i know i am not in this forum very often so i dont know if this has been discussed recently. i just posted in the sticky in the ka forum on cam alignment.
DONT GO BY THE COLORED PAINT ON THE CAMS
it means nothing. i just rebuilt two heads with opposite paint schemes on the cams.
important camshaft info for ka24de's

Re:
Glad this was brought to my attention because I would have probably just wasted a motor because I trust paint to much some times and my gut feeling would have been the same thing to trust the paint, thanks for the info.Peace,Pat

Re: (WDRacing)
i swear i just pulled apart two s13 heads with opposite color schemes. the only way i can see this is if the head had s14 cams or if the colors are less than accurate.

note that they were both 91 s13s as well.
Re: (:: orion ::)
Can anyone confirm this?I mixed up my cams, and one matches what he described above, as the intake.Just to be sure before I do anything if anyone can verify this...:: orion :: wrote:The paint means something...
1st, identify the intake cam...look at the front of the cam...it's the one with the dowel pin @ 12o'clock when the 1st pair of lobes is pointing straight up.
S13 intake is green, exhaust is orange.
S14 is opposite (intake is orange, exhaust is green).
FWIW...

Re: (VanNelson)
Drill a hole in the bolt...then use a extract tool has reversed threads to catch on the bolt.
Re: (VanNelson)
what gives, that happened to me, but it was 1 of the bolts on the last exhaust cap, this was last saturday, and i tried those "easyouts" that didn't work for me so am gonna have to try drillin it out and puttin a helicoil.......VanNelson wrote:Bah! I went and put them in (in the above specified order) and began to torque all the bolts, when the #1 bolt snapped off . Now im afraid they'll all do that. Does anybody know where I can get a new set? (And how to get the old one out)?
hope it works for ya though vannelson, as its really not that easy to drill out the hole without a steady hand.
Re: (Florida240sx)
Thanks - brilliant idea! This was, by the way, on the exhaust cam. I went to tighten the bolts on the intake, and got them all to 2nm's, then started to get them on to 10nm's, and the bolt felt like it was just turning, and not getting tighter, so I gave up for now. Thing probably broke, but I don't want to know right now...Florida240sx wrote:Drill a hole in the bolt...then use a extract tool has reversed threads to catch on the bolt.
