has any one used the OBX cam gears? if so, what are the good parts about it(if any) and what are the bad things about it.
OBX cam gears
- Thread starter super supra dave
- Start date
aluminum was not hardened enough and the holes for the pins on the cams widened causing knock
when i did this vid i thought it was actually rod knock...

so should i re-ebay these cam gears and go with some AEM cam gears or is there anything i can do to make the OBX work and to make that nosie?

and oh what a relief it was to know it was just the gears :icon_bigg. Thankfully you guys gave me some other insight as to what it could be that lead me to the real culprits (stupid OBX :3d_frown

Yeah, send them back home (chinaBay).
Or use them for wheel inserts on a riding mower.......
AEM, Fidanza, Unorthodx, or even (if you can find them)
some of the old school gears from HKS, JUN,
or some other Japanese co.
Some of the Oh weBe junX gears don't even fit the cams.
Typical chinese crap.........
^That's what I was gonna say
Faster and cheaper thand sending them back and getting different ones.

Only proviso I'll add the the Hard anodising suggestion is make sure they're NOT 2000 series aluminium
you can get titan cam gears for $210 from a vendor here on SM its a good deal only 20-30 more then the obx...atleast i think lol i dont remember how much obx was.

how do they not fit? i havent got my head back from the shop yet so i havent put them on yet. i might just see what i have to work with, and then maybe just use it as a key ring if they are not good.
