| Product FAQ |
| Intake Manifold |
I have seen manifolds that look similar to the
Golden Eagle Mfg. before. Is there any difference? |
 |
Golden Eagle Mfg. is the original designer of the billet
intake manifold. We produced the manifold for numerous other companies before
we put our name on it. Although some other manifolds " look "
the same, all the power is in the design feature you can't see. |
| |
Do all the stock sensors bolt up on the manifold? |
| |
Yes, our manifolds were designed to accept
all the stock sensors. All that needs to be purchased are some NPT ( pipe
) to hose barb fittings for some vacuum lines and the heater core supply.
These items can be purchased for a couple of bucks from a local hardware
store. |
| |
|
| V-TEC Conversion |
I want to use this kit for a turbo oil feed only, can I do
that? |
 |
Yes, this kit can be used as a turbo oil feed only unit.
There are two ports in the unit. One is a 1/8"NPT ( pipe ) thread port and
the other is a large -8AN O-Ring ( boss ) fitting.. We also sell adapters
that change the large port in the distribution block to a 1/8 or 1/4" NPT
( pipe ) thread in case you wish to use an oil pressure sensor sending unit
or an oil temperature sensor. |
| |
What size hose does the VTEC Conversion Kit use for the turbo
oil supply to the head for VTEC? |
| |
We used a -6AN fitting for this. The hose can be bought
through Golden Eagle Mfg. or from a specialty hose and fitting store. |

| Adjustable Cam Gears |
I was wondering what to torque the cam gear adjusting bolts
to? |
 |
When you receive a Golden Eagle Mfg. Adjustru cam gear,
they come with a detailed instruction sheet on how to remove and replace
the cam gears. This instruction sheet also dictates torque specifications
and proper sequences for adjusting and tightening. |
| |
How do you read the lines on the Golden Eagle Mfg. ADJUSTRU
cam gears? |
| |
This is the easiest ways to line up the correct degree
on any cam gear. It is as easy as 1 - 2 - 3. No more squinting and trying
to get the lines that you “think“ are the correct degrees to line
up. The following will help you get your bearings on how to use this scale.
First, you need to set the gear at 0 °( degrees ) by lining up the “
0 “ line on the outer with the “ 0 “ line on the inner. This
is easily done by centering the bolts in the slots. ( see photo below )
|
| |
 |
| |
Notice how the “ 0 “ line on the outer lines
up with the “ 0 “ line on the inner and the bolts are centered
in the slots. Also note that the further most lines on the inner are both
under the 9° mark in both the Advanced and Retard section. This helps
in finding true 0°.
Next, the “ A “ and the “ R “ indicate the Advanced
and Retard section of the cam gear. If you rotate the inner to the right
( clockwise ) you will be in the Retard section and if you rotate the inner
to the left ( counter-clockwise ) you will be in the advanced section. There
is also an arrow that shows the rotation of the gear while the motor is
running.
Lets say you want to set the gear at 4° Advanced. All you will need
to do is rotate the inner to the left ( counter-clockwise ) until a line
matches up with the “ 4° “ mark on the outer. ( see photo
below ) |
| |
 |
| |
This rule applies to any degree adjustment you will need
to make when using these cam gears.
Rule of thumb, 0° is always when a line on the inner lines up with the
“ 0 “ line on the outer and the bolts are centered in the slots.
When adjusting to a certain degree, focus your eye on the degree you desire,
either in Advance or Retard, and rotate the inner until a line matches up
with your desired outer degree mark. |

| Cam Seal |
I have a stock cam seal that is leaking. Will the Golden Eagle
Mfg. help me out? |
 |
Yes, this is exactly why we produced the cam seal. We
are actually the first company to mass produce the seal for other companies.
Now, with our own seal, you can remove and replace it without the worry
of nasty oil leaks. With a triple o-ring design, leaks are a thing of the
past. |

|
| Fuel Rail |
What size hole is in the Golden Eagle Mfg. HI-FLOW fuel rail? |
 |
We opted for an 11/16" ( .6875") hole. This
is the largest hole on the market. We designed the rail for racers to supply
enough fuel for over 1000 H.P. and it works great for a street car. |
| |
What size fittings can I use in my Golden Eagle Mfg. HI-FLOW
fuel rail? |
| |
We opted to use a -8AN O-Ring ( boss ) fitting
in the rail. We also sell fittings that allow you to use -6, -8
and -10 AN hose and fittings for fuel supply. |
| Block Guard |
What is a blockguard and how does it work? |
 |
A block guard is a piece of billet 6061-T6 aluminum that
is cut to fit around the cylinders to brace the sleeves and help protect
against sleeve walk and sleeve cracking. This is a great inexpensive way
to strengthen your bottom end, but if you want to boost more than 15 psi,
we highly suggest sleeving your block with our Goldzilla sleeves. |
| |
|
| Scatter Shield |
What is a scatter shield and why would I need one? |
 |
A scatter shield is a protective piece of steel that covers
the bell housing to protect the driver and spectators from injury in case
of a flywheel or clutch failure. You will need one if you car runs 11.99
or quicker on any NHRA sanctioned track. The scatter shield is also NHRA
certified and approved. |
| |
|
| Head Gasket |
I have a block that is bored out over stock size. Do you have
one that will fit my bore size? |
 |
Yes, we take factory genuine Honda head gaskets and precision
CNC cut them to specific bore sizes. We always have all sizes in stock. |
| |
|
| Vacuum Manifold |
I want to put a turbo on my car. How can the Golden Eagle Mfg.
Vacuum Manifold help me out? |
 |
We designed the vacuum manifold with the turbo guy in
mind. When you run a turbo, there are numerous items that require
a good vacuum source. The manifold has six ( 6 ) 1/8" NPT ( pipe )
thread ports for items such as fuel pressure regulator, blow-off valve,
boost gauge, boost controller, MAP sensor, etc.; and because all your vacuum
sources come from one place, it makes it easier for maintenance and cleanliness,
plus you only need one 1/2" Min. source from the intake manifold plenum
for proper vacuum instead of having to drill and tap up to six ports in
your intake manifold. |
