broken cam

hey i just tried to fire up my mini me swap for the first time and i discovered i have a broken camshaft. will the zc cam work in the y8 head or do i got to get one specifically for the y8. thanks paul

Itll work, but the timing is going to be off and the engine will run differently.

ive got a z6 cam lay around from a mini me swap i thought about doing. but then i decided to make some numbers with a no vtec a6.

is there other cams i can use in this head to get it to run normal im having a hard time finding another y8 cam. the ones i have found have been whole cylider heads. so if anybody has one they would like to part with let me know.

You could always get a new cam and make more power..

you could try to find regrinds as well if you dont mind any of that kind of stuff. alittle extra spunk. i suppose. the z6 came is fairly close. im guessing since its a sohc vtec cam.

ok so i got another head cause it was cheaper to get the whole head than just the cam. its a good thing too cause we took that broken cam head apart and the bearings were just toast it was so bad i dont think having it machined would have brought it back.(for any reasonable amount of money anyways) but i have a question about timing the mini me. do i time it to the spec of the car i got te head off of or do i time it for the 1990 spec. does it depend on the computer you use or the head. i would guess the head but im not sure. but if you need to know im running a chipped pm6 for now untill i convert to obd1 to run the vtec right.And the head is a y8. if you have any answers or suggetions let me know. thanks again Paul

To the cam, or in your case the head.
