Cam gear
What after market adjustable cam gears fit the f22?
I've searched everywhere and it seems I'm limited to 3 choices obx, blox, or aem. Is anyone running these and what would you recommend to stay away from? Im running forged rods and pistons this spring and I know im going to need some adjustment with the tune when im done for correct air fuel ratios.

AEM is the only reputable brand of the 3 you listed. The others just sell replicas.
Also AFR tuning is generally done with the ECU and not with cam timing. Unless you get an aftermarket cam grind, there's really no need for the adjustable cam gear. It's just adding another failure point.

If you don't have an aftermarket camshaft that requires a it to be installed with a different center line, there is really no need for an Adj. cam gear. In the past I have tuned SOHC engines with adjustable AEM gears and stage 2 regrind camshaft. Performed best at 0, no need for physical adjustment. ECU tuning was all that was required. Much more usable if you have DOHC engine with supporting mods that require camshaft center-line adjustments.
But to answer your question, if you absolutely want an adjustable gear, one of the original AEM and Bisimoto gears were the most sought after for the F series.

Can I ask you to explain the adjustable feature on the timing gear....I have a 1998 honda accord and I had my motor rebuilt...but after the dissambly the mechanic has lost the timing gear that drives the 2 balancers.....I cant find a replacement anywhere....any advise ,?
Adjustability of the cam gear is a way to offer the ability to change timing at the hardware level. As spoken above, in general you should have no need for it, ECU tuning is the smartest way to put or remove timing and preferred in most cases.
