only got a few more parts to pick up and i should be good to throw in the 5 speed.

also my bro snaped a good quality pic of my footwork

i never said they WERE identical, i said i beleive they are ALMOST identical i couldnt remember wich gear was different and didnt want to give false information :thumb: plus unless your driving around in 5th gear all the time its not really going to matter all that much

EDIT: haha ooops i got the stams mixxed my bad.. hmm i could have sworn they were reversed...huh oh well live and learn

thanks brahh.

little update. got the head back from the machine shop .030" decked off the head. slapped on my valve cover and z6 IM just for shits and giggles.

Image

kinda woried about my piston to valve ratio but looking at the relifes in the b7 pistons. i think it might work. wanting to go to y8 2 layer headgasket now instead of z6. 10.2:1 vs. 10.5:1 hmmmmm

gonna clay or putty my pistons and check for valve clearance before im certain. my current head isnt coming off till the day of the swap.

By dawg316
- Thu Aug 30, 2012 5:17 pm #314609 well dropped the new head on yesterday. 10.5:1 compression, colt triflow stage 1 cam, stock valvetrain, golden eagle adjustable cam gear, and z6 intake mani

now for pics
starting the removal. indexed timing belt removed valve cover and other stuff. also a/c deleted a week ago. soo much more room to work, next mods gonna be ps delete
Image

exhaust mani off , trying to get the tensioner bolt loose. what a b@$% that was. rounded it in the proscess had to buy a socket tool that removes them. Image
^^^^ swear by that tool. saved my ass yesterday

dropped the head, began cleaning the surface ( really important step !!)
also applied some copper sealant spray on my headgasket to help it seal.
Image

and a shot of my diy work bench seeing how i dont have one, gonna build one sometime soon.
transferring all my intake mani junk from one mani to the other.
Image


pics of my fleet. 65 impala 4 door. gotta rock a 4 door :p
Image

and for the best part
Image
230 inline 6. rebuilt the head not even a month ago. used same paint on the civics valve cover. VHT copper engine paint.



so after the install. she fired up by quickly died. advanced the dizzy timing and she ran right. took it for a drive still low on power , needs more timing. gonna play with my cam gear. got it set on 1* advance. ( rotated counter clockwise towards radiator) but i have a feeling i retarted it? the center of the cam gear is what turns but the outside stays stationary. wanted to run 2 degrees advance to compensate the milled head. but unshure how to get more adjustment. only can adust it 1 degree. do i have to back out all the bolts and move it???

gonna try to dial it in today. runs slow but drives fine. low rpm as well. should have it running mint tonite. and ready for rippppppers !!!!! :woot:

- Sat Sep 01, 2012 2:13 pm #314772 Update. Dam injectors leaked like a mofo. Took 3 trips down to the parts store for o-rings and 1 trip to the junkyard for an injector. After spending the day fixing it . Took it for some rips. Seems like I got a low idle issure. Probably being caused by bad vacuum. But besides that she runs fine. Still need to dial in that cam gear tho. At idle u can't even hear the cam. Cam pulls good past redline but by limiter cuts me off by then. Time for a tune?

By dawg316
- Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:21 pm #315098 went to the dyno today. car runs alot smoother idles good now and would deffs recomend it.

first pull was around 91hp not what i was hoping for. my tuner bumped it up to about 101, which was soon followed by 118, then at the end managed to get it to around 120hp. thouhgt to do a little test and drop the power steering belt and got another 3 hp across the hole powerband with it.

123hp and 104ft torque

- Wed Oct 10, 2012 5:01 pm #317648 finaly got around to scanning my dyno sheet. time for an exhaust and header.

Image


checked my oil a few days ago and it was realy low. ontop of that so was my coolant. hope it isnt coming out from the head gasket. also my brand new clutch cant stand the abuse of a decent launch so thats got to go.

im thinking new build next year....?
