no. might have warped them when i removed them. didnt figure id need them anymore, so i put them in a vise to remove the bolt. i didnt want to damage the surface of the cam. i put some stank on the vise, and therye kinda like cam gear ellipses now.

 

I would definitely put the stock cam gears back on. If you're not adjusting them (and properly) then aftermarket serves no purpose.

 

like i said, they aint round anymore. i dont mind buying better ones if the $90 vision racing ones arent nice enough. i will not be tuning the car myself, but i would like to have the option of adjusting the timing later on. i like them cuz theyre purty.

 

I searched for some purple ones for you but the only ones I can find are HKS and unfortunately they only make those for Mitsu and Toyota engines.

Maybe you could go with some sleek looking black ones?

 

can you post a pic of the side of your motor where timing belt and stuff is.

 

I think this titanium color might look pretty badass

yeah, i'll post engine pics tomorrow. b4 i replace the belt, im gonna re do the tensioning procedure, and remove, straight edge, and re apply my cam gears. thx for being patient with me everybody. im super anxious to get back to the ej. my 97 d16y7 4 door is boring. and rickety as hell.

 

destruction: thx for lookin for me. the titanium bdyy club ones are pretty hip. there is an anodization company not too far from here, or powdercoating purple is an option. i will have to wait til tomorrow on a pic. my camera is AWOL and my palm doesnt take pics too well. once again, thx for the help everybody. im truly baffled by this one...

 

sorry again, i wont be able to work on the car til wednesday. been working @ the racetrack. gotta work kevin schwantz suzuki school til tuesday... boooring...

 

yo everybody!!! the timing belt guide plate (little bent washer thingy) wasnt even on there! whoever installed the unorthodox crank pully and timing belt neglected to put the guide plate back on. i took pics but my phone and computer hate eachother... anywho. i hope that all i need to do is buy one, install it, and voila! keep your fingers crossed for me everybody!!!
