Ebay Cam Gears

if you have to goto the effort to replace the bolts as the supplied ones are ass that kinda says something about the product doesnt it ?

Not really. In my 3s-gte motor, when doing the buildup, I used the stock rods but replaced the bolts with ARP items. Doesn't mean the rods were no good or not up to the job, just meant that you could make them alot stronger by repalcing the possible weak point. Kind of the same thing here, I reckon.

i bought a pair of "OZSOME" 5-bolt ones they arrived yesterday $100 inc postage thanks again ebay..

the bolts provided do really look pretty crap so i've taken one off to get measured up for replacement at my local QES.. most likely stainless with a flat washer will be going back in

the gears themselves are machined steel outer with a cnc machined alloy inner, the quality doesn't look too bad in all honesty, there is alot of meat in them and i can't see an obvious weakness just yet but will report once in use.. the contact area for the bolts to clamp down on is a full circle, which would indicate ALOT of torsion would be required to let it 'slip' out of its set degree position. the contact area where the belt would go doesn't have burrs/sharp edges or anything that would cause a mechanical failure of the belt.

the timing marking are also quite clear and finely laser engraved.

sure i wouldn't put these on my forged big $$ project, but mine is a clunker from back when paul keating was in power.. so i'm happy to give them 1/2 a chance..
