Guest Nicholas Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Great work Lee, are those HKS cam gears a good idea? they have been known to slip due to having only 3 bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Great work Lee, are those HKS cam gears a good idea? they have been known to slip due to having only 3 bolts. Yeah fine have always worked well. Sumo Power ran them on their drag car and I had them on my car. The bolts are decent size. The early ones had an issue with eating belts but these are the new version. I take it these are problems in the US? They aren't very good at doing metric bolts up lol....

Lee P Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 lol, correct it was on the US boards a few years back that I recall the slipping, keep up the good work! Yeah I remember as well, it was some time ago. I've not had any problems with them and can't see why they would cause an issue unless not tightened correctly. Over tightening can be almost as bad.

Callaway Motorsport Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 HKS changed the coating on the teeth, thats where the problem was, the belts tented to skip over the teeth due to slippery coating. The bolts on HKS versions never had any issues (only on the AEM ones as far as i know) The new version cam gears have the duralumin/ Nickel plating coating which has reduced the risk of slipping. sorry to hijack lol. Looking very good though this project. Did you bead blast the gearbox lee? Yeah I remember as well, it was some time ago. I've not had any problems with them and can't see why they would cause an issue unless not tightened correctly. Over tightening can be almost as bad.

Graham1984 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Amazing would be an massive understatement regarding this car and the work that has gone into it so far.

Lee P Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Very impressive Lee. Mind if I ask what the secret is to cleaning the gearbox so well? No big secret just alot of elbow grease and some paint. Ashley has a nice paint technique that give a lovely finish. What type of manifold is that lee ? ..looks amazing too bud Its based around the HKS T51 V Band manifold with slight modifications That's an amazing project Lee ... keep up the good work. Thank you HKS changed the coating on the teeth, thats where the problem was, the belts tented to skip over the teeth due to slippery coating. The bolts on HKS versions never had any issues (only on the AEM ones as far as i know) The new version cam gears have the duralumin/ Nickel plating coating which has reduced the risk of slipping. sorry to hijack lol. Looking very good though this project. Did you bead blast the gearbox lee? That's exactly right, thanks No we didn't blast the gearbox, was wire wheels and brushes mainly Amazing would be an massive understatement regarding this car and the work that has gone into it so far.
