and my ****** jun3 exhaust cam snapped where the cam gear mounts. luckly only MINOR piston damage and 4 bent valves. the bent valves were in uniform (smallest cam lobe) any jun 3 exhaust cams for sell out there? i need a ****** replacement cam my feeling are hurt. for right now im just mobbin my intake jun cam and stock b16 exh. cam. what can cause thta **** to happen. i was at 2000 rpms or so and everything from my valve cover to oil pan was torqued to specs. i took no short cuts. in need of advice, info, spots who sells individual juns cams, all that ****.

 

did you use a torque wrench when torquing down everything to spec during the install?

 

a brand new snap on torque wrench. i was at low rpms when it broke and the damage was in uniform. i have no ides what could have caused this ****.

 

man that sucks. hope you get everything all taken care of.

I know its not Jun cams, but I know someone that may have a new set of RS Machine cams, just the Exhaust only.. Brand new. if interested in that let me know.

 

i'd definatley call jun and tell them about it... you might luck out and they'll send you a new cam or something. i mean its the least they could do for a cam snapping after 76 miles.

 

yeah the car is back on the road. had replace 4 exh. valves. but i did email jun i'll give them until tonight and then i'll call and see what the ****.

 

i think you ought to wait and see what jun does
because if i spent that much money on a set of
cams for them to break in like two days of
driving i would be pissed as hell.

that is just my two cents

 

i am waiting to see what they have to say. i am mas as ****.

 

so will portflow. what are you talkin about?

 

i have heard this happening to a few ppl..i have actually seen 1 happen. exhaust cam also.
what valve train are you using.?
juns?
i am not sure why it is happening but someone (ithink on this board)
said that the jun valve train is no good for the 3...

 

i really, really doubt its the cams... if they were new.

 

How did you install the cam gears? No air rachet I hope.

 

no air rachet. portflow springs and retainers. its all said and done im not worried about it anymore. and the cams were installed corrected and torqued to specs.

 

what do you mean by "its all said and done" ? did jun contact you?

 

yeah i tried but they wont email me back. then i call and they speak some what descent engine until there about a cam snappin, then they didn't understand what i was sayin so **** it. all i can do is get another one and take the lost.

 

what r the torque specs for the juns?

 

no way man, keep getting in touch with them, thats what companies do, ignore you until you annoy them enough. thats not acceptable for it to break that new. keep on them and hopefully you'll get better results, just have to talk to the right people

 

i'd think they'd offer a warranty on such a critical/expensive part. i would be pissed if anything i bought broke that soon.

i was instaling a set of jun cams once and i broke a cam in half on install. i really feal it was not my fault either.

 

yeah its pretty shitty. i torqued them to honda specs. it broke at where the cam gear mounts. it looks like it was a default. i've done many cam swaps and this was the only one that ever snap.(knock on wood) but all i can do is keep emailing jun. all i want is a ******* response. but **** IT. I'll copp another cam or set in a second. **** ****** HAPPENS

 

a friend of mines crower broke and he got them to replace the cams free of charge.

 

well, i wouldnt expect a response until tuesday, isnt monday president's day? businesses dont usually reply on non business days. just a little fyi, and the reason why you probably arent getting a response.

 

Jun is wack. I have had my Jun dealer emailing them for 3 months about my broken cam. They wont even respond.

 

good luck Jun customer servive sux I had my cam break as well in the same place and have recieved a reponse yet

TODA the only way to go

what about the timing belt???

Was it super *** tight??? Did you go by the bible and check for the correct slack of the belt? Just curious if you did...............cause I've seen OEM cams break cause the t-belt was tighter than a ..........opps, I won't go there.

Plus, its a freaking race part. Race parts will break, wanna go fast, you will break. Don't wanna deal with broken parts, don't touch it!!!
