Ebay Cam gear

[Fernflex]

Has anyone installed the cam gear from ebay? Are they good or bad, what about quality?

Bad. The adjustable screws have been known to come loose on their own. Bad things happen.

EDIT: had no idea they "redesigned" it. Things could be different, I guess.

I have one - the quality is fine, very nice actually. I don't think the screws should come out, but I replaced mine with stainless screws anyway so they don't interfere with my cam sensor.

I've never heard of them coming apart, so I don't know what stories Brandon12v has heard..

Heres what I think about these cam gears:



This was after only 2k miles, thought it was a rod knock, actually drove it hard down to the shop, didn't break which surprised me. Engine was tired, had real low compression numbers. I replaced the outer bolts with grade 8 bolts, couldn't find the inners because they are tapered. The marks were put on wrong from the factory when I got this one. I'm running a stock gear now on my 2.8 stroker, don't waste your money. They are garbage.

If you want one get a good one from PPF: http://server.pure-pf.com/webshop/pp...e493a80f8146ea
