    info for adjusting cam gear AEM

    It varies motor to motor depending on if the block or head have been machined, valve clearance and so on. The only way to know for sure is to adjust then run it on the dyno then adjust again and so on.

    custom oil pan

    Good point! a few race motors have been lost in the past through a stuck swinging pickup. Ditto on swinging gates. Simple labyrinths work well enough with nothing to fail.

    Head break-in??

    7M's you usually add some lash ie: if you want 10 thou you set the new head to 13 thou and it will close down to 10. If you set 10 it will close down to 7.

    Turbo Question

    Some Compressor maps list the shaft rpm as well but not many! Small turbos can hit 250,000+ rpm larger T04 types can see 100,000+. Not sure if this has changed with the DBB units in use these days.

    pistons and valves?

    Sponsored: That sounds a bit wrong to me.... You DON'T Adjust oil clearance by changing the Rod bores. There is a set dimension to get the bearing crush needed then you change the bearing shells or crank journal size for Oil clearances.

    Diagnosing Rod Knock

    A lot less juice is required to Induction Harden a cam compared to a Crank, dunno what the end costs would be but I'd imagine on that scale Niteriding would be the cheaper alternative and car companys are all for saving a $. (Multiplied by a year of production this can be a LOT of $$$ ;) )...

    pistons and valves?

    My Pauter's were 100% perfect out of the box when they were inspected! It's a pity about the distance I have a brand new set of Genuine GTE pistons here I won't be using.

    Diagnosing Rod Knock

    Induction depends on how much Juice they give it so cost becomes a factor Niteriding is much cheaper. Pretty sure after 2nd US you're down to the soft and if it's niterided you would be after 1st US :( Someone posted awhile back in one of these discussions that Toyota don't recommend going...
