so while i wait for my other goodies to turn up and spend more money on other goodies *rolls eyes* ... I thought id start on the old engine and take off the bits i needed. Plenum, fuel rails, rocker covers, throttle bodies etc. Then i thought i would start pulling it apart and inspecting to determine cause of the noise i had leading to my rebuild... After getting a look at my cams its leading me to believe it is lower down.. (bottom end) My cams actually look in rather good condition, On a side note.. MY GOD !!!.. how restrictive are the stock dumps!!! .. its like a 90 degree bend with a restriction in pipe size!... i mean i knew they were bad but actually seeing them in person upclose now gives me a proper idea. ALSO, my turbos appear in good condition, no shaft play, sight but of oil present in the intake pipes. but otherwise good.
I've got a set of stock dumps here too, thought the same thing. Looking good by the way Procky, can't wait for this to be back on the road!

I think it is normal, I remember reading a thread where someone had to flush out one if his side mounts because it was drowning in oil...
THAT'S not normal, that was blown turbo oil seals. PCV's actually only blow oil into the intake manifold, so it's unlikely
NEWEST ADDITION to my build Brand spanking new lifters That is all Hopefully Ill have a more substantial update and pics next week
c'mon man. the race is on. Alan and I have his motor stripped completly and ready to start reassemble. How far along are you?
Well if I had to put a time frame on it I'd say 4weeks away - quickest part will be putting the engine back in with it's new flywheel and clutch
official update ok so now i can do a proper update... block is done! heads are completed and all being bolted together then its just fitting the external modifications and supporting mods. PICCIES FOLLOWING.. (brief overview) .40 thou oversize pistons, (88mm) eagle rods combustion bowl work and portwork 1mm oversize valves JWT valve springs new lifters Bearings JWT400+cams :br::br::br::br::br::zlove::zlove::zlove::zlove:
It's so clean ! God I love reconditioned/modified motors. Like porn but you can show your mrs. You must be champing at the bit to get started.
