I checked my cam timing and found out that it was of with the stock cam gear.
At a D16z6 and D15z1 it should look like that
but it looked like this when the crank is at TDC
So i used an adjustable cam gear to get it to the right specs.
Crank TDC
Cam @ +4°

motor build looks sweet, quick question, how come you didn't upgrade any of your internals? or at least freshen them up.

Can't believe I have never seen this post before. This is an amazing inspiration. I was very close in buying a DC2 for a DD and stop spending on the EG. After reading through this entire post, I'm not buying a DC2 any longer, I'm going to continue to carry on with my EG project.
You have definitely inspired me with your efforts!
One question (which is probably a stupid question), if your EG was not an import, how come you have rear SIR panels? Obviously you would of purchased them, but I heard that they will not fit into another EG, only an import chassis. Am I correct? I love the rear seats folded down, one of the main reasons why I should of purchased an import. On the other hand, if you managed to fit the import rear seat and panels into a standard EG, the brilliant!
Amazing car, such an inspiration!

There is no need for an upgrade, stock rods and pistons will hold up to 220hp and this is a number the engine will never see. My goal is to keep it simple and cheap so i decided to work with stock parts where its possible. I just rehoned the bore and put new bearings and skrews in it so thats for refreshing. This combo will raise my compression from stock 9,2:1 to 11,3:1 with stock parts
@iChrist
To get the SIR into my ride i had to cut the upper brakets that are weldet to the domes, weld a new braked in the rear where the backpart combine and welded new hex nuts into the flor.
And thank you for the kind words!

Freshed up the gearbox so it suits the hole engine theme. Used a wire brush on a hand drill and sandblasted it before the heatpaint came on it.
