Post DSM 1/2g Cam gears on evo 8??? marks r in different locations

Just needed to know if the 1/2g cams gears will fit on an Evo 8 head??? Well I know they fit on the cams, but the timiing marks on the gears are in different locations. For timing, the 1/2g marks point to each other, and on the Evo's both marks line up with the valve cover... I hope someone can help......

You might be able to use them but to be honest if the cam gears were interchangeable they would sell one for all 4g63's and not 1g/2g and then the evo.

they all have the same tooth count, but the timing marks themselves are different. I sold my HKS gears, and I have some stock 1/2g ones, and want to use these instead of buy stock evo ones.....

The gears would physically work, yes. But you'd have to make your own timing marks which may be a PITA. As you stated, the timing marks are lined up and different locations on the dsm vs. evo.

If you look at a set of Fidanza cam gears, they are interchangeable from DSM and EVO, but the EVO cam locating dowel is positioned about 1/4 turn left of the DSM locating hole.

As I stated above, Fidanza does sell a 4g63 cam gear that fits both 1g/2g and Evo's. The gears have a separate cam locating dowel hole for the Evo and its marked Evo.

Here's one of my pics for reference.

All I could recommend is having both cam gears and measuring and marking the difference. People have done similar things before with using one 4g63 gear and one 4g64 gear when building a 2.4l.

Its up to you, but overall imo its probably easier to pick up a set of stock evo gears or a set of Fidanza's.
