Cam Gears

[Adz2332]

I bought Tomei cam gears for my GTR R33 and my tuner said to cut costs for me i could install them myself.

But my worries are. Are they easy to install? Will my timing be way out that its undrivable? Can i harm anything in doing it etc?? Can i harm anything by installing them and then waiting a month to get a tune?

ETC ETC

better off leaving it for the tuner to do mate if you can answer any of those questions yourself You can bugger stuff up quite badly if you bollocks up the timing.

What did he quote to install em for ya?

my advice is, get someone who is expert in tuning so that you don't get any worries! Well based on my experience it really takes time. . .

You DEFINITELY need to know what you are doing or be able to read and follow instructions very well. If you get your gears out of alignment (as in the cam is rotated to a point where it shouldnt be) from the pistons and other cam, it can cause major engine failure. I would either do a lot of research on how to do it (I think there is a post here on SAU on how to do it) or get someone who knows what they are doing to do it for you.

if you do it wrong you can destroy your engine.

Probly better to get him to do it and pay him. I would replace your timing belt if you have not done it in the last 50k km's
