my 272/260 on the LS has a very light lope to it. But I heard that the 272/272 beats the ground!

I have a spare y7 cam/head that i plan on using in another motor just for fun

[bigdaddyvtec]

Wat aboot having them rip off some skank2 PRO1s for the boat anchor???

[chris]

I know they were doing some b series vtec copies but had some issues this was a couple years ago.

Never hurts to call the issue with going big is running out of base circle on the cam, you can only cram so much lift/dur "inside" the stock lobe.

[chris]

I saw with my own eyes a set of flat b series skunk copies delta did years ago. Those pro cams are fuckin huge.

i love being done with school 

gotta stay organized all the bearings will be recycled back into the motor they look minty fresh



should I keep going deeper with the notch? I used a pice of 3/4 tape to mark out the width then i went about 1/4 inch up into the sleve and 1/4 back into the block and connected

[speedjunky01]

Help a nig out notch deep enough? Really don't want to reassemble just to see if it is tell me if you think I should take more out

I have had success with just torquing them down.  :yes:

[speedjunky01]

well finally got a vale spring compressor got the intake side done





should be good until 8000rpm if power doesnt start falling off

ill finish it all up after some lunch

[speedjunky01]

 im having an issue with the rocker assembly such a pain in the ass and it wont set down flat over the cam  any tips on installing it? im fallowing the helms manual

cam at TDC, all the adjusters loose, make sure non of the rockers are binding(this is where vtec SUCKS lol) and it wont go down over the cam, some of the rockers are also suer tight over the valve spring. I emailed crower to see if there is a diff between in/ex springs

[92CXyD]

Had similar issues but I just got all the cam cap bolts in and slowly tighten down from center out.

One turn at a time.

But it worked, I'm using the same springs w/ a stock y8 cam ATM. ;D

[speedjunky01]

yeah the helms says that i should do it one turn at a time, the thing that worries me is that once of the rockers is sooooooo tight on top of the spring even with the adjustment bolt turned all the way out

im gonna hop out and try it again

[92CXyD]

Yeah watch the valve end of the rockers so they do not get caught on the edge of the valve stem.

If you do it one at turn a time you just look the valve stems and see when the rocker tips get stuck. ;D

[speedjunky01]

well i got the rocker assembly on no problem, just worked noce and slow and it went on but for some reason the cam will NOT turn over im trying to get it so i can adjust the valves.

I think the royal purple lube is just to freaking sticky and its just not letting it spin easy at all.

92cxyd good tip worked great

[speedjunky01]

so im gonna hope to have the rings gaped tonight

did some math from 1st ring:
.006 x 3.00 = .018

2nd Ring:
.0065 x 3.00 = .0195

oil rails between .010 - .050

all from Laskey racing

this is for boost only

W/ my 75.5mm vitara I gapped mine @ 0.018" (1st) & 0.020" (2nd) and the oil rails had plenty gap  ;D :yes:

[speedjunky01]

im just doing them straight .019 a .001 isnt gonna b the end of the world

also you really helped me out last time with the tip and the rockers came down great but im still having trouble getting some of the rockers being stuck down i think the royal purple is to sticky! the cam wont rotate to save my life more then 5-10*

[ApexSilver06MR]

isnt that a delta cam?  i just installed a crower 2 and i didnt have anyh problems with it. 

[speedjunky01]

notched up for some room, went a little deeper then i needed but better safe then sorry LOL


just gonna wash it really well tomorrow if im not to tired (work in 4 hrs ) and put the block together


thants it for now

[speedjunky01]

about to go put the rods in just want to confirm how to install without a stretch gauge the FJT rods with ARP bolts

43ftlb, with ARP lube.

45ftlb with 10w30 engine oil.


tq then loosen 3 times then TQ one final time any confirmation on this?

[speedjunky01]

  :yes: .011 p2w SON LMAO

also checked the "recycled" stock bearings all spec out between .001 and .0015

just have to find a damn 10x1.25 tap none of the local stores have ANY pissed all of the ARP's went in smooth minus one

hope to have it in this weekend on a basemap for break in, then the boost wil go to NOG asap

[speedjunky01]

ok so did some more work today

got the head TQ down, threw the IM on, ported the oil pump, got the oil pan re-welded just in case haha, put the oil temp sender on, started working on making the snail fit

before porting:

a nice 90 turn should help flow

she looks so tight needs loosening
 
after

forgot to get a before sorry but was all just sharp 90* shit

looks rougher then it is but will be better then the sharp corner

opened up!


oil temp location fluxcore OWNS ALL

the turbo would hit the oil dip stick so what to do besides fuckiing use a cut off wheel and a flapper wheeel to clearance that BITCH

shocker your ass china snail!

got the oil warmer on now to figure out how the hell i should plumb it, any tips?

[92CXyD]

I ran one hose that goes to the heater first to the oil cooler/heater then to the heater core.

Worked for me. ;D

Or look at the hose routing for the VX model and use their routing.

wouldnt that mean it would only be warming/cooling if the heat was on?

ill have to flip through the helms on redpepperracing.com but the pics are fucking HUGE so its a pain to look at

also got this off a b18 or some shit not a VX
