- Quick update on today's work - Torsion'sA8 2015-08-01 17:27:16 (284 views)
  - just push driver's then passenger side cog ccw to eat up any slack from turning backwards... - BrianC72gt 2015-08-01 20:01:52 (234 views)
- So yesterday was eventful... - Torsion'sA8 2015-07-29 19:44:54 (258 views)
  - I vote for waiting for the VC gaskets - leaking oil on the manifold won't make you happy. - TwoSeven 2015-07-30 16:21:13 (250 views)
    - Gaskets on order, car on charge. It will be very tempting to start it on Saturday. - Torsion'sA8 2015-07-30 16:46:39 (230 views)
      - with the cam bar in place...  -  BrianC72gt  2015-07-31 16:02:24 (230 views)
        
        He's borrowing my tools and I can vouch that the pins on the bar barely fit in my cam ears.   -  TwoSeven  2015-07-31 16:30:10 (182 views)
        
        The pins do barely fit in...   -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-31 16:48:56 (274 views)
        
        Wow, that picture is brutal. Was it like that before you did this TB job?  -  TwoSeven  2015-07-31 18:27:22 (227 views)
        
        I have no idea how or why, but it is a bit screwed up...  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-31 18:52:08 (210 views)
        
        Cams  -  BobD  2015-08-01 06:42:01 (227 views)
        
        The negative space in the ear cavities will be filled by JB on the cams. Zero room for movement.  -  TwoSeven  2015-07-31 19:08:00 (189 views)
        
        True, but how would I know if I have the ears squared up properly onto the cams?  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-31 19:29:37 (214 views)
        
        The wear on the cams is on the outer edges. The center of the flat space on the cam appears intact.  -  TwoSeven  2015-07-31 21:07:47 (216 views)
        
        IIRC, the ears are asymetrical...they only go on one way...  -  BrianC72gt  2015-08-01 03:59:26 (206 views)
        
        There are no tool marks on them, they almost look like they were hit by a hammer...  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-08-01 10:00:51 (240 views)
        
        One more thing before you start JB'ing and grinding - grind off the irregularities on the cams first  -  TwoSeven  2015-08-01 10:49:07 (209 views)
        
        groovy   -  BrianC72gt  2015-07-31 16:42:34 (199 views)
- How's it going, Walt? Any updates for us? - TwoSeven 2015-07-29 12:58:26 (217 views)
  - Update - Torsion'sA8 2015-07-29 15:54:37 (261 views)
    - Sounds like maybe you got a bad or incorrect part in that TB kit, but all looks to be undamaged. - TwoSeven 2015-07-29 16:34:08 (254 views)
      - About the granande pin...  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-29 17:12:08 (225 views)
        
        If you let it?  -  BrianC72gt  2015-07-29 20:47:22 (244 views)
        
        ^^^This, 100%. Before trying to manipulate cams independently with any tools.   -  TwoSeven  2015-07-29 21:13:41 (235 views)
      - My drivers side is off a bit...  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-29 17:09:46 (240 views)
        
        CCW to increase tension   -  Travieso  2015-07-29 17:38:54 (218 views)
        
        Compression is off consistently 25ish psi from driver to passenger banks; timing is off as you know.  -  TwoSeven  2015-12-03 04:27:42 (220 views)
        
        Pads are good. Drivers side looses its pressure. Passage side is perfect.   -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-29 17:44:32 (212 views)
        
        If you could please clarify: does the DS cam adjuster lose pressure, or do you lose DS...  -  TwoSeven  2015-07-29 18:25:55 (221 views)
        
        Drivers side chain adjuster is collapsed  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-29 18:29:46 (256 views)
        
        Well that is batshit, sounds like the DS adjuster has a broken spring... but your PS has misfires.  -  TwoSeven  2015-07-29 19:18:49 (255 views)
        
        And that is kinda where...  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-29 19:25:23 (244 views)
        
        A small gear puller is key with the sprockets. I now stand by my Italian tuneup theory.  -  TwoSeven  2015-07-29 19:31:20 (223 views)
        
        I have a small puller on it right now. It is...  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-29 19:34:24 (229 views)
        
        Almost sounds to me like your PS cam chain adjuster / tensioner is shot dead.  -  TwoSeven  2015-07-29 17:55:57 (253 views)
- Walter... watched the video.... - twincitiesS8 2015-07-25 20:20:21 (354 views)
  - I have had her for a little over 5 years... - Torsion'sA8 2015-07-25 20:37:42 (300 views)
    - Did you put the plug back in after removing the crank lock pin? also check measuring block 90-93 on - audinutt 2015-07-25 23:55:58 (300 views)
      - The plug did go back in.  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-26 09:25:18 (262 views)
        
        I doubt you bent any valves it sound like you did everything right.   -  audinutt  2015-07-26 17:35:41 (256 views)
        
        Incorrect timing or valve damage could both cause low compression, but if you test and...  -  TwoSeven  2015-07-26 12:02:38 (285 views)
        
        I was going to have a mobile mechanic come by today and double check my work but...   -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-04 01:51:10 (250 views)
        
        Walt, whatever the issue is, it isn't the end of the world. We are all happy to help you fix it.  -  TwoSeven  2015-07-26 21:36:01 (241 views)
        
        Thank You Sam...  -  Torsion'sA8  2015-07-26 21:45:50 (248 views)
        
        Sounds like a plan. Hold off on the front level sensor though, you may need to...   -  TwoSeven  2015-07-27 08:47:50 (258 views)
        
        Never a bad idea to get a second set of eyes on a problem you can't find an obvious answer to.   -  TwoSeven  2015-07-26 14:35:51 (228 views)
        
        I was wondering if there was a little too much slack between the pulleys...  -  BrianC72gt  2015-07-28 02:50:54 (279 views)
