Minor update,

Cam gears, valve springs and retainers have been fitted. smile.gif

Had a couple of minor issues where the shim somehow popped out of the retainer bucket. I'm not sure whether it was due to poor lighting and upon installation the shim fell out or whether it popped out as i started it.

I think the first one is the more likely explanation.

Anyways all sorted now.

I have to say though the springs and retainers have made the world of difference, it no longer gets any valve train noise around 8K + It sounds smooth throughout the whole range.

I may be changing my direction slightly on the intake though, so stay tuned. :P

Yeah boi.

Well not much of an update, but i decided to paint my rocker cover in crinkle coat black. What's your thoughts?

I ended up putting it in the BBQ at 90* for about 15 - 20 minutes to tighten the crinkles up.

Thanks alot guys. It won't be done quickly as there is still a bit of fabrication work to be done. But that cant be done until I know the spacing of the ITB's.

I should receive my adapter plate and fuel rail soon enough.

    • Because the drive dog for the steeering angle sensor is present on wheels that came in HICAS cars and not present on wheels that came on non-HICAS cars. Not that I would let that bother me, because HICAS is trash and any excuse to get rid of it is a good excuse.
    • My plan is to replace both Shift Solenoids A and B, and good idea on the Torque Convertor Solenoid as well.  
    • I mean, I am always taking donations for a newer model!!  If you'd like to sponsor me. I would gladly get something else!! LOL
    • Interesting.  Great info. thank you.  Give a few days to get that name plate.  I have a busy life most weeks.  I will be in touch.
    • Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.
