question:

does it matter if your camgear you gonna buy is made for a D16z6 head or D16y8 head.

i'm gonna place it on a D14a3 head, wich one is best?

the brand is Crower btw don't know if that's usefull information?

thnx anyway

Nope it doesn't matter, D14/15/16 camgears are all the same.

[lakaiD14]

i thought so to, but the difference is, i suppose the timingmarks anyway i know by now it fits

haha thnx

[baz]

Thats correct Good luck and post some photos when you've got it

then the question is...........

my camgear(stock) uses the 7 o clock timing mark, the d16z6 had wich timingmark does that head use and wich timingmark is used on the D16y8 head?

[baz]

That my friend, i dont know

[lakaiD14]

i just copy them from the stock camgear andengrave the timingmarks in the new camgear

easy done!

D16Z6 should be 7 o'clock.
D16Y8 uses 3 and 9 o'clock (its cam gear doesn't have 7!)

Since deck height is the same of both engines I always wonder if it means the teeth of the crankshaft gear are differently alligned?

Must be that...
How can we know?
Opening two heads solve the problem?
I got acess to an Y8 one.

Nah I got the heads myselfs, it is in the rest of the block I think.

I also never understood why the classic mini-me (D16Z6 head on D15B2/7) gives timing belt problems. I always expected the 103 teeth belt to fit, but tried it myself and really 104 teeth is the way to go. Some minor diffs in the block I expect.
