how the hell am i goin to get this thing out. i dont want to have to change the whole cam gear...or am i goin to have to?

 

I like the brand Skunk2

 

i really dont mind replacing the cam gears but im low on funds right now until tax returns come back. im just tryin to put it back to 0,0 until the dyno, and yeah i do have cams so its a must!!!! good thing is dat they have never slipped on me(knock on wood)

AEM suck

 

why would you need aftermarket cams to use cam gears?? i gained 5hp across the board with my gears and i dont have aftermarket junk cams. if you work on your own car then you wouldnt be saying that chit!!! doing a tbelt every 20-30k is not an easy task....it aint like changing your oil

I second that

 

i dont have junk cams...matter of fact they cost about 900bucks if u think thats junk then i dont know where your getting your money but can i get in on that. i do work on my car and timing belt is a big job but u cant compare t/belts and oil changes...if u know how to do it..then do it.

 

the aem gear on my intake cam has a stripped bolt on it too. im just gonna save up and get better ones. its fixable, but i dont care. these gears lasted 3 years in my car

 

AEM released a statement about their cam gear bolts basically sucking, and they have been replaced with newer bolts... of course, they are not volunteering to replace ones already purchased....

 

Skunk2

 

Buy some new bolts from hardware shop

 

stcorsa.com has a new gear that is pretty nice. I just picked up a set. They have a "shoulder bolt" that eliminates slippage...

AEM camgears are okay...There might be better ones, yes. But if somebody knows how to pull screws even tight they are one of the best we can get here.
Have no problems with them.

 

I love my Skunk2's - but if I was to get a new set I would look into ENDYN's new gears. They allow you to zero out the gears on milled heads with different keyway slots. There are also nut and bolted together so you don't strip the cam gear itself out..... http://www.theoldone.com/components/camgears/

LOL!! I love open polls......

 

I mean, not to be a dick, but just out of curiosity, how do you spell ENDYN wrong when you post a pic of it and its written right there on the cam gear??

 

My buddy stripped the **** out of his Toda gears....No gears bolts or allen heads are strip proof.*I thought for sure Toda would at least use a 10mill instead of some SHITTY ALLENHEADS.Kinda odd for such nice gears.

 

They replaced mine free - then again, I played "stupid" which isn't much of a stretch for me

 

****, I wouldn't buy anything from Endyn, except maybe a cure for all these VDs

 

Fixed - happy....I type to fast sometimes

 

really im not a fan of some aem products , especially there cam gears , some friends had some not good experience with there cam gears

 

if this is true, then shame on aem!
