| Haha yeah for sure man, going to be a beast. I'll probably take you up on that offer for helping me make sure its timed right with the new cams. Its all ripped apart as of now, worked on it all day. Oh and so you know, you do not need to remove the upper oil pan to get the rear timing cover off, just the water pump. but im pretty sure you need to for the oil pump it looks like. the rear head gasket looks like is seeping a bit so im not sure if i want to pull the heads and replace it or not yet lol. Is barely anything but might aswell do it once and not have to think about it again
Cams should be here Friday or Sat I believe. Headers sometime end of next week I hope So I can have it put back together next weekend. Still need to get it tuned afterwards and want to go to Automotion on the weekend of the 21st. but I guess i'll see what happens. |

Noticed low oil pressure a week and a half ago, was barely over 0psi on the gauge at idle and used to sit at 20-25psi. so i pulled the pan and found a piece of gasket in the pan from the rear timing cover. pulled the motor and ripped it apart and found the cause of it, just gotta wait for the cams i ordered to get here and headers then ill put it back together with a new rear timing cover and get it back in the car. started a thread on NC forums if you care to look, shows some pics and explains it better.

Got the oil pump on today, removed the stock cams/lifters. Need to order a few more mics seals and should be ready to go back together. You busy next Sat late morn/early afternoon to help me time this beast haha? Another question is I assume you guys have a valve spring compressor at the shop that will work with the heads cause the ones we have wont work and neither will the ones from autozone lol. |
