No one knows, ebristol said I should try it first but I don't feel like messing with it since I will be going bigger down the road. Rev limiter will be 72000

 

U need to do a e water pump..then u just take the chain off and toss it.lol

 

That's the plan if I can ever get some results from you!!

 

Got it, I guess that 2.6 might push you past the RSFS limits. I hope mine can rev to at least 7400 or 7500 to take advantage of the vavlesprings without running out of fuel lol.

 

I know i know.

I finally found the problem.. So hoping to fix it after i fix my self..lol got 1 broken rib and 3 fractured ones.

 

I want to do e water pump and a lot of other stuff, but I keep telling myself to stop because I want it to still be a decently reliable daily driver

 

if a e wp is setup right it will be just as reliable

 

Im dd my car now 200 miles a day. Over 1200 miles week

 

I know it can be reliable. I'm just paranoid because I'll be moving to Indianapolis next year and won't have a garage and limited tools

 

Nick... If I see you post one more time before your car is running........................................

 

No one know lol, I have 80s, rsfs, and a dw300 at a 50 psi base pressure and at 7k my idc is 86 so 1000s are necessary
I Mean you can crank the fp but that is a bandaid lol

 

On mobile so no pictures. Only thing left to do is tighten the crank pulley and bleed the clutch

 

Cant wait to see it running. I would say to see it on a dyno, but then we would get a bunch of idiots posting dynos dont matter. Numbers dont matter, but they do. Great job with the build, I sure you are going to love your car.

 

they are for bragging rights nothing more

 

Hard to believe the tensioner is set by starting the car...

 

Nah you have to set it my pushing on the guide

 

New style = Oil pressure driven. There is no spring to my knowledge. I could slide mine in and out before I installed it. After I primed the motor all the slack was gone.

 

Wrong

 

Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber.....

Anyways nick, saw the pics you been posting everywhere. Looks good. Start er up yet?

 

Its easy enough though. Pull your plugs, fuel pump relay and unplug your harness so there is no spark, punch the gas and turn over the car about 20 times.

hook line and sinker.

 

agreed. where does all this misinformation on the upgraded tensioner come from? weerd.

 

i think he just confused the old tensioner with the new one.

First time i built my head I did snap it into place by tapping on the guide and getting a click, then the oil pressure comes in after there is tension on the guide initially.

The new one just seems to be a hydraulic piston and retains pressure via a larger oiling hole and relief in the threads. I didnt have to snap that one, its just as easy as bolting on. Then starting the car to get oil pressure built up. I had horrible chain noise until I ugraded to the newer (prettier ) one. I posted a pic of the two earlier.

 

Last night I had er... Uh... Lake house event to attend plan for today is tighten crank pulley, bleed clutch, set CPS and fire

 

I want vid of rod going through block plz

 

Don't be too positive
