Yeah we are having .120" fly cuts done to clear the cam that Geoff / Hamilton came up with. Just a wee bit bigger then stock.

 

I am assuming this is due to a larger overlap window?

I don't do race engines, but take vibration data on industrial engines all the time to see the actual cam timing vs. the book.

 

This is the public response from the fellow that sold me the engine. What a maroon,

keep in mind, I never heard this engine over the phone at all, so I am not sure where he came up with that

 

Sucks you're left out in the cold, but you seem remarkably composed about it, atleast from what I ahve seen. But I guess we all know that you have to pay to play, and from time to time, **** goes wrong and we get burned.

 

hey kev sorry to side track this but could you send me the tuning numbers for the tnt-r programming? also that is mega lame with that motor

 

The only small but good thing is that engine isn't in too bad of shape considering how bad it was plugged up, it could be alot worse. Its still rebuildable, the troubleshooting parts/cost has been really the painfull part..

Still been wondering where that sludge came from .

 

crap. sorry about that.. I keep looking at the pm in my box, and thinking I got to get that done,, and then get all caught up in other things.. I will try very hard to get that done for you this week.

 

I know Tate, but its how much a person has to pay to play sometimes is what sucks

 

no worries i understand your busy and that motor isn't helping anything, just thought i would remind you

 

You know i looked at the pictures. The first thing I thought of was some of that block sealer stuff. When the owner knows the head is cracked or gasket is gone
Either way very crappy

 

Interesting thought.

 

Wonder what you would get back if you sent the sludge in for an oil analysis?

 

Probably a gear-box analysis might shed some light. The particles in the sludge might be too big for the common engine oil analysis.

 

Kev have you looked at the carrillo rods? Suppose to be the lightest billet ctd rod available. Abit more money than the crower.

You're going to have one heck of a neat build going buddy.
