are these the stock cam gears on a b18a?

thanks

well, pr3 is usually the number the designates 89-91 b16a parts, but not always. The power steering pump and bracket off my b17a is labelled “pr3”. And i’m pretty sure all the b series cam gears are the same… so they might all be labelled “pr3” because those were the first and there was no reason to relabel the rest?

just a question though… why are you looking at pr3 cam gears?

well my cam gears say pr3 on them… i have a b18a, so would i have vtec cam gears on a non vtec engine?

i’m sure it’s not the manufacturer, but somebody who did shoddy work…

my guess would be that they are the stock gears. lots of parts are reused like that. I’m not 100% positive about this, but it seems logical.

Oh yeah, you tell them how it is Johnny…

All b-series cam gears are the same. Whether it is vtec or non-vtec.

the stock b18a ones are much beefier/heavier than that one.

hehehe, yeah, something like that anyway.
The stock one only has 4 legs on it, not 5 and it says up on the arrow of the b-series camgear… It says PR3 on the leg just below that.
