Well timing chain tensioner took a **** and the intake cam jumped some teeth.Exhaust valves stayed in check though.Going to for ge the bottom end and do an extensive port job on the head/blower.Recommendations on valve springs? here's some shitty quality pix.

Thanks and yeah I have been checking out both ZZP and TTR.Probably going with TTR valvetrain as a turbo 2.2 here is running the springs and retainers and is working well.I have more research to do for the bottom end.Probably a Wiseco/Eagle combo.We will see though.I will keep this thread updated.

TTR matches pricing i think on piston/rods. They have Eagle rods and wiseco pistons.

Make it bulletproof!

Mongorat also has some LNF heads he is willing to part out, their valves are a significant upgrade.

This ain't my 1st rodeo son!
My heads fine.Just gotta replace the intake valves.but i'll end up replacing all the valves and springs.We'll see what happens though.I'm getting the valve spring compressor for it Tuesday so I can pull the head apart next.Until then it sits.

Mongorat that is an 07-08 head. It has the cam sensor on the intake side of the head no other years had that.

Just a heads up if you decide to go with the supertech springs and retainers, it will require custom work to head and seats to work on an 07 2.2 head. If you send the stuff with your head when you get it p & p'd, it shouldn't be a problem for them to take care of.

1LowLS

I keep looking at it and it looks like a LE5/LAP head.
Cool thanks for the heads up.

07cobaltguy

I dont see any extra room where the cam phasers would be on a LAP/LE5

1LowLS

look just left of the hook.It comes out.Mine doesn't do that.Plus the "PCV" port is way smaller than the one on my head.

1LowLS

here's a pic of my head

Definitely different, mogorats has two square holes inbetween 1-2 and 3-4 and two small round holes inbetween 2-3. Lowls has two rectangular holes between 1-2 and 3-4 and one bigger rectangle between 2-3.

1LowLS

yeah on his if you look just left of the engine hook you can see where it lopes out for the cam phasers. no VVT on mine

Brags

Got me curious here's a few snaps of mine.


Same holes as yours, Im 07 as well
