ah I gotcha so just replace the ones that are out of spec and be done with it

Well I rather get them all done so everything operates relatively the same if that makes any sense. Like I rather replace them all so every valve opens and closes the same instead of the more worn shims don't open the valves as much as the new ones. Know where I can order the shims online or is...

I remember reading that thread too how can I add a little more thickness to the new shims or do I tell them at the dealer to get shims that are XX mm thicker? Also should I just go ahead and replace all the shims even if they are in spec?

True, I was hoping it wouldn't matter in this case since I am just replacing the shims but I'll get it re-timed afterwards and buy a torque wrench for the caps but am I right with my idea of checking clearances and if they are out of spec I just get new ones from the dealer and drop them in...

So my valve tick is quite loud now I am noticing it more ever since I got my cat back installed, no more open down pipe lol. From what I have gathered I check clearances with a feeler gauge with the cam lobes pointing straight up and if they are out of spec I pop them out with a screwdriver and...

Sorry it was set to private lol try it now. I am pretty sure it's valve tick it's coming right from the valve cover area but I can get a stethoscope and do some more accurate listening.

Well I could not hear the ticking noise when I was revving my car today except for the valve tick, it's weird I can hear it in the car and it sounds like it's coming from the engine bay but I can't hear it from revving it. Maybe it is just my valves needing adjustment. I finally got to making a...

I can hear a ticking noise as I rev if I listen carefully, I guess I have an exhaust leak. Oh joy, time to go hunting to make sure. She just can't let me enjoy her for more than a few months without any issues.

It's a blitz dual SBC a friend of mine sold it to me for 80 bucks because it came with a turbo timer that he bought

Lol it is nice to be able to accurately adjust boost on the fly and have different profiles

I think that was the boost controller cutting it because I turned up the boost but forgot to adjust the warning level on the controller so it probably cut it a little bit. Now that you mention that it probably can make even more power when I adjust that warning level so it doesn't cut boost

I was thinking the same but they have a crazy exhaust fan setup it felt like there was a constant strong wind in the shop so it got some cold air but not as much as moving air. They just did some quick runs for entertainment otherwise they would have fans up front.

Went to a meet at a friend's shop and they decided to do some free dyno pulls and have a little price is right type contest on who can guess the HP numbers. I was one of the few that went up for a run and was a little disappointed that I wasn't as close to 300hp as I thought but overall very...

The cap is still on I will check to make sure it's properly on lol.

Will do some more digging

I have always wondered what that sensor was. Thanks.

I have read the 2 related threads in this section about this but their heaters do not work at all where mine does but only after I set it to 83 degrees. I was hoping you guys could help guide me on resolving this issue so I can actually adjust my temperature instead of being frozen into an ice...

happen to know the size? If it helps the socket size I needed was a 14mm.

Broke both bolts that held the muffler to the midpipe on my "new" exhaust, they were really seized up. Time to get some new bolts maybe galvanized.

I just got home and my brother said, "Your exhaust is in the garage." I told him if he is fucking with me I will punch him until my hand breaks then use my other hand. I went down and saw the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
