What is a picture of a cam gonna do for you?

 

its gonna show me whether or not the cams I got are Spoon Cams!!! (which is what I was told) and they don't appear to be, my cams appear to be more silver/steel color- I'm soooo pissed , i think I will send them to GUDE in cali, i spoke to them and they said they could spec (lift and duration) the cams I have for free. I have tried to find other makes of cams that have the same markings w/no luck (ie "M.1381" engraved on the ends of the cams - opposite the cam gear end) agggggh...... sorry for venting - thanks typer98

THe cams have a coating on them that will come off once they have been in an engine for a while.

Are these new cams? or were they in a motor previously?

 

the cams above i believe are new, but mine are a much more shiney silver steel color (hate to say it but mine look more like these http://www.crower.com/honda.shtml#camb18, i did already check w/crower and the markings I have are not consistant with any of there makes) - WTF cams do i have

 

here's something to check for....
look for these engraved rings on the ends:


Spoon cams have the same exact cam ID as CTR cams & that's because when Honda makes these cams for SPOON, they use CTR cores. Spoon cams should be a dark color like any of the R cams - since they're made by Honda for Spoon. Also, the lobes are pretty fatty when comparing to R cams.

If your cams are a shiny silver color..you got ripped off.
Silver cams...sound like a set of skunk cams - cuz those are silver colored cams if you didn't know. I have yet to see a set of Crower cams in person...

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE NEW??ARE THEY OR ARENT' THEY? DID U YOU BUY FROM A SHOP OR A PRIVATE PARTY? DID YOU BUY THESE NEW OR USED? ITS YOUR FAULT IF YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE SPOONS AND BOUGHT THEM FROM SOMEONE YOU DONT KNOW.. SORRY FOR THE HARSH TRUTH..

Does anyone know the specs for the spoon cams? I.e lift and duration?

 

thanks for the CAPITAL LETTERS - like i really need you tellin' me that now - Fast94 i meant the spoon cams in the pic that 98typer posted are new (ie above ) mine are not new - i wasn't sure what Phat R was referring to - BTW i just got his & his parents phone numbers (same addy I sent a postal money order to) so he will be hearing from me - I apologize to fast94, I'm just upset and venting - its obviously me who was

yeah I gotta sheet on the specs that came with the cams..
I'll post them up once I find them..

yup like what Katman said identical to factory honda cams

JUN have a raw metal color at the lobes, but look identical to the Spoonies. if i remember the Spoonies have a hole in them between the lobes (like stock)

good luck

 

yeah - the cams i have do have the hole in between the lobes, but the cams appear to be much more silver/steel in color (like crower or skunk2) I measure the length of the lobes on the intake cam - came out to be like 138.XXX, my buddy measure the lobes on his B17a cams (2nd gen GSR) and the lobes were longer like 140-141.XX in length - the width was slightly smaller on mine compared to his (but the length was longer than the width was longer in comparison - CONFUSING i know) - making both of us think that the cams I have may be f'n regrinds-I'll give this kid a day or two to reply before i contact the Kelawana (spell?) BC - canada authorities as well as USPS - for the international mail order I sent him

UPDATE - i just called the kid at home at his parents house (thanks int'l 411), it looks like I'll be getting my money back soon, and he'll be getting his cams back

I will be getting the real deal from A & J racing - BTW it should be noted spoon cams may be similar to Toda spec A's but NOT made by Toda - but really made by Honda - FYI A & J sent me pics of spoon cams same color as ITR/ CTR cams - for the guy that asked what good a pic will do me - much diff than the cams I have (which is why I asked) someday my setup may be complete - thanks to everyone that replied to my post w/ useful info i ain't soooo mad anymore

 

 

. goodwork on getting your money back.

 

Sounds like he tried to pull a fast one on you.
