whats the best way to take them off and install them? i cant seem to get the bolts loose, thanks!

 

anyone?

 

just put a socket wrench on the crank pulley and turn it till it wedges.
Then it'll hold in place while you loosen then cam gear bolt.

 

head is off the block, sorry!

 

the cam has a spot for a open ended wrench and put a socket on the cam bolt

 

ok cool, ill check it out, thanks

 

i didnt see the spot for the open wrench

 

Most Honda cams have a hex cast into them where you can use a wrench to hold it. If you can't find that, then most cams also have a hole cast into them that's used to lock the cam at TDC while in the head. This hole lines up with a hole in the cam cap, and you insert a 5 or 6mm punch to hold the cam in place at TDC. You can theoretically use this hole to hold the cam while loosening the cam gear bolt, but be advised that there have been cases of people snapping this piece off of B18A/B cam caps, so be careful if you have an LS. The B series VTEC heads have this hole in a thicker part of the cam cap cover plate, so it isn't as much of an issue. If you have access to air tools, then an impact wrench would probably be your fastest option for removing the bolts. Just make use you use something soft to wrap around the cam while holding it in place, preferably with a vise or something.

 

i have a h22 motor!

and how would i install it? i can get the air gun, but when i tighten i wont be able to know the torque

 

yeah there is a spot for a open ended wrench

i have a air gun, but let my friend barrow it, the problem then will be how do i tighten it?

 

Isn't there a hole in the cam gear that you can stick a screw driver through and lock it up against the head ?

D series have a hole.

 

ill have to check, the thing is the head is off the car, i might have to step on the head just so it doesnt turn but ill try that, but like i said mu concern now is how will i tighten them back up?

thats cause there isnt a spot on h22 cams

when i took my cam gears off i stuck a wrench through the gear and lodged it under the cap next to the gear where it has the bolt for the VC, but to tighten it i wouldnt know my cam gears have the key cast into it so i wasnt able to install my jun gears
