hmmmm...I dont think I've ever seen anyone put camshaft gears on the ITR DOHC.....except for this one of course but they look like they are painted on. And to my knowledge, I didnt know the camshaft gears were even VISABLE on this engine....

The engine for the model does not showthe camshaft gears I just checked my model engine. THe guy did something, doesn't look hard to do.

The B18C5 present in the Type R, has a cover over the cam gears, some people remove it though when they upgrade the gears. Maybe you can take a piece of the parts tree and cut it to get 2 circles to use as cam gears??

if you look at the engine with out the valve cover on there are the bottom halfs of the cam gears on there! but stock the valve cover covers them up

Look closely it under the cover of the part that is trimmed white it looks like he cut that part under the cover and then put the cam gears.

I have put cam gears on all my ITR engines, I just use the correct dia. styrene (or parts tree) and glue them into place. I do not have any good pics yet, I will try to post some soon. The real integra does not come with the cam gears expossed nor does any of the honda motors for that
matter. When you upgrade to adj. cam gears you "Trim" (Not remove) the valve cover to expose the cam gears to make them MUCH easier to adjust, it also adds a nice touch to the engine bay. here is a pic of my motor before I dropped it into my civic, hope this helps for reaserch! I will post pics of my model ITR w/ cam gears in the next day or two.

here is the best and only pic of cam gears on one of my models.

I may have thought of the best idea for you, Use watch gears. im sure they can be found in small enough sizes but i have no idea where to get them from. maybe buy a cheapy watch and canniblize it?

[siburnout]
