• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

1.9 rockers help quick!!



As promised, first start video:



The valve train chattered for a while before the lifters got pumped, I guess. It went away by the time it warmed up. LTFT is +7 probably from the rockers and ported TB. Gotta iron out the tune now.
 
I've had that happend to me also....About the chattering upon initial startup. Glad i'm not the only one it hppend to.
 


looks like my harmonic balancer and coil pack bracket worked well. congrats! nice to see the guy who hated the top swap a year ago finally did it. save up for that triple edge trans. my swap lasted me a lil over a year on the stock trans and i beat the chit outta mine

Good stuff! Just curious what should the LTFT be?
 


holy crap, just listened to the video of your startup now. did you turn the car over before starting it to get the oil in the lifters and all? your valvetrain sound horridly loud. either that or your camera is exaggerating some of it for me.
 


Could also be the intake/blower rotors...mine was pretty loud when we first started it up and we even cranked it over to get the lifters and everything lubed up...
 
It had been cranked over a lot during the compression checks. Otherwise no I didn't. It chattered for about 2-3 minutes while the lifters pumped up. Been fine since. I lubed the pushrod ends with oil before I put them back in to help with the first start up.

The camera was exaggerating it some, though.
 
yeah, that's what i figured. hope all keeps going well for you. sounds like youll be having a fun car pretty soon. wait until your first WOT run. dont be afraid to keep going for your scan if you see 5* or so. it is bound to happen.
 
I'm very eager to see what it can do, but without tuning I'm worried it will blow up right now.

It's nice moving up to a larger ported TB and rockers over what I had before. Less throttle required to maintain speed or accelerate than before.
