i been looking at alotta cam gears lately reading up on whats good and whats not. im really interested in skunk2 cam gears. anyone diss agree or have another suggestion? let me know and help out a fellow integra driver haha.
There really is no diffrence in cam gears. The only diffrence is the markings, and weather or not they are easy to read. I have the AEM ones and I like them. I have not seen other ones so i cant really compare.
2nd cam gears are cam gears. they are all made from the same 6061 t6 aluminum.(# is basically how they heat treated the aluminum). aem claims to have laser-etched markings for more precision. either way like baldy said, you are paying for a name.
I wouldn't trust anything but the best for such a vital valvetrain component, particularly since the best in this catagory is well within reach, price-wise. A slipped cam gear at 8,000+ rpm's can result in catastrophic damage to your engine's valvetrain, pistons and head. If you going to spend $150-$200 on Skunk2, AEM ect., what's another $50 for a set of Toda's or Spoon gears? (which, for the record, are the same thing).
