Duffil's 84 Xtra Cab is still bringing the suck

[Duffil]

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.

[CrazyYota]

Now I am starting to get a little pissed.



and a broken bolt on the back of the head:

I broke one of those on my dads runner! 

[Duffil]

OK last ones for tonight... 


cleaning up the intake:



marking the LC Cam Gear:


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.

[skipnrocks]

U better stop working on your motor, youll keep findin broken stuff!!  LOL

[MiniSimp]

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.

Like a bull in a china closet 

[skipnrocks]

Funny! A bull in a china closet, do you ever watch mythbusters?  When they set up a china closet and put like 6 bulls in there and chased them around and they didnt break anything!!  LOL   



Sry offtopic! but it was funny!

[Doof]

always gettin off topic



sucks that your always finding new broken parts

[Wermz84]

OK last ones for tonight... 
marking the LC Cam Gear:

Hey! where did you get a 4 row cam gear?  I want one!!    Ive looked through LC's catalog. 

[Wermz84]

as long as it's 4 row!  haha

No problem! I'll come over and pick up my new truck after work.

Lucky guy, got all the hook ups.

I have to start my new engine build pretty quick.

it's not worth it.  just get an attarco.

[Wermz84]

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. 

[Duffil]

yeah, I remember you talking about it at MCR. sorry to hear it blew though.

[fordh8r]

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]

[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. [/postwhore]

[Doof]

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

[Duffil]

I would use a hot XActo Knife and some carb cleaner...

to a machine shop mang.

[Wermz84]

Thats ok, now I get to build a new one.

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

[Duffil]

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

[Wermz84]

I keep debating between the LC and the Comp Cam. 

[Duffil]

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

I'd appreciate it.

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]

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:

[Duffil]

Here is a representation of  Comp Cams # 87-119-4...I will only post this one, but all 3 numbers i ran had similar performance.

[Duffil]

and here is the LC 1022021 cam, which is what I am going with.
