Daamn...you gots extras??

I bought the adjusters, but since I need a new cam, I'm getting new complete rockers...hence having the adjusters for sale.

did you weld a nut to the broken bolt in this last pic?

sure did.

Duff you should tone it down and quite breaking stuff on that motor!!

yeah, because I'm doing it on purpose. I really can't help it.

edit: actually, now that i think about it, when I built this engine, I took the head to the machine shop and they just exchanged it for another one they had already done. So none of this is really of my doing.

has anyone ever seen this happen? passenger side bracket that bolts to engine and bellhousing. All 4 bolts were tight, but it is broken clean in half.

Just replace the whole fawkin truck while you're at it, it'll be faster!

Make sure you bring that bolt breaking strength to Dave's when you go.

O your a funny guy!

You do know that my loud piece of crap engine was an Attarco right? It finally blew up last month. less than 2 years. there not even in the San Jose location anymore.

no, it is the bolt under the damn distibutor. I was loosening it and it was one of those "...that didn't feel good...give it another twist. POP" type of breaks.

Good thing too, cuz otherwise it woulda just come loose.

Duffil · « **Reply #737 on:** Feb 01, 2008, 08:11:20 PM »

[postwhore]OK, so the fuel pump eccentric has been machined to fit with the LC cam gear, the head is ready to roll, now I am just waiting on my new cam to show up...should be late next week.

Doof · « **Reply #738 on:** Feb 01, 2008, 09:03:15 PM »

rebuilding engines is so fun... if i were to get my 22re bored where would i send the block?

Duffil · « **Reply #739 on:** Feb 01, 2008, 09:08:54 PM »

which Cam did you go with? I keep changing my mind.

Duffil · « **Reply #741 on:** Feb 02, 2008, 01:36:11 PM »

One of the LC cams. I plan on posting up my DD results when I get a minute.

Wermz84 · « **Reply #742 on:** Feb 02, 2008, 02:06:55 PM »

I keep debating between the LC and the Comp Cam.

Duffil · « **Reply #743 on:** Feb 02, 2008, 02:09:59 PM »

the research I did, the comp cams put out almost no torque gains down low. I'll post my findings later.

Ive seen it 2x as well once was passenger side, the other was a wrecked truck and was driverside, although the pass side took the brunt of the collision.

Duffil · « **Reply #747 on:** Feb 02, 2008, 10:00:46 PM »

OK...here is some research. Mind you that this is setup using MY ENGINE CONFIGURATION, which is not stock. I think it still shows a pretty good comparison between the cams. Also, I know that *part* of my math is wrong somewhere, but I am too lazy to make this 100% correct. It's close enough for the girls I date.

Here is my current setup:
