Are the Gen 2 Toda camgears made out of aluminum? Timing belt shredded
Guys I was wondering if the Toda Camgears were made out of aluminium?
Currently I have the AEM latest gen cam gears and was wondering if they could cause the timing belt to slip.
which cam gears besides the AEM's are good?

Toda = Aluminum
Spoon Or Toda (same thing) Both Have nice gears!
Very easy to read with Vaner (sp?) Scale!

Most cam gear issues are do to improper installation, I have 5+ years on the same AEM cam gears on 3 different motors and no problems.

When I install my timing belt I usually use the coat hanger trick to pull up on the timing belt tensioner to make sure all the slack is taken off. but still, when the motor runs, there is still a lot of flapping going on... Is that normal?

as you stated in your earlier thread...i think your spec b's are the issue with a timing belt...

Make sure the timing belt was tensioned correctly. I had honda install mine and they focked it up. Then Willard installed it correctly and everything was alright.

if your belt is still flapping a couple things may be going on.
1) you tensioner is failing and loosens up when the belt is actually moving
2) incorrect installation

I see...I dont know how the tensioner could be failing. I take the tensioner spring out first then I use the hanger to pull up on the tensioner to take out the slack, then I make sure everything is at TDC, and while pulling up on the tensioner, I rotate the motor several times to make sure that everything lines up each time, while I take the slack out of the belt. After I'm done with that, I just tighten the 14mm timing belt tensioner bolt. After that I just put the tensioner spring back into place.
Hows that method of doing the timing belt?

coat hangers arent really strong enough to put much tension on it

a throttle cable wire and a strong guy work great for tighten up the tensioner. i agree with steve on the coat hanger thing. i never do it that way.
