What brand is good for accords? I've checked out some AEM cam gears and they look pretty good...also, if anyone is selling let me know.

 

that's what i use.... but honestly, i don't think any one brand is better than the other (just like intakes)...

 

You'll want as many bolts as possible on the gear. AEM only has 3, my AEM gear slipped on me twice, I think it may have ruined my F22. Unothodox Racing makes a 5 bolt gear (the Ultra TR), but it's damn pricey. Crower makes a 4 bolt one that looks decent. http://www.unorthodoxracing.com http://www.crower.com

What difference do the bolts make?

 

More bolts = more torque to keep the toothed part of the cam gear from slipping relative to the body of the cam gear.

 

cool thanks man, I shall check them out......crower is probably best bang for my buck?

wow, the unorthodox racing one sounds really great. Price doesn't look too insane, $180. Hopefully I can find a coupon somewhere and get a discount on groupbuy. Does anyone have personal experience from this cam gear? I would like to hear some good news

 

Oh, $180 isn't too bad, for the DOHC H22 Ultra TRs they want 500+ bucks. Half a thousand dollars for 2 cam gears??!?!
Anyways, JG Luder on this board uses UR cam gears.
I wanted the Crowers until I saw the URs, but at that price I'll probably go with the Crowers.

 

cam sprockets are same thing as cam gears?

 

UR's ultra TS's have 4 bolts...not 5

 

Yes, the TS has 4, I'm talking about the TR, which has 5.

Oops so I typed TS way above. I've always meant the TR.

As far as I know cam sprockets and cam gears are one-and-the-same.

oh ok, cool. Would you recommend the TS or TR...considering price factor.
the tr's are probably over $200

 

I wouldn't recommend anything I've never tried, but I'd say it's a safe bet you can't go wrong with either the UR TS, TR, or the Crower.

 

well, cam gears won't slip if you torque the bolts down enough... and it's not that difficult kids... i've been using an AEM cam gear for over 2.5 years now... and i've never had a problem... so maybe more bolts will save you from negligence, but the best way to avoid any slippage of your cam gear is to avoid negligence... right?

 

I wouldn't doubt the mechanic that initially put mine on and torqued the bolts was negligent, but I still think the more bolts the better for shear piece of mind.

 

Does the Accord engine fit in the B series type of the cam sprockets. or is it F series cause of the F22A or F22B, i always get confused between all the engine title things.

 

accord engines are F series

 

has anyone else had problems with AEM?

 

skunk 2 sells a 6 bolt cam gear for about $120 for a 90-97 Accord

 

aw, too bad I got the 6th gen...
