i have a jdm b16a, and i just wanna replace the cam gears becuz the ones that are on they are a lil rusty and nasty looking, and and are the came gears supposed to be exposed?What kind of cam gears should i get for a jdm b16a?
If you really need to replace the cam gear, you should just
order what you need from your auto parts supplier. You
should just get the standard gear listed for your engine as
to get a different size would alter the engine camshaft
timing, and require a lot more work, and parts to fix.
As to the gear looking a little rusty, that shouldn't have
any effect on it working if it is still in use in the car. If
the cam has been out, and you are just putting it back
together I would suggest that you just get a rust remover
to clean it off. If there are large pits or deep gouge
grooves in the gear, I would order a replacement. If
the gear is still in the car, but the car is running well,
I wouldn't worry so much about the gear, but I would
start looking as to why it isn't getting some engine oil
onto it for lubrication.
As for cam gears being exposed, yes some are
plainly visible at the top of the engine inside a space
in the head. Once you remove the rocker arm cover
you can see them well.
