Please Help! Cam Gears Installed Wrong Way

[Phatboy]

Hi guys, also on the same GTR, at the mechanical inspection the guy said that the cam gears had been installed the wrong way. ie., retarding the intake and advancing the exit instead of the other way around. He could see this as it had a clear cam cover.

Do you think this could have damaged the engine at all?

The guy who owns it has been driving it around like this for a year without noticing anything untoward. The GTR does feel a bit lazy though. The mechanic said that if he adjusted the gears the correct way, I should expect to come onto boost earlier, making it more responsive. Will this need a whole new Power FC tune again as he says? He is quoting me $800 for the whole job.

Cheers. Much appreciated.

You know you can ask multiple questions in the 1 thread...

Sorry, usually when I ask multiple questions people just answer one, and I end up having to ask again anyway.

if they are chinese cam gears the A and R are marked incorrectly so its probably right

As mentioned...the aerospeed cam gears and another brand from memory have A and R the wrong way round...

The cam gears are HKS.

Good info re the Chinese gears. Must be the curse of the ENGRISH again!
