Does anyone know if any companies make locking Adjustable Cam Gears for the H22A so that my cam gears don't slip.

ST Corsa makes them only for B-Series People

 

No one interested or knows?

 

skunk2, aem.

Skunk2 and AEM aren't locking cam gears. You tighten them via bolts to a specified torque. Because of this, you have to check them on a regular basis to make sure your camgears aren't sleeping. AEM has been known to slip by other users. I've heard of Skunk2 Cam Gears slipping slightly after a few thousand miles w/ their own valvetrain and their Stage II Camshafts. The owner would readjust it every few thousand miles. I don't want to have to do that all the time to my car.

 

thats a nice set of gears, does it allow you to lock it fer every degree or rotation on the gear?

I have JG gears on my h23, i have no had them slip, but i also have not gone very long with out adjusting, they are a 6 bolt, compared to the three on the AEM's

I have JG Adjustable Cam Gears with the 6 Bolt-Pattern. After a few years of service, they are starting to slip. I'm looking for new cam gears now. These look nice!

 

thats the same idea a friend of mine had when he designed some.. i dont know if it ever took off.. i havent talked to him for some time

 

according to skunk2....there cam gears work on b-series and h22, same gears for both, soo wouldn't those work as well?

the part number for the B series and the h23 are the same but the h22 is different

 

correct, i believe the h22's are different due to a larger OD on the vtec cams

 

High temp high strenth..



I threw out the original cap screws that came with my skunks and got a better grade - a little loctite on the threads and a dab on the base of the cap screw then your cool.

So what does the Loctite do? It's an adhesive right? If you put it on, what if you want to make adjustments after?

Loctite is just crazy-glue for metal.

Just dial it in at the dyno. then take out one bolt at a time and loctite it. When it comes time to dyno again then they should come out with a little leverage but this is why you buy high-grade capscrews.. the last thing you wanna do is strip anything. There are 100 different types of loctite, if your worried then dont use perminant strenth, use removable strength.

There is also lockwashers but people tend to not want to scratch up their sprokets.

 

hmm...my bad..thought the box for my friends gears said b-16,b-18, and h22...must have been h23
