Was getting weird fluctuations in mixture when hot. It would go way rich. Found it it went away when unplugging carbon canister, and figured it...

So I have about 150 miles on the engine now and I pulled the oil cap to find this. Running MTC rockers. Pictured is an intake lobe. Is it me, or...

Seat of the pants it?s slightly faster, though I haven?t pushed it as I?m breaking it in. While book value is 150hp, I'm running a tweaked timing and...

Got my cold air air intake setup installed. It has CCV and I even have the carbon canister hooked up too. Now I just need to connect cruise cable...

I forgot to ask you over the phone, but do you offer any cam option for 3.0? If not, is B280E cam and upgrade over the eagle? If so, where to find? ...

What you see are the valve guides. The stem seals are inside valve cover. I was thinking of feeding rope and pushing the piston into the valve, but...

Header is warped about .018 of an inch:shocked: Going to call DPI tomorrow to see best course of action.

So even with brand new gaskets, it still leaks! Anybody have an idea how this can be fixed?

I?m hearing most of the noise where all the tubes meet at collector. Going to check with vacuum cleaner and soapy water when it cools down.

Also, for Josh B. I started it without cats connected and no vibrations at all. Very smooth. Hook cats and tighten band clamps and vibration...

Aaaaand spoke too soon. Put new gaskets and noise is still there. :confused: Maybe it's oil coming past rings making that noise? Or just valve...

So...found the source of the noise. Crappy Fel Pro exhaust gasket didn't work too well. #4 was the worst and it makes sense as most noise...

I wish there were performance cam option for the 3.0. I would?ve put a set of cams in this if that were the case. Hopefully most of the noise...

No change pulling injectors one at a time. Also tested injectors and spray looks good. I read somewhere online that the hydraulic cams are...

Tried the Monaco coil pack with no change. Drained oil after 35 miles of driving. Oil had a definite dust of metal. Was a 10w30. I changed it to...

Maybe you're right. I just also get some vibration when it's doing the micropops. I may run a test harness and swap to the eagle premier coil pack...

Ran some more today, and can definitely hear intermittent and very slight misfiring pops from exhaust.

ECU bay cleaned up. Used Tesa fuzzy tape to wrap harness. Also, put rear of car back on, recharged AC, put back interior trim. Almost ready...

So I pulled the timing cover through the night and retimed, and it's the same. It was timed right from the get go. I guess I'll replace exhaust...

I'm starting to get the feeling that my cam timing is off a tooth. Why? Well manual calls for intake valve to begin opening at 14* BTDC. Cylinder...

During valve adjustment. Cams look good to me. Some rockers were a little loose. After. Starting to think I have an exhaust leak, so I ordered...

Rog. Going to check lash today. I actually pulled each injector plug one by one with no change to noise. Going to also reduce my plug gap from...

This engine never even ran before the switch. It had a cooling system mess and pitted cylinders when purchased from junkyard. Then some of the...

And today I got the leaking heater elbow fixed. I removed the press in fitting, tapped the waterpump with a 1/2npt tap, and used a 5/8 barb to 1/2npt...

Sure. Just a quick tip. If you are doing coil on plug with EDIS. Do not use Joe's wiring diagram. It's wrong.

+1 His post is basically just a link to his own website too lol. I've personally never seen what dtavres has posted. Maybe that was a glitch?...

My car started for the first time in 5 years. I only ran it few seconds as it has no coolant (waiting on a pipe). Nevertheless, I have a grin stuck...

Those are what Dave T was referring to. Those catch the bump stops and prevent the hood from decapitating you in the event of a front end collision.
