B202 Indexing Adjustable Cam Sprockets - $300 / pair

[DrewP]

David made a round of these last year, and is almost done with another run if anyone is interested.

$300 per pair, shipped, comes with a few extra fasters and an aligning tool.

I believe these will also let you install 'T5' cams for later SAABs (little more lift, little longer duration, little more overlap) that everyone with the newer cars goes ape over, going to double check that myself for sure.

These will fit any 16V B202 / B212 / pre-'93 B234.

Adjustment is from -10 camshaft degrees to +10 camshaft degrees for each cam.

6061-T6 hubs, 10.9 fasteners.

This will actually let you get the timing of the cams zeroed after machine work, or to compensate for worn guides and drive gears or stretched chain.

The indexing holes are machined in 'vernier' offset style, so you can set one-degreen increments with an aligning pin, then tighen the hubs to hold the exact offset you want.

Drool!

I'd stop for a Lotto ticket tonight, but it's kinda futile. My luck sucks.

Lady Godiva was riding side-saddle,.... and I was on the wrong side of the street!

That joke was faaarrrr too sophisticated for this forum, but that's exactly why I love it.

I'd also be willing to take payments from upstanding gentle-people who frequent this forum and will actually be able to use awesome things that other cool people make.

How are stripe kits coming along?

I was composing an update to that thread, but kept getting interrupted by my job at work today. Hope to finish that update this week.

I'm interested in a set. They'd work with T5 cams on a T5 head right?

Im certainly interested in a set. Once my racing season is over (october) I will decide what I can afford to change for next year, these will be on the list of potential parts purchases.

Correct. The offset difference on the '94+ sprockets is because of the balance shaft chain.

When you put a T5 or T7 head on a C900 block, you use the C900 cam sprockets.

Unless I am backwards, but I don't think I am. I will probably throw a T7 head on a junk block just to double check, but that was the whole point of us doing this anyway.

You're right. I am using c900 sprockets (and coolant temp sensor) on my '96 head on B2x2 block.

The first batch is done, I've P/M'd a few people already who expressed interest, anyone else who wants a set let me know.

I will have photos of the finished ones this evening or tomorrow morning when David drops them off.

You should hang a pair of those on a wall!
A guy I work with is a hobbyist photographer and he likes to get into old abandoned buildings and take pictures (it's called "Urban Exploration"). He has some really nice shots of huge old rusty gears. One sort of reminds me of this (except the rust part)

Thanks!


I've actually done that with a friend a few times. We climbed up into the old grain processing silos that used to be on the campus of the U of MN a few years ago before they tore it down. It had been vacant for something like 25 years already and everything was rusted solid.

We got into one of the silos (one of the BIG ones, like 75-80 feet across), and there was a control cable hanging down from the center of the roof, and a big depression in the middle. You could grab the cable, and run along the edge of the catwalk and jump up and swing all the way around the side of the silo.

....All this in pitch black of course....


Scariest thing I think I've ever done, by far.

3 sets sold, still have 3 more before we have to order more stock for another run, let me know.
