Note to self:

Learn from the mistakes of others, change timing set when the cam gets installed.

Have you pulled the heads off of it yet? Is it going to be a simple machine shop pluck and chuck on the valves or are the tops of the pistons dinged up enough to warrant a rebuild?

 

Heads are off, it appears as if the damage is minimal just put some new Valves in. But it will still take awhile i'm sure TEA is backed up, plus I think I might have the heads finshed off to stage 3 with bigger valves also.

 

Best time to make yourself faster. good luck on getting your car back up and running,

 

Damn unreliable domestics.

 

Looks like someone should replace that timing chain with a timing gear this time. I know I won't be sticking any chains whatsoever in the blown 327 when I (finally) rebuild it.

 

It would be nice if we could. The knock sensors in the Ls1 would wig out with the noise and vibration from a gear drive.

 

You crazy kids and your computer controlled ignition timing!

 

That and noone makes a gear drive for us.

 

Any new updates on the future yet James?
