Turbo 3.4DOHC cam timing

[pontiacjeff]

cool, that way you don't have to break that cam bolt loose every time!

I am going to try to dyno the set-up out of the car to make cam changes easier.

[pontiacjeff]

that shoudl be "timing changes" easier.

Grand am/sunbird 2.0l Turbo with Daewoo head swap. Not a v6 but its good to know what a 3.4 DOHC would do if you degree the cams on boost.

OK, ya just peaked my interest...

I've got a 90 Sunbird LE Convert. here with the 2.0 Turbo/Auto tranny, and a cooked head. Granted, I've not been looking too hard for a new head, but what I have found wasn't great...

What is this Daewoo head swap of which you speak???

[pontiacjeff]

Very complicated. Follow along here:

I have a number of good turbo heads if you need one. Let me know.

Very complicated is an understatement.

How much for a head? (PM or here, either is fine)

I was going to rebuild the bottom end too (nice milky oil, wonderful for bearings...), but I happened upon quite the deal. GM crate short block(s), NEW, not reman, part number comes up as 85-86 2.0's, for $199.99. No shipping, it's close enough to me to pick up. I know they have at least one, but probably a few.

p.s. I didn't know that there was a difference between the turbo and non turbo heads, or is there?
