Camshaft

	Photo showing the old parts and new parts together. Top left are the inner valve springs, new on left, old on right, note that the new spring is taller and uses slightly thicker coils. Middle Top is the outer springs, old on left, new on right, no real difference that I can see or feel. Top Right are the camshafts, old on left, new on right, more detailed photos below. On the bottom are the spring retainers, old on left, new titanium on right, the titanium pieces are way lighter than the stock pieces even though they are larger and provide a better seating surface for the top of the springs.
	Close up of the spring retainers and the inner springs. Old pieces on the left, new on the right. The springs are from Takegawa Special Parts, they sell a set of springs which includes two inners and two outers. The Takegawa outer springs seem to be identical to the stock items to the naked eye while the inner springs seen here are noticeable more heavy duty. I suspect that most of the benefits of the spring kit are due to this inner spring. The titanium retainers are expensive but are of excellent quality and amazingly light compared to stock.
	Side by side photo of the old camshaft on the left and the new Takegawa "Fast Street" cam on the right. Overall quality of the Takegawa piece is better than stock. Here you can see the difference in the cam lobe profiles.
	Another view of the camshafts, old on left, new on right. Notice the larger oiling holes in the Takegawa cam. Oiling holes are nicely radiused compared to stock cam. Takegawa also seems to place the oiling holes in a location on the lobe where the rocker arm is under the least amount of pressure where Honda seems to place them in a straight row probably because it is easier to manufacture this way.
	Yet another view of the camshafts, old on left, new on right. Once again notice the larger oiling hole, this time in the bearing surface on the driven end of the camshaft. Spiral oil channels are both deeper and wider than the stock cam. Overall finish of the bearing surfaces and lobes is better than a new stock cam.
