so i bought a skunk 2 cam gear for my y8 head..... and it doesnt have the notch that locks it into the end of the cam.... its actualy got a groove that goes the other way, but everythign stil lines up nice... and it doesnt apear like anything is missing... whats goin on with that?

It's missing the key? You take that off of your cams. You just re-use your stock ones.

well.... my stock cam has it.... but its a solid peace.... so im realy stumped

a better question would be why did you buy an adjustable cam gear for your stock cam?

ReVenGe

for my mini me swap, because i need to retard the timing

and a weird note, the mechanic i took it to after i failed said that the cam in their was not a stock one, but the guy i bought the head from didnt mention anything about changin the cam, but i didnt buy the gear for that





anyway...... see in the middle, there is a notch going up?



its suposed to be a notch going in the other direction, lockin it in.

Are you totally sure it's a solid piece?? Because no cam gears come with the keys. Worst case scenerio you buy new ones from the stealership for like $12.

as stated... need a stock key. first though... before you do anything w/ the valve train... you'd better figure out what the hell that cam is.

b-series stock cams have the key
d-series stock cams don't have the key

find someone with old b-cams that isn't using them.. rip the gear off & use the key!

or go to the dealer & order a key

or go to a parts store. assortment packs are like 4 bux
