the gears...ive heard AEM was a cheap set but i wouldnt go cheap on such an important part of the motor...just my thoughts im sure there are others that beg to differ

Not sure I agree. Crower is up there, IMO.

@ OP:
Don't skimp on cam gears, the ebay **** has a tendency to slip, and when it does you hope it's only a little bit so the engine doesn't get the **** kicked out of it.

Buy a good set of cam gears...
