My cam gear timing mark is about half a tooth pitch off when the crank is at TDC. I think this is due to the head being milled, possibly more than once. Anyway, I am trying to figure out what cam gear to get so that I can get the cam timing back to normal.
I did a search and found many complaints about the AEM cam gears because they slip or strip the threads as a result of only having three bolts. However, some people recommended the AEM cam gear because it has the correct "stock" timing mark approximately in the 7 o'clock position for the D16z6. This timing mark lines up with a pointer on the timing belt back cover. Are there any adjustable cam gears with more than 3 bolts and also with the stock 7 o'clock timing mark? If you recommend some other cam gear, what would be the procedure to get the timing back to stock?
Thanks

 

Skunk2 works good , good price as well.

anything with accurate marks and 5 bolts will suffice.

 

never had a problem with my AEM cam gear in the 4 years I've been using it. btw a second choice would be the golden eagle cam gear.

 

What would be the timing procedure using the Skunk2 cam gear (or the GE) on the D16Z6? From the information I gathered, the keyway on the '88-95 D-series cams sits at a different angle than on the '96 and up D-series, yet there is only one Skunk2 cam gear model for all of the D-series. Does Skunk2 tell you to use an angular offset for either the older or newer D-series?

 

if skunk list one gear for all Ds they need to do thier R+D alittle better
