Valvetrain noise after cam swap

[geldartb]

i upped the idle a little bit more and fixed the ifr for the injectors so all i need to do is flash the bin and she should be good.

ill swap the tps and give that a try, was thinking something like that line too, don't remember if it was the new one i got with the motor or the one i have been using all along.

for the test drive around the block i went on it drove good except for the part of me forgetting about the rust on the rotors and well the car didnt want to stop right away.

[geldartb]

ill be getting a video tomorrow afternoon. gotta get stickers for both cars and ill prob be bringing the GA home and put some miles on it to break this thing in and actually drive it before winter hits and get to the track hopefully before it closes.

How is it sounding now? I'm hoping it's all fine and dandy now. You have been working on this beast forever (it seems like).

[geldartb]

yeah tell me about it. i think ive been screwing with this aspect of it since march or april.

yeah it was fine except for the fueling. still had the noise but i havent driven it much so it didnt get much of a chance to work itslef out.

now its running like shit and has crap for power. i changed the tps and bought the cheap $2 a plug ac delcos to try. it either fouled the plugs or a coil-pack took a shit, cause its got a brand new ac delco o2 sensor.

the nasty thunderstorms were rolling in so i kinda said thats it for today.

[geldartb]

still running stupid rough well actually it wont even stay running now. but heres some pics of the plugs and the o2 sensor. keep in mind the o2 sensor was brand new.

i would have got a video but yeah that wasnt happening. oh and those are the iridium plugs that came in the motor plus i have another set from the old 3400. but plain ol ac delcos went in for the time being and there only 2 bucks.

and once its running and sorted out then this goes on



eh and since im at it heres a pic of the car. i had to put the hood back on meh kinda diggin it without the hood plus the hood weighs 60lbs.

that o2 sensor actually isnt that bad...just alot of carbon on it...but the plugs not too bueno

[geldartb]

i figured the o2 wasnt bad but the plugs are well kinda dark. i changed them out with plane ol ac delco for the time being, when its running good and normal then ill go back and get some the $6 a piece iridium ones.

but for only running for a whole maybe 10 minutes that is alot of shit on the o2. that happened last week i was gonna take it for a sticker got 5 minutes down the road it started running like shit and i almost didnt make it back to my garage.

haha wtf 27 pages just noticed that damn. and whats with the board i can make post with the quick post box under the rest of the posts, but when i try and edit them in firefox its a no dice situation.

Nice sticker....

[geldartb]

you like that huh. hey i speak the truth.

heres the ironic thing about the sticker. when i was looking for a cd player for the subaru, picking through the cars i look up at the visor and see the sticker. it was in a subaru legacy wagon. so i took it.

hey sent you a PM Jon

i was following that thread and lost track of it so i never knew about the outcome. but it now works for us now.

[geldartb]

well it lives again. the 3500 top end is on along with the TOG headers and it does sound good even with the OEM camaro muffler i ended up using for the time being, once i get the new stuff flashed to the bin and that side of things tweaked ill get a better muffler.


still got a few things to do to the car
--put the good back bumper i got on the car
--put the lowering springs in
--put the vette calipers on, ive had this stuff for awhile.
--sometime pull the carpet to clean it good.

ill make a new thread sometime with a new video and updated pics.

i got some phone pics ill post up not the best quality but
