Posted by Stickman, Sep-05-02 01:24 PM
I know that most cam gears are the same,but I have heard that onsome of the ones with adjustable bolts,the bolts come loose and you have to tighten them all the time.My question is which cam gears to go with for the price and quality.. Any HELP???

Alls I know is that the AEM gears are EFFED up, and 0 degrees is incorrect on them.

#1-Unorthodox #2-Crower #-3 AEM.

W/ the AEM you need to re-mark the 0 deg settings other than that they are just ok.

Do the Unorthodox cams loosen up at all??

And how much are they??

Well, the AEM gears are not indexed for our cars. Rather, they are indexed for the DOHC Neon. This is fairly easily remedied by re-marking them according to the stock gears.
Hope this helped!

Hey Guys, what about the Fidanza Cam Gears that Howell sells? Are they any good?

I think the AEM cam gears are fine as long as you remember to put the timing marks on them in the same place as the stock ones.
