Possibly? I know a city turbo cam fits in EL accord motors, so would possibly fit in older civic motors too.

If you really need one either try strong for honda http://www.stronghonda.co.nz or Parts Guru +64 6 758 0339, and ask to speak to Justin.

checking part numbers against what? N/A city will have its own cam grind, hell even the auto and manual ones got different grinds.

I found this part number, got it from Honda here in Sydney
14110PE8600, this is for a manual Honda City
I did a search and found a Russian Honda part number website lol

Crazy, if they actually have it in stock that would be cool. It wouldn't be unreasonable as europe did get cities as 'Jazz's.

Usually that part number would be written 14110-PE8-600, PE8 must be the internal Honda code for that city.

My camshaft has PE8 on it.
Now I need to learn Russian to ask/confirm they have it in stock, the price conversion adds up to $17 Australian, so this makes me skeptical on what that website is selling as this sounds way too cheap, but then it could be right??
Any ideas how to communicate with them?

Hey guys, I have been in contact with Wade cams in Victoria and they are making up a new cam for me out of a brand new blank billet. $185 + 56 to re-surface all my rockers. Not too bad since wreckers wanted $185 for second hand camshaft
I believe this blank is an EK1 which apparently is similar as the ER1 (which is the City camshaft)

Hey guys, recieved the camshaft and it looks great, its all in but i didnt have enough time to adjust the rockers so tomorrow i will finish it off and start it up.
I got the rocker repaired and re-surfaced but two were too far gone so i bought a second hand set of rockers which were realy good.
I acid diped the cam caps and the alloy looks like new.
The tube where the rockers pivot were blocked with old burnt oil, this engine was not looked after.
Old and new

Sorry I havnt posted earlier, but the car is running well, the camshaft is a success.
So if you need one give Wade cashaft a call, they can grind you up any rofile you need.
They are in Victoria.

Slightly more aggressive. More like a little more of a performance grind, I wanted fuel economy really. My City is not turbo so there is no real performance about it really lol
