Honda B/D/F/H Series Cam Gear Bolt 90032-ZW5-003

Honda B/D/F/H Series Cam Gear Bolt - 90032-ZW5-003

Doing a timing belt job or head gasket on your B, D, F, or H series Honda and you need cam gear bolts? This is the OEM bolt that secures your cam gear to your camshaft. Part number 90032-ZW5-003. It threads into the end of your cam and clamps the cam gear down tight. Sure, you could probably find some random bolt in your toolbox that threads in and kinda works. But is it the right length? Right thread pitch? Right grade? Wrong bolt means your cam gear's not secured properly and your valve timing can slip. Don't guess. Use the OEM bolt and know your cam gears are torqued down right.

Here's Why the Right Bolt Matters

Cam gear bolts hold your cam gears to your camshafts. If the bolt's too short, you don't get enough thread engagement and it can back out. If it's too long, it bottoms out before the cam gear's clamped tight. Wrong thread pitch and you're stripping threads in your aluminum camshaft. Wrong grade steel and the bolt can stretch or break under load. Your cam gear slips even one tooth and your valve timing's off. Your engine runs like crap or it doesn't run at all. If the gear slips multiple teeth, your valves hit your pistons and you're rebuilding your head. The OEM bolt's the right length, right pitch, right grade. It's designed specifically for this application. Don't risk bent valves on a mystery bolt from the parts bin.

Sold Individually, Most Engines Need Two

This bolt's sold individually. B series non-VTEC, F series, and H series engines have two camshafts (intake and exhaust), so you need two bolts. D series engines only have one camshaft, so you need one bolt. If you're doing a timing belt on an Integra LS or an Accord with an F series motor, order two. If you're working on a Civic with a D series, order one. Check how many cams your engine has and order accordingly.

Replace Them During Timing Belt Jobs

When you're doing a timing belt replacement, head gasket, or any job where you're pulling your cam gears, it's smart to replace these bolts. They're cheap and they're critical for keeping your valve timing correct. You're already buying a timing belt, tensioner, and water pump. Throw in fresh cam gear bolts and know everything's right. Don't reuse a bolt that's been torqued down for 100k+ miles and hope it's still good. Fresh bolts are cheap insurance on an expensive timing job.

Note: Order the correct quantity for your engine. B series non-VTEC, F series, and H series have two cams and need two bolts. D series has one cam and needs one bolt. When you're installing them, torque them to spec (usually around 27-33 ft-lbs depending on engine, check your service manual). Use a torque wrench. If you over-torque them, you'll strip the threads in your aluminum camshaft. If you under-torque them, your cam gear can slip. Apply a drop of engine oil to the threads before installation for accurate torque reading. If you're doing a timing belt job, replace the belt, tensioner, water pump, cam seals, and these cam gear bolts all at once. Don't mix old and new parts. Your timing system works as a complete unit.
