WTF..... your kidding me right?

you cannot use a dohc vtec cam in a Dohc NON-vtec motor! your motor must run like *** right now. That dude is giving you BS and I pray for you sake that you don't take him seriously. If any fool told be that I would point my finger at him, laugh, and walk away from the deal, because the motors probably fucked up already.

hahah the funny thing is that it's a automatic...... <U>keeping up with 99si... (rights)</U>

But maybe i got you guy mix up...it it cam gears, NOT CAM. Sorry for the confusion .

imagestation is underconstruction...i'll try tomarrow. Meanwhile can any of you answer my concern about the pr3 cam gears in the ls motor? Is this goig to mess up my timing?

I was like you guys ( in disbelief) when the guy told me about the keeping up with the SI too...but, some people talk alot to sell ****.

Any input please

Same ****, same amount of teeth. Infact, I have PR3 stock cam gears on my B18A motor.... they were cleaner (no rust) so when changing out my timing belt, I just threw those on. Didn't affect timing at all.
