I believe the cams are just stock b16's but they have MA engraved on the ends of them. Not sure if that's a factory Honda engraving or not (I've never ran stock b16 cams). Also not sure what brand these gears are, hoping maybe someone on here knows

Top of the cam has M A on it





Gears

 

Stock b16 cams never had MA engraved so they are likely not stock. As far as the cam gears go those are old school style. Many jdm company's back in the day used that kind of gear which is a stock sprocket machined and fitted with the adjustable center.

 

Hmm wonder what the MA stands for. The gears have no markings that I saw

 

Specifically an "old school" JUN Cam Gear Circa 1996 .

As for the engraving... who knows.

 

Are you saying it's a JUN gear or just looks similar to one? The motor we pulled the cams out of also had a Spoon intake manifold gasket and a sleeved bottom end. I am assuming someone put some money into this thing at some point. The cams look like stock b16s on the rings, but someone above mentioned the stock ones never had M A engraved on them. I will snap a better pic of the cams in a few minutes and post

 

Gears look like stock modified, but by who? The cams look like b16 but the engraving is still throwing me off

 

Definitely JUN cam gears. The only way to know anything about the cams is to degree them measure their lift/duration.

 

JUN gears for sure...

 

We're gonna measure the vtec lobes tomorrow and i'll report back with measurements

 

I fell in love with those cam gears the moment i saw them..They are so Era correct ^_^

 

How much do you love them? They are most likely going up for sale

 

Had a buddy mic the cams for us today, this is what he came back with

Lobe Measurement:

Exhaust
1.36in vtec
34.55mm

Intake
1.38
35.05mm

 

You need to measure the base circle of the lobe and subtract that from the highest part. That will give you your lift.

 

Small lobe on intake reads:
1.382-1.253= .129"
35mm
So 35-31.7= 3.3mm

Exhaust in inches:
1.36-1.236= .124"

In mm it's:
34.76-31.36=3.4

I am thinking we measured something wrong lol

 

where u measured the highest lobe (midle lobe) is peak

base circle is the bottom of it so u measure by rotating that cam about 90-95degrees base circle that would be...

 

Those cam gears are useless without any timing marks on them.

My cam gears are engraved

 

Umm they are engraved lol, the white has faded. Look closely at the top of the gear, if you don't see it, i'll use MS Paint and circle it for ya haha

Ohhh now I see. Wheres the mark on the teeth?
