Short Cam Honda Civic
 

Been looking for second car...Found, I think a pretty good deal on
one...it's a 2005 Honda Civic 5 speed with 1000 miles on it...The owner lost
his job when his company folded. He's asking $14k for it or may haggle down
a bit(?)...Question...It has a short cam in it...is this good? bad?..what?
Will it effect gas mileage?The stats show the 2005 get city 38 mpg highway
44mpg...does this ring true? Thanks! Liz

The engine number is the number that is stamped directly onto the engine
block--it's located on the front of the engine. Write down the number and
repost it.

In this case--you are right. I have a book that has the engine numbers of
lots of Honda vehicles and details about each engine. I checked the book
only after I made the post and realized that the 2005 Honda vehicles are
NOT included in the book so even the person had told me the engine
number--it would not have helped me provide info. that would solve the
problem.

I think the problem might be the that others are as much in the dark about
what a "short cam" is as I am. I know about "hot" and "mild" cams, but
"short"...?

Re: Short Cam Honda Civic..Feedback PLEASE
 

That's one of my questions...What is a short cam? I would assume, as the
owner planned on making this car a performance or race type car that a short
cam has something to do with that...Can't ask the owner about it...as he's
off looking for another job, out of town and the wife is clueless on what it
means...The dealership is as per a dealership...No help.... Oh, well...:-)

Maybe a short RAM??

meaning a short,low restriction air intake,a aluminum pipe with a conical
air filter on the end,easily visible in the engine compartment.

It probably would not affect gas mileage if you do not go harder on the gas
pedal.
