The 32MM socket you use will be perfect. It's tight and hard to get leverage on. You will probably end up punching the frame/header/head when trying to break it loose and cuss very loudly.

Between Al and I, we've installed cams and timed this motor close to 15 times. I know I had to personally do mine close to 10 due to some "mix ups". You should be good.

 

lol yeah I'm used to that with this car as is.... I don;t think I've gone a day without some part of my hand bleeding

 

Obviously don't forget oil either.

 

oh but of course.
guess I'm going to need a drain pan and another 7 qts of the good stuff

 

I'll bring engine assembly lube and cam cap sealant.

 

That **** has seen more Cobalts than...

 

Thats usually how it is every time I work on cars/engines

I usually end up punching what ever I'm working on, then bleed.

Me neither

Even if spent the whole day working at the computer

 

I bought a cheap wrench from the parts store and cut it in half with my grinder for the tensioner. It fit back there easier, but you'll probably still bust your damn knuckles as I rememeber I did!

 

looks like this meet is gonna be interesting..

 

yea i'm telling you i think even the gto guys will have a WTF look on their faces lol

 

Well luckily my injectors made it to my house so I gave them to paul yesterday and I wish I could come to the meet I have work till 430 on sunday sadly enough :[

 

sucks man, but seriously thanks for the injectors man, making a big difference so far.
gonna call off the cam install for tomorrow, I don't think my motor is too happy right now and I don't want to really push it anymore than I already am

 

i wud play it safe...and well take it easy driving there..well maybe get some fly by vids..hahaha..time to clean the car

 

Damn Trix that's kind of you. That my friends is the type of person we need a lot more of on this site. People helping others out in time of need. Delaying ones project to help another out. Kudos to Trix, and I'd plus rep you if we could still.

Paul, is it hard to dial in the 79's? Just curious. Hope things start looking better with the new injectors.

 

Still maxxing out the 79s?

 

79's looking good so far... hitting 89% idc's though at 6300 rpm and @18-19 psi.
pretty easy to set up though (thanks to Witt) car runs a lot smoother now, idles better, and all around drives better, no I just gotta dial in the rest of my tune to work properly, still getting a lean spike midrange, but I think I got it figured out, but won't know for sure until later when I go do some more pulls

 

WOW! Paul, I guess the car is really hungry! Damn you really did need those injectors! Good luck with the pulls, I hope you can get it all dialed in up to 7K.

 

injectors are a bandaid go return style

 

You still haven't gone returnless Paul?

 

havent had the time to finish it yet. Hopefully my friend has some free lift time this week or weekend so I can bring it down and finish it off.

 

Paul, that's why your car hasn't been running nicely, you haven't "finished it off." No happy ending, no running well!

 

you think it acts funny now. wait till the cams go in.

 

lol I know I wasa talking to witt at the meet sunday about them


and 2k I got that s/c at my house for ya, just need to do shippin quote today

 

Sweet. Do the quote for the Charleston address please, and I'll pay you accordingly. They don't have TIG capabilities over here!

 

no prob, I'll take care of it tonight
