I was there when he did the work, I just wasn't watching his every move or anything. Anyway, everything got all messed up the next day. I ended up needing a new cam, cam gears, and three new valves! He ended up paying for half the repairs plus he gave me those cams. I doubt there is anything else I could do since he wasn't a mechanic or anything. He was a pretty nice guy about everything.
So am I going to be OK with that cam with the less deep distributor hole or what? Why is it not as deep?
Thats sucks, I thought maybe you went to a shop. Looks like it's gonna cost more in the long run. b16 cams in a b18 will work, but not sure why anyone would want to do it. In your case, you need a cam in there, but your downgrading too. Check out
www.acuraparts247.com you can a type r intake cam for less than 3 bills. Have dude pay half and install it for you.
