well at least it works.

the 07 guys can make it happen. IF they reeealllyy wanna ...i did.

getting the head monday, will most likely post pics around 3-4 pm (PST) on monday.

 

tomorrows the big day

 

Come on, want some pics ASAP of the head when it comes in.

 

are the 07 and 08 cams the same?

 

Im pumped for them pics im ordering my cams next week

 

sorry guys i have been busy all day, reassembled the engine and dropped it in the car today, just finished after about 7-8 hrs of work...

stainless steel valves


2007 L61 head, completely rebuilt with bates engineering valvetrain and comp cams stg 2 cams


close up of cam position sensor ring


sensor ring pressed on, incredible machine work on the end of cam, after shortening it a bit


bates incredibly designed hydraulic cam chain tensioner

 

very nice lets see some video of it runnin

 

here is my only vid... no header, stock tune, no intake:



engine finally back in its home:

 

Let me know how u like them... i was think about gettin some too...

 

that vid is hilarious

 

we need a vid with it running properly with the maf hooked up with some sorta exhaust lol

 

If anyone is interested in Comp Cams for their 2005-06 2.2L ecotec, we have them at www.TurboTechRacing.com

 

workin on it.. workin on it. lol

 

i know im just givin ya ****..i know it takes time to put the **** back together.so what are the gaims supposed to be?

 

well i dont know, really.. before, i just had the k&n short ram, now i got that, plus the neutral balance shafts, the stg 2 cams, all bates valvetrain, trifecta tune, lsj header and downpipe, so.. i dont know?

im thinking anywhere from 20-40 hp gain.

 

damm we need more videos.

 

Fo Sho!

 

how hard was it to get these cams to fit? i want stage 2's for my balt but im not sure of what all is involved in gettin em in there. i mean i know i would need new springs and retainers but im talking bout just getting the cams to fit. will they work in the stock head? i know you have i bunch of work done to it, didnt know if it was an aftermarket one or not....

 

they might fit with the factory valvetrain, but youd have to check if the factory valvesprings can support the lift of the cams... the stage 2 cams have a lift of .440, so idno if theyd work or not. if you have an 07, the end of the intake cam has to be cut off for it to even fit in the head, and use the cam positioning sensor.

if you get aftermarket valvesprings, you might have to go with a completely aftermarket valvetrain (springs, valves, seals, seats, retainers, etc.)

 

any new vids yet?

 

still waiting on that header...

bled the clutch and brakes today, clamped up the CV boots, ready to go except for its so loud and i dont wanna risk something breaking, plus its idling around 1300 probably because no o2 sensors are hooked up...

 

hook it up yo!!LOL.
i would love to put a mild cam in mine

 

it sounds unbelievable. i threw on my factory header and just put it in 1st, gave it some gas, let the clutch out, then put it in reverse, and put it where it was....

best 5 seconds of my life lol

i cant wait to drive this thing. im too scared to **** something up with no exhaust on a rebuilt top end... dont want to bend a valve.

next: custom 2.5 catback w/flowmaster 40 series? then flywheel, and stg 2 clutch

next year: some LSJ rods and some .010 over 12:1 pistons

do it! do it!

 

nice high compression.that'll bump up the power.
I want to but money is so tight right now..id love to get a mild cam,header/DP-cat delete,just some little bolt ons to assist me in hittin 14's with no major power adders(blower,turbo,nitrous)then when i get bored build it for boost..but well see
