While doing the timing belt change on my 94 Accord LX with f22b2 engine non-vtec, my mechanic noticed that the cam was cracked by the pulley, on the cam itself. A couple years ago, my cam pulley bolt came loose, and it might have stressed the connection back then.

In any case, I need a replacement cam lobe. Any ideas on the best way to obtain one for cheap? I checked ebay and craigslist and didnt find any, and I'm obviously not going to the dealer for that. I do not want any performance increase. I just want a plain-Jane stock cam.

 

I would start with self serve junk yards or similar and try to find the one you're looking for. they don't normally crack so chances of finding a useable one are good. as long as it's free of any scaring or extreme wear and you have your mechanic check the clearances between the replacement cam and the journals in the head/rocker assembly, you should be fine running it.

 

most junkyards want $40-60 for a camshaft.... i'd go there.

 

Okay. Cool. Sounds like a plan. Thanks guys!

 

Junkyard +10. I got an F22A6 cam from a pick-n-pull when I was still running an F22B2 for next to nothing(never installed it), and it's just sitting in my basement. I'm in Toledo and would let it go for cheap, but you're probably better off just going to the junkyard.
