PTV its a universal accro

Piston To Valve

No sh*t Sherlock I was talking about timing the cams. As long as we are on the PTV though, did you clay a piston? Just cause it's not hitting it now doesn't necessarily mean there won't be an issue. There are tolerances for intake and exhaust valves. Heat makes things expand. For that reason more tolerance is needed on the exhaust valves. Not trying to scare you, just don't want anyone making critical mistakes. Hope it works out fine. Can't wait to see the new times!

orange timing these motors is easy as hell,,,, ensure the crank is tdc (compression stroke),,,, mark 6 and 12 oclock on the timing chains,,,, mark timing points on crank drive cogs,,,, match 6 oclock chain timing mark with crank drive cog on primary drive side//// drivers side head,,,, pull slack out of chain,,,, and rotate cam drive cog timing mark to 12 oclock chain mark!! then repeat on secondary drive side!! and boom your timed,,,, and as alwayse rotate the engine a few times to ensure your all good,,,, the cobras are a bit more intensive with the secondary cam cogs!! but no worries on the 2 v!!

well while getting the front cover on i discovered that the heads use 10 mm mounting hardware/studs and the romeo used 8mm. so none of the stock bolts that came out of the holes that were holding the front cover to the heads are gonna work. gotta call a ford dealer tomorrow or try to find some studs /bolts that will work in their place. I know i can get two napa bolts but the other 6 are studs so that sorta worries me a little.

I layed the valve covers over the heads for the night. i'm done for today. my dream of getting it running tonight are definatly not going to happen with missing bolts/studs.

Hopefully theres a ford dealer that has these in stock.

for a sencond there i thought you stole my blower....LOL but that kicks ass man, can wait to see the numbers on the car...

 

[joker]

it does sound like there a blower in it for a sec lol

 

[Lordgufi]

mebbe on camera.

in person it sounded like a audible dogwhistle

the hose that was disconnected was the one on the back side of the throttle body.

had no idea where it went since the other side of the hose angled downward of the car

found it and plugged it in. Good to go. no whistle. took it around the block a couple times. never got it over 3k rpm though. which is where these cams start to make their power

 

[02gt]

you should try and data log evry thing just to check things out....

 

[Lordgufi]

will probably tomorrow some time after some one comes to help me reinstall my damn hood

at least the valve covers are nice and flashy.... have a reason to pop the hood now rofl

 

[joker]

lmao they do look good and the car sounds good too

 

[02gt]
