Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Documented Build... L67



what you need to do now is, before anything else, you now need to go buy a set of sc rotors, cause you just killed yours, that black stuff was what was left of you rotor coating, and you took the rest off. now you will lose boost.


everything else looks Jim dandy. :th_thumb-up:

Very Nice, so why are Pacesetters a big waste of $$. I thought getting headers was a good thing.

Getting headers is a great thing. Pacesetter just happens to make garbage imo: terrible welds, low grade steel bolts etc...

Not too worried about the blower rotors... Dropping in a L32, long block.

So is this build before or after the motor in the video went BOOM? Still a cool video though.

Before, hence the part 2 coming soon. :)

I couldn't help but noticing it but does it say that you running an XP cam with 1.9 rockers??? If so that's gonna raise a few more questions.

With the little thing in the video about "Do Not Use These (Comp Cam Lifters)" I take it that you think those are at fault.....I'm gonna lean more toward the fact that you were running XP along with 1.9's.....which would require a ton of machine work to the head and no matter what you'd do it would cause pre mature wearing of the valve guides.

how does this re coating work? and what do you plan on using to coat them with?

I wouldn't do them myself. There is a machine shop 3 blocks away from me that would do it for pretty cheap. Not sure what the material is, I can find out for you if you like? I wish I knew not to wire clean the rotors before hand, could have saved myself a lot of aggrevation :/ - I said not worried about it now cause the motor is junk. Plus the L32 I'm buying comes with Gen V powa :)

Sorry, 1.6 Rockers (Aluminum) from ZZP. Not 1.9 - Will correct that.
And not only are they loud, one of the lifters literally split in half...

Probably plastidip or powdercoat them and tell you they'll be good to go.























Pull rotors in a few thousand miles for whatever reason to find coating gone again...






































Machine shop runs away with your money

He has new super rotors..

If not..I'd toss him a whole charger I have sitting on the shelf in the way. Cause..he's local and going for painful waste of money #2... I er uh..mean build #2. Yeah.

Been there...had two transmissions so I could rotate one out each time it broke.

Don't half of us do that with whole cars?

Edit: Ahahahah. Oh man, just saw the pic of you drilling a hole to get the cam out. Hilariously brilliant way to avoid playing with dropping the cradle. Made my day.
