arp ROD bolts not HEAD studs

 

you better have had that crank balanced with the flywheel and that pulley. aside from this. i see massive failure coming. three letters state this.

 

jbp? hhaa

 

well its a fully balanced lower rotating assembly. and you dont like the JBP balancer? ive never heard anything bad about it. my machinist said the solid lifters will be perfectly fine. aside from that i had the cams balanced so there are no worries there either. i dont see what could go so wrong here...

i ordered them through the shop that assembled my engine so im not sure. i can give him a shout and see if he can get it for me.

 

lightweight pulley + ecotec = problems.

the cams you chose are a failure. you should NOT gain psi by doing a cam swap. the triflows do this. the "jbp" ported head isn't much better than stock. i have seen the numbers.

you asked what i thought, there ya go pookie

 

i didnt have JBP port my head. i had the same guy that sleeved my block and assemble my engine do it. after i ran these cams w my last build after i had them balanced and i didnt have any problems with them rather than collapsing some lifters but im runnin solid lifters now so there should be no more of that. educate me on why a light weight crank pulley will be bad? its less rotating mass. i have a fully balanced engine. time will tell i suppose. thanks for your opinion thus far... pookie? lol

 

hes talking about this i think

interesting... looks like im swappin back to the factory crank pulley

 

good read.

 

he could of been talking about something else idk i just know he promotes that thread i posted

 

how much were your solid lifters?

 

230 from JBP and then i think it cost me another 200 to have them machined for correct valve lash. it was pricey just because my guy had to make a jig and there are 16 of them. they are hard to work with because they are so small. but the price is worth it for piece of mind knowing that im not gonna collapse them and throw rockers like i did last build

 

Were'd u get the breather to replace the oil cap? I've been trying to find one for a while now.

 

ZZP... 30bucks i think. look in the grand prix parts section. its the same thread as ours. its a nice piece.
