How's that killer AC system working now? ;)

We're likely talking about about Mil 22759/16 here, although it's pretty much been superseded these days, at least for aircraft use. I have tons of the stuff lying around. In fact I recently rewired the headlights on a car with new relays and 22759. You can get it in larger sizes. I have spools...

I was. They won't snap back. You should turn the cams a few revs after you torque the caps to be sure everything is OK. Many engines have a spec using a torque wrench but I don't think this one does. They should turn smoothly though. Oil the journals and use assembly lube on the lobes. Left over...

Yeah, better be careful. 'Dem babies will take your hand clean off ;).

An oldie but goody. Lacking in current capabilities and only 1,999 counts but otherwise OK for auto use. More for electronic work than cars. I see there's one new in the box on ebay for $11. It'll be fine for basic stuff. Measures temp and conductance too. You could do worse for the price you...

Of course of it's ported (oops, that's sounds snotty ;)) because EGR must not be enabled at idle. Same with the EVAP system.

You're confused. Do exactly what conundrum said. Either loop the TB ports together or cap them off, then cap off the VSV ie; option 2. Or remove it altogether and cap the pipe. Unless you failed to cap the ports and manifold pipe prior to all this your engine problem has nothing to do with the...

Bean usage is good ;). There'll always be some springs that need to be compressed but minimizing the number is best. The reason is the camshaft is a long piece so they want to avoid introducing bending loads in it. Look carefully at the torque sequence for installing them and you'll see...

Lol....

Ugh. Auto makers do not put things on cars that aren't needed. Forget the tech aspects, it increases their costs. Not just in material but in engineering costs. That particular system isn't just some wires, tubing and a valve you know. The code for running it had to be engineered. All that cost...

Well, there's a reason the book say to do it that way and he should. He just doesn't seem to understand why or that it has nothing to do with timing.

The fact it's new means squat. Sure it's the right model? Did a heavy duty clutch get put on? Say, like from a Tundra? Lots of people do that out of ignorance. You need to verify both the coolant T stat and what you have for a clutch. Then do as 935 said: with a hot engine raise rpm and...

Fascinating thread. Remember Dub, "all props are self clearing" ;)

You're killing me with this cam thing. Think about it. Or lay them in there another way and think about it. Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? The valve cover screws are M6 X 30, hex or socket head. I use hex with internal toothed locks.

Any scenario? Other than water vapor being *the* major byproduct of combustion? It shouldn't smell like coolant though. Contrary to popular belief head gasket problems are not that tricky to diagnose. There's a specific set(s) of symptoms and when they all add up it's pretty much a given. As...

They never listen ;). Here's a tip for when you don't want to spring for a combustion test kit: Drain some hot coolant into a glass and shine a light through it. Do it next time you run your car and you'll see what I'm getting at.

He knew it for a fact. Or so he thought ;)

Hmmm, timing won't fix a code 14 but if it's gone it's moot. Hey, at least you got it to start. That's more than I can say for many people here who do head gaskets. The code 12 is CPS related. The 14 is usually igniter related but it can also be CPS related because of how the ECU processes...

Fluke makes a series of test tools called Scopemeters. They also make Graphical Multimeters. As per my earlier post I own both. Very spendy. Better to get a cheap scope off ebay. If you've got lots of money get a laptop based scope like the Pico. You'll need to learn how to use this stuff of...

Likely a problem with the CPS or it's wiring there Sparky. Get rid of the 12 first and the 14 might follow. If not come back. Clear them first and each time you try something.
