a6 cam on a b7 head debate quest.

- Thu Jan 13, 2011 7:16 am #232983 Hey guys I need ur guys honest opinion me and a friend of mine are arguing about the A6 cam on a b7 head. So were both arguing about how he needs a adjustment. Cam gear or a y7 /y8 cam gear. He insist that he doesn't need to, he also said that on another forum even said that u don't need to and that you can use the b7 cam gear but it will be 1/2 tooth off...I don't if that's 1/2 tooth off retarted or advance....so anybody with good knowledge about this swap please chip in...

fortunatley, y7/y8/y5 cam gears are a half tooth advanced.
thus restoring balance in the world, the yin and the yang, etc

- Fri Jan 14, 2011 9:13 pm #233312 how would you set the ignition timing? (this is a prerequisite for not running like ass)
cam timing is critical, ignition timing can be played with.

- Sun Jan 16, 2011 10:13 pm #233664 yes he does

his car will run like shit
like d-mon said, cam timing and ignition time are diff
and are very important when it comes to how well a motor will run

let ur friend to use the y7/y8 cam gear or a adjustable one
if he says he isnt, then you can laugh in his face when his car runs like crap 8)
