Default D16a6 cam in D16y7?

i have had people tell me the d16a6 cam will fit, but some say you have to use a different cam gear like one from a d16y8 to get it to work perfectly...

im trying to find out indefinatly.....

if anyone knows pleeease let me know

yes i believe it will work but it will be a tooth off....you have to use a different cam gear(don't know which one) but i'm sure an aftermarket one would work...

teh cam it self WILL NOT work in the y7 head the y7 head is a different design than the a6 it is based on the z6 head more so than a a6 head its a vtec design without vtec

well if you look at the y8 head is basically a y7 head with vtec...

the vavle springs are the same rocker design is the same


so why wouldnt it be similar
