I don't know if they are tty for sure. But I would never re-use head bolts.. buy factory bolts if anything, but I wouldn't re-use head bolts.

Well with the ignition timing at 10° BTDC, and the cam timing set at 0, the car runs extremely bad. I looked down into the oil filler hole, with the cam in the factory marking spots, but the lobe isn't straight up like it should b. Its retarded about 3 teeth or so.. if I advance the cam 3 teeth...

So I set my ignition timing @ 10° BTDC, and my cams/ crank at 0. Still won't run right. When I look down into my oil filler hole, with my intake cam at its timing mark on the factory gears, the top of my cam lobe is barely visible. If I turn it clock wise about 3 teeth, then its straight up...

The middle one, right where the old cams were, in the same spots. Cus the cam lobes are in the same orientation. I've double checked my timing many times. I do know now that its supposed to b 10 degrees btdc, didn't know that before. I know with my factory gears that my cams are both a half...

Valve lash is all in spec. When I was originally checking for tdc, I used a long 3/8 extension in the number one plug hole. When it reached max upward travel, my balancer was at 0 on the timing cover. So I think its correct. I got some insight on another section of the forum, hopefully that will...

Thanks for the usefull info Dan, I should have known that.. lol. I followed tsrm to the t when I set my cps. It is at lower engine rpms that it runs crappy. Once it gets past 2500 its clean all the way to 4000rpms (not gunna rev out a fresh top end rebuild). Ill try more today, and see where...

I asked this question in a different thread on the site but it seems more fitting here. I can't get my car to run right no matter what I do. Its set at 0 i, 0 E, and the cps is set to factory spec. I hit it with a timing light, and it is at zero, but it won't idle, and it breaks up...

So the problems persist.. I got a timing light, and adjusted the cps so its at 0 tdc. Factory cam gears back in set at 0. And the car still runs, just as poorly as the video.. I'm really at a loss.. the cps is set with the little drill hole at the notch, and everything is in factory alignment...

Everything is intact. When I put the car away, the iac was fine.

If I can get my hands on a timing light tomorrow morning ill definitely give that a shot. Maybe it is off and I'm just not seeing it. Everyone makes mistakes here and there, I am human lol. So the possibility is there.

Set and reset the cps about 3 Times now.. setting it per tsrm. Ill put the factory gears on and see what happens.. I've only tried setting it on the obx gears.. not the stockys.. Yeah 7M4EVR, its seems like its at the top on the intake side.. I've never had such a hard time timing an engine...

crank at top dead, set at the zero mark... cams directly centered with the cam cover marks... turned over by hand to insure everything is lined up.. im not an idiot...

yeah. all clearances are within factory spec.

I second that..^... more air (about 25% more air with the lex afm) with stock fuel injectors.... lean conditions makes the combustion chamber gasses hotter... gunna end up with a bhg sooner or later, seeing as the back 2 cyl run hotter anyways... or worse.. id put the factory afm back in, and...

I don't have a wideband at the moment... ik, not good.. lol. I can tell that its running a hair on the rich side at idle. its a very light black smoke, its barely noticeable unless your really trying to see it. if I degree the cams with my gears set at 12+ on the exhaust and 8- on the intake it...

I found a pretty severe vacuum leak, but the rough running still persist. no matter how I degree the cams I cant get it to smooth out below 2,500rpms.. im stumped. im almost thinking about putting my factory cam gears back in, and seeing if there is a difference.. any ideas anyone?

turbo is disconnected from the downpipe, wastegate is open as well. that's why its so loud.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IHhGE10cBg there's a link for the video. hopefully that helps a little bit.

So today is the first day that I've turned the key on my project since last year. It didn't start very easy, so I figured my ignition timing was off, yep, it was. So then it fired up but its running really rough, lumpy idle like its na and cammed to the gills.. Anyways my mods are, Lex/550...

So a good friend of mine is the heart and soul behind this meet. It happens every first Friday of the month, depending on weather if anyone's close enough and wants to come out for a good time. Trying to get the word out there a bit. I usually attend them all, but I didn't make last night's...
