i think i see the light, shave the cap ENDS (where they meet with the head), not the actual bore it self? got it now, that could have been very bad....

read it and plan on using it. However if removing material from the cam saddles, wouldnt that increase the clearances? im just not understanding how you can decrease clearances with removing material.:1zhelp: is it how the cam cap wears? does it wear out of round and by lapping your shaving...

whoops, i measured with the big end of the cam lobe at an angle to the lifte/shim instead of directly across from it.... most of them are in the .018 inch range im confused. do i need to shim between the cam and the head when i plasitgauge? or is removing the lifters and measuring after...

nice, any pics?

speculating what it COULD have been is pointless, your going to encounter many small issues like this once you put the motor back in and double check all your connections and hoses and stuff. not worth the effort at this point unless you want to double check all your sensors with a multimeter...

good point jdub, never considered that. The shims will be "dropped" so they are in the .011-.012 range. Ij informed they will burn the valve seats. lucky me compressions is still the same and i rarely beat on the car... ive been informed tight clearances burn valve seats, bit loose with more...

OUCH was the timing plate decked with the block? never heard of one going south this fast unless the machine work was bust or some failure in the tq sequence....

if its in the pcv lines, let the oil sit over night and drain it, the "snot" should be the first thing coming out or shortly after that. but there are other ways to verify bhg. IIRC supracentral said if you can see it in the oil, its way beyond what the bearings can handle as far as coolant...

My exhaust side camshaft is noisy, as in diesel sounding and loud. Just checked the clearances of the shims. A few were at .007 " and the greatest clearance was .009, would this cause the racket im hearing? This is border line per tsrm specs, is it worth it to get the shims closer to the...

Thats good to hear then, tap into ks signal wire and run it into the esc so the gauge has a signal? seems too simple lol...

coolant id suspect

IIRC, the knock lights can be quiet picky and difficult to setup. If you knew what frequency the ecu looks for to determine knock that would help although its going to be a lot of trial and error to get it to be accurate. IJ?

i dont see power goals, what are they mr. Y?

my understanding is -8an is good for dd and street use, race use: -10an.

like jdub said but read the last bit ;) makes me really want to throw mine on the dyno as im running a very similar setup as the op...

:yelrotflm

With out the engine IN the car i wouldnt be concerned with this right now.

what would you consider "high" mileage? low mileage on these now a days is what, 90,000 miles?

wtf
