I'm a bit confused as to what part of the '91 camshafts I need to put into my car. I was first under the impression that I needed the entire camshaft (cam gear at end, and the camshaft itself with lobes and all). However, when trying to buy these '91 cams, I was told by the seller that all the camshafts in every DOHC 240sx are the same and the only thing that is different about the '91s are the gears. Do I need to change just the cam gears or the camshafts as well?

I always thought it was the lobes on the camshafts that determined the durration (240/248 on '91s) not the cam gears. Could someone please straighten me out?
