it should pass. you time them by the alignment pins, not the cam wheels. one cam will appear to be one tooth off, but that is correct.

Might pass but itll run worse than the stock cams would. We tried this with Johns crx about a year or so ago. ZC cams arent designed to run in the d16a1 head.

ok well, on sonneys page he didnt use it but this is my train of thought that even if u time the ZC cam shafts correctly and jus leave the the tooth on timing cam off one tooth. why wouldnt it be able to wrk that way.

Well, i maybe it depends on what ZC cams you have. I have browntop ZC cams in my d16a1, and it runs very well.

If it helps, I have the whole ZC in my car and it got BETTER emissions than the old Ew which also passed. I would assume if the rest of the motor is fine you shan't have any problems.
