Me, 1107, BrewCityR, and Splitime are going to be installing my Spoon camsprockets tonite and I'm a little unsure of one little detail...Hoping you guys can help me out. From all the info I've seen on c-speed and just from seeing other peoples experiences I've noticed that most aftermarket cam gears come with what I believe is called a "woodruff" key or something like that. Well my Spoon gears did not come with any, and to be honest I'm not too sure if this key is indeed required. I'd hate to start attempting the install and then realize that the key is needed. Any info would be appreciated

 

Reuse the OEM keys.

[e] And YES they are required!

I figured the OEM ones would be fine, and I know those are required, just wasn't sure if a different one was required for aftermarket gears. Thanks smokin fish

 

*--<''(^)><|

 

So that's what that is?!?
I thought it was .... just all bent up.

 

 

I've got the step-by-step from c-speed, but are there any pointers or tips you can suggest to ensure my cams not to move while doing the install?

 

Feesh, not fish. Haven't you ever seen a fish with a chronic (*coughcough*) problem?

Nate - don't lose the stock keys between now and this afternoon!

 

How would I loose the keys fucktard? They wont come out until we take the stock gears out ********...

Nate-who is yet another feesh in the sea with a chronic (coughcough) problem

 

I'm ******* with you, TED!!!

Cam gears, no problem. Bring it on, woman!

Now, rubber exhaust hangers for the exhaust... that scares me.

 

Feeesh?

More like a pregnant Guppie!
But yeah, keep those woodruff keys.

 

Crazy wookies.

 

one for each of you jive turkeys that responded with wiseness

 

Ever notice that Nate posts HALF of the posts in his threads? Post *****.

 

Ever notice Chris posts in just about every topic so he can hopefully make the "Top 10 Poster" list for the week

 

IBTL.
Don't forget to bring your helms. Oh, that's right, you don't have one.

Seriously, you got some info to help you tune these gears/vafc at the dyno tommorrow?

 

Phew, glad I'm off of there. :\

sack-who ownz j00

 

Charles is gonna help me out with both so everything should be good. Make sure Dave brings some Hondabond with him tonight. I'm trying to think if there's any other last minute things we need (besides trying to figure out how the hell I'm gonna cut that other valve cover )

 

Don't forget the torque wrench!

Chris - who's off the top ten posters list for g00t. It was a nice run there....

 

LOL, like 2 months ago me and Chris had the same # of posts

Edit: People actually look at the "Top 10 Posters"?!

Are you guys tuning stock cams?

 

CPR - Yes we are. Stock cams, spoon cam gears (the good ones!) and vafc. Any tips?

 

Actually, I was hoping to get tips from you after your dyno session. I've been playing around with the idea of using cam gears on stock cams but I held off on that plan. I'm thinking that since I'm going to get cams eventually, I might as well dyno tune all at once.

 

Well, I'm going to do what Nate is doing. Stock cams and cam gears. I'm happy with my setup and can't see too many more mods coming along, except the ones that are already planned. I would like to see what these stock cams can do.....

If we get any good increases, you'll see them on here!

Who's got experience with tuning stock cams on here, anyways?

 

I'm guessing the adjustments to my gears will be minimal...the most I could predict signifigant gains with would be +2 or +4 intake and -1 or -2 exhaust, but well see. Too bad Leo couldn't get my headgasket to me sooner Just kidding mang, which reminds me, if you read this, will you have it tomorrow?
