CA20E cam will fit CA18NS??
« on: Mar 22, 2006, 11:47AM »
I notice that the valve clearance is the same.....both ca20e and ca18ns are single cam 8valves
But I want to be sure.....
Maybe someone here knows about it.....both engines looks very very similiar
If  the cam fit.....I will go for a performance cam

i dont see why they wouldnt... both engines are essentially the same.
I'm sick of my knob going all floppy and loose in my hand  :P

is there some issue that the FWD cam and the RWD drive cams are incompatible?
I'm so far behind at work, I'm almost retro!

fwd and rwd cams are the same. you will notice the gear near the front end of the cam on fwds, this is to drive the distributer on the rwd
