was given a 95% complete Y8 head for doing work on a kids car
he told me it had an aftermarket cam/valve springs in it of unknown brands

best way to spec/check these and try to find out what they are

shitty cell phone pics for basic info

Better pictures, please.

Measure base circle and lobe heights of cam pls.

Measure the valve spring free height, coil thickness, and cam lobe profile specs.

For the cam profile specs.
Compare to my thread: http://www.realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/index.php?topic=14562.0

Originally got this info from: http://causeforalarm.thecarthing.com/version6/version6.EG/3-stage_VTEC/index.html

For the stock valve spring info post up and I'll look at my spare parts and compare. ;D

thanks for catching my fuck up bone

corrected spec posting

You dont need a compressor to get the springs out. 1/2 inch long extension+heavy hammer. Couple good hits spring will come loose.

Chris is right. I only needed a compressor to install new ones.

92CXyD · « **Reply #8 on:** July 26, 2010, 08:04:02 PM »

your cam measurements
D16Y8 (stock) Cam Lobe Heights mm in in
Primary 36.778 1.4479 1.410
Mid 38.274 1.5068 1.517
Secondary 37.065 1.4592 1.402
Exhaust 38.008 1.4964 1.585

Looks like stock or worn stock depending on your measurements. $:-\$

well it looks like the cam is going to get shipped out when i send this this to chris for a lil magic work

whats the group theory of the delta 282 grind or something stronger then the 272 without spending like $350 on a cam Jew
it will be NA fail for a while then going boost down the road

common knowledge on regrinds, don't get to small on the base circle that you have issues with lash adjusters.

For example ZEX 59300 uses smaller base circles and thus has the rattle noise even though it is not a regrind.

that cam looks like a new billet I thought stock sohc vtec cams were lobes pressed onto a solid rod.

1slow91hf · « **Reply #13 on:** July 27, 2010, 05:20:14 PM »

another thing that made me think it was an aftermarket is the fact of the sides of the cam lobes are rough not smooth and its the first one ive seen like that

All of my z6 and y8 cams have little rough edges.

My z7 cam looks a little bit bigger and smoother. ;D

You realise that's a USDM profile shifted a couple degrees off?

DasPoop · « **Reply #17 on:** July 27, 2010, 06:24:06 PM »
