What are the symptoms of a bad roller?

Basically just a poping noise is all I had all the time. There is a vid of it on my YouTube page from last year

Nice Flanigan's cup!!!

That's my cup of spare cobalt bolts. That, and several ziplock bags. I used to have a thinner, taco bell cup, but it split open one day. The Flanagins cup's are much stronger :)

They're also a good size to hold head bolts, whatever. I have a couple around the garage for specific purposes.

How did you take of the timing chain Did you just take it off with out marking it? Because im helping a friend with his build and if you don't put the the timing chain on right the car is not going to run right. So im just asking what yall did to know how to put the timing chain back on right.

Do yourself a favor, get a repair manual for the car. It will detail those kinds of things for you. Believe me, you don't want to mess up the timing. A very small mistake can cause a ton of damage to your motor.

doesn't really matter. he has more money in his block than most would put into their cars :lol:

cobaltguy889 05-26-2010 07:04 PM

Congrats!!!

Seriously, when you finish, you are going to love it.

I blew my motor and rebuilt it, and did a custom turbo build all at once, and I LOVE IT!

Wouldn't that be all the more reason to invest in a wideband? Why cheap out in the monitoring on the engine's vitals with all of the money invested?

Either way the motor should be pretty nasty!

ok so i though to give an update on my thread....

motor is done... drives perfect! the only problem now is that i blew my turbo today... talked to Jason at Treadstone and the turbo kit should be ready to get installed in less than 2 weeks...

this is my plans for next year:

Valves
Valves Springs
Retainers
Port & polish head
Corrillo Rods (however you spell them :D)
tranny upgrade...(lets see what zzp comes out with or just build a G85 tranny)
SPEC stage 3+ or stage 4 clutch and flywheel
Meth kit

after all that well see how the car turns out.... keep in touch!!

Turbo was cooked when you built the motor, no suprise there.

Lemme know when you're ready to do more work on it, i'm always down.

cardelino18 06-29-2010 10:07 AM

Lol I'm always down too but I have to pay off everything first and then we will work on this...
That's why I said next year :D
