Re: aem cam gears

adjusting cam gears is a touchy thing if you dont know how to do it. i know that with N/A cars you want to have a bit overlap. Naturally aspirated engines, like Hondas, rely on valve overlap to fill the cylinders. this means that the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time. another problem is if the exhaust is retarded past 8 degrees the problem of valve to piston clearance becomes an issue. my best advice is to get a professional with a dyno to set it. the "butt dyno" can cause many problems in the future.
