Re: b16a Cams
You can just replace the cam...the cam gear comes off. As for the type of cam, what is your intent with the car....other mods, etc...

Re: b16a Cams
i think the terminology is getting confusing?
you have....cam gear. The gear that the timing belt goes over that turns the cam.
Camshaft...the lobed rod attached to the cam gear.
Replacing the camshaft is usually a bit involved. If you replace the cam gears with adjustable ones you will be able to mildy retard/advance the cam timing, yielding a slight power gain if you do it right.
