    Cam install

    I guess I could try that, it doesn't hesitate though and I am assuming the same thing... once a piston hits the valve the valve would break but they didn't cause i checked when i took it apart. Could it just be really noisy valve train? Like the valves coming back into the head slapping...

    Cam install

    I don't get it! I rechecked the timing AGAIN and I am still getting some ticking sounds that I believe is the pistons hitting the valves. Every where I read people run the stage 3 cams with no problems so why am I having issues? Can anyone give me some input? The timing is fine, turn over by...

    Tint or buy blacked out lights?

    Where can you get the vinyl overlays? I may just try that and I assume you can just do that with the lights on the car anyway which is easier too.

    Tint or buy blacked out lights?

    Should I tint my lights or just buy blacked out headlights and tail lights? What do you all think? Would it look good being a torch red mustang or keep stock? Looking for something different and thought it may look good. BTW still working on the cams, finally back at it today.

    O/R Mid Pipe question

    Never had an issue with O/R midpipes, just make sure the check engine light is off. It may just be luck but I have never actually had a place look under my car especially if its a newer car.

    Yeah but yet again I have to leave for more field training so it will be another 2 weeks. Love all this being away before a deployment.

    Cam install

    Finally I finished the install and guess what? more PTV issue's, I think I may be a tooth off on the passenger side head so I am going to take it apart real quick and check the timing even though I checked it several times. Thats the only thing I can think of because the drivers side head...

    What to use to clean heads?

    I have my heads off and wanna clean them out throughly, what should I use to do this? I don't have a parts cleaner or anything so any suggestions? I was going to just use WD40 and wipe it all off with a micro fiber towel. Thanks.

    Head removal

    Sweet, glad I don't have to fight to get this motor out. If I had the right tools dropping the motor is pretty easy but I don't.

    Head removal

    Can the head of a 2v be removed with the motor in the car or are the head studs to long? I haven't really come across too much about this except one small post where they said the motor has to come out. Anyone have any info on this?

    Yeah I have also read about just the Intake valves being an issue, but I am pissed that the owner said there would be no PTV issue and now I have to spend ANOTHER $141 on valves. I think if they stand behind their product they should send me them! Not to mention now my car won't be done until...

    Forget it, I give up! Jim (the owner of Cushman Motorsports) said there would be no PTV issue, well guess what? There is! I am super pissed. I have an email from him saying there would be no PTV issue. Theres 2 options that I see. 1: send me a thicker head gasket and hope that works and...

    Cam install

    I really can't catch a break. For some reason the bolt hole used to hold the cam sprocket to the cam is bigger so the stock bolt will not work! The crank bolt which is a little bigger than the cam bolts fits perfectly but EVERYWHERE I went today they didn't have it because its a pretty uncommon...

    Finally got all the springs changed. I didn't work on her all week cause of work and I was waiting on a new valve spring compressor that worked AMAZING. I changed 10 springs within 2 1/2 hours. Tomorrow I can finally start putting it back together :-)

    Well I am at a standstill, the POS valve spring compressor is the worst tool ever designed and made. Maybe tomorrow I can find a better one but if not it won't be done until mid week or next weekend :-(
