Okay. Before everyone resorts to cannibalism and lectures me for not reading around, searching, etc. I did all of those things.

The one thing all those threads out there don't state is what belt is supposed to be used for an A6 cam in a B7 head with a Y7/Y8 cam gear.

Either I missed something in those threads or I haven't stumbled upon the magic cam gear/belt thread yet.

Do I use the Y7/Y8 belt or the B7 belt?

Thanks in advance for being gentle and using lube,
Jacob

haha well you are changing the cam why would you use a different belt?


b7 belt

 

[wilsonjacob8]

I was leaning toward that since there was no mention of the belt in any of those threads.

Being a n00b, I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks a ton!!

yeah i know where you are coming from, can never hurt to double check.

good job on making everything clear and actually having a question. it is amazing how many people make post that are impossible to understand.

 

[wilsonjacob8]

I try to be as clear as can be

The only thing that threw me off was the fact that a different pulley was necessary.

Anyway, thanks again!

depends on what year cam you got =P.. haha oh now it gets difficult again :boink:

XD

The year of the A6 cam? Could you clarify that a little? Thanks

As I was dreaming last night, I came up with one more question. Are the valve adjustments the same on both cams?

 

[SpoonfedCivic]

It does depend on the year of the cam, and you will need the y7 cam gear as you already know. I actually helped a friend do this swap in his EF Civic, and I'm pretty sure we used the b7 timing belt.

What determines whether you need the Y7 or Y8? No one has clarified that yet.

So if I understand correctly, my setup will be:

D16A6 cam, Y7 (or Y8, somebody chime in here) cam gear, and original B7 belt?

Again, thanks everyone!

88 cams can use regular pm3 (d15b7) cam gear.

Y7/Y8 cam gear are the same...

 

[wilsonjacob8]

Okay. Unless there are any more unexpected additions, I think I know what I need now.

Thanks ForeverDeath & SpoonfedCivic!

I love how there is an entire dedicated thread to this subject......I'm pretty sure it's stickied.....yet this still exists.

SMH Good info nonetheless.

If everyone read the stickies I'd have less than 15k posts.

TRUE FACT!
