Haha sadly not! This was the reason the Ze came out:Dark_Rider2k3 wrote:it sounds the same as my moms truck, which was the lifters.

Thanks Waspone, I like new things, if it's not new I try to make it look new! The engine stand made me actually want to bother doing it right, don't know why I didn't buy one sooner.

Mark, can you get me a closer pic of your oil pump, the suction area that protrudes? I wanna see what it looks like. Maybe PM me.
BTW, the motor looks awesome!

I don't know how there is so much stress to cause the cams to break like that. Were your bearings worn out/loose?

Thought I should update this!
I'm now running Megasquirt v3 board with coilpacks from a ford cougar Shaodome diagnosed my processor was faulty, so everything worked except the RPM input. I got it back, installed, and no problems- MS install is easy when your MS works
The sound is amazing now with no VAF The car is just dying to spin the wheels all through 2nd gear! I was shocked at the extra power, even with a base map. Videos and write up to come.
Here's my new improved IAC , jigsaw+dremel+some scrap alu, thanks to hppwdn for the idea :
I've a few other things on the go too, will update when they're working

Grrrreat!!
I'm jealous you beat me to the coilpacks. I'm going to try COP. I wish I could have afforded the adjustable cam gers For my IAC block-off, I cut an Aluminum can to fit between the IAC, and TB. I'll do mine like yours when I can get ahold of the tools. We need videos of your car doin stuff!
BTW, what did you do about your cam?

New valve cover with no stupid metal pipe at the front for crankcase ventilation, all in my quest for less stupid crap in the engine bay!
I'm also on the straight neck for a while, just experimenting Should have some more interesting updates in the coming weeks
Haha just have to step it up with the COP eh I'm running plain ole kl01s, they feel pretty ballsy really! But after driving a k8 for a few weeks that's no surprise.fowljesse wrote:Grrrreat!!
