Default Golden eagle cam gears

Is anyone using these http://www.groupbuycenter.com/buy.aspx?id=13378 ?

Heard anything about them? Good or bad? Comparable to skunk2s?

here's my opinion, I like the idea you don't have to squint to see the marks line up correctly(one of things I hated about my AEM cam gear ). all you have to do is line up the big marks. it's great if you're tuning your car when you don't have an access to a drop light.

Thanks for the reply. My main concern I guess is slipage which I heard was an issue with the AEM gears.

I can choose between these (new) for $145 or skunk2s (used) for like $120. So is it better to get nice and new, or tried and true? Have there been any problems with skunk2s?

I didn't think that it was possible to be disappointed in cam gears, but I was. The cam gear keys didn't fit in either gear and the bolts rusted before I even got the gears on the car. I had to file the cam gears to fit the keys and I've left the rusty bolts on- natural bling bling.

I'm currently not too thrilled with my GE cam gear...

http://www.d-series.org/viewtopic.php?t=3794

You can just jump to page 3 of the thread. I'm still waiting on a reply from Vince @ GE. Hopefully the confusion can be resolved, or the gear fixed, whichever the case may be.

I too, had to file the cam gear keys to fit my B18C5. Perhaps the anodizing on the gears was a tad too thick? Other than that, they are nice.

Perhaps GE has fixed this issue?

if you have to grind the keyway, that would certainly throw off your cam timing.

Exactly. I ground it equally on each side to minimize the cam timing change.
