Thats my expression right now. I tried a wasther for a cam gear; too big, so i scratch built my own. They fit, but not perfect. To access the cam gears, i had to take the top cover off (i had orgionally put some pieces of plastic under it to make it taller [this was before i decided to creat it turbo. But with the one side open, you could see the pieces of plastic, so i took them out. When i went to glue my top cover back on, it didnt clear the intake hose so.. i tried to bend the hose in a U shape, and it broke. DAM|\| IT TO H311! (Yes, i did say a few choice words when it broke) then the air cleaner, turbo, intercooler and intercooler piping ALL fell off... i finally got it together, but you cant even see the cam gears anyway AH!! ALL THAT HARD WORK FOR NOTHING!

Go to a hardware store and they'll have some little gear looking thingies that are about the same size as washers, but the problem is that they're too thin, so you stack a couple up, and you have yourself some cam gears! I hope this has helped.

I'm not sure if this is what integra818 meant, but it got me thinking. They do have small little washers at hardware stores that have cogs around the edge. I'm not totally sure what they're used for, but they'd have lots of different sizes. It might just do the trick...

it's possible that you may be referring to lock washers at the hardware store. however, i think they'll be too thin and the teeth would look out of proportion. just my 2 cents.

I have to agree with you, the styrene is working great for me! besides in real life when the camgears are exposed you don't see that much of the teeth since the timing belt is covering them. This makes it easier to pass of the styrene as cam gears, just my .02cents
