U gonna make it to Flat Nasty?

[Gittinit]

He was supposed to be going on a float trip. He was gonna call me, and I am supposed to pick him up or something, but I havent heard from him in a few weeks. Well not since he blew the motor in his DD.

After being gone most of the summer (military stuff) I finally got my daily driver motor finished and put in...  I did a complete rebuild ended up going 20 over on the pistons and went with a LC Engineering cam.  I also went with the K&N Mass Air Flow and filter system since my MAF flapper was corroded up from sitting for so long...  I've got around 450 miles on the new engine.  Feels kinda sluggish, or maybe I just expected more..  Hopefully its performance will improve when it gets a few more miles on it.

[DeMented Toys]

It is great to have the daily driver up and running again regardless.  Time to get back to work on the Punisher Yota!

[DeMented Toys]

I got some work done on the new front axle too.  I'll get more pics up soon.

[DeMented Toys]

And I did go on that canoe trip.  5 days on the Current River.  It was awesome.  The canoe fit perfectly on top of the rollover protection, it cleared the cab by a good half inch too, almost like it was planned that way.

[THK Matt]

looks really good man.


whats in store with the new axle?
why not keep the current axle that's under it?

Uhh..  I don't know...  Just figured I would build another one with a truss, new bearings...  5.29s, locker, you know, the usual stuff... 

I also have the Hy Steer attached and ready to be installed too...

[THK Matt]

I got the EFI Pro Camshaft.  I heard yours worked out great for ya.   
Any suggestions?

ok, that would be the .440 lift lc cam,  man  it should be very peppy,  pull your valve cover  and set the timing mark on the crankshaft on 0*, the cam timing mark(dimple on cam gear)  should be just to the pass side of straight up,   like 11:50 as compared to "straight up" being 12 oclock

I'll check it first thing in the morning. Thanks.

The cam gear dimple looks to be at the 12 o'clock position to me....

[THK Matt]

move it a tooth back maybe?

[79coyotefrg]

yep its 1 tooth off, remove the gear and rotate the cam counterclockwise one tooth

the cam dowel should be straight up, the dimple  should be to the passenger side of 12 oclock

fix that and i'll bet it gives ya whiplash

Yeah, the dowel is closer toward the 1230 or 1 o'clock position.  When I move it back a tooth do I need to adjust anything else?

[79coyotefrg]

nope,  that will fix it

once you get the cam set  just reinstall the distributor  and fire it up

[DeMented Toys]

Okay, moved it back a tooth.  Now it definately seems to perform better above 3000 rpm, but now it seems quite sluggish below 2500.  Before it seemed like it wanted to run off the idle better but the performance above 3500 rpm was not as good...  Maybe I need to get an adjustable cam gear and set it in the middle of the two.  Any thoughts?

[79coyotefrg]

did you shave the head or block??
