Swapped the leaky pan gasket for a new leaky pan gasket mad

Took it for a test drive. Trans works great, shifts well. Holds gears downshifts when asked 2. All good.


Still runs at 210*+

Also my exhaust seems to be insanely hot. It's not glowing despite how the picture looks, but it sure has rainbowed... this is back about 2 feet from the rear axle. I'm really starting to think something is seriously wrong with this motor.

A degree wheel? I have that, is there a less invasive way to do? Or does the timing chain have to come off?

Seems I could do based on the balancer and the micrometer thingy, with a degree wheel on the crank balancer.

You can just pull the valve cover and do it... put the wheel on but you need to find TDC... you can do
that in the #1 cyl turn the crank both ways to find TDC if you know what I mean then use the rocker
to find the max lift before and after(I use... .050both sided of max lift) then see what you have

If your using a hydraulic flat tappet cam and lifters you need to use a solid flat tappet lifter, any roller will mess the readings up on cam timing and maybe the LSA also, maybe not though on that confused

ill fab up some silly metal bracket to hold the push rod.

Yes you can,,, big deal if it starts at a different point.. it just needs to repeat(not stick in the bore)

I got to check the cam timing today.

i checked it 3 separate times readjusting the dial indicator each time- just to check and see if my results were repeatable.


The cam card call for the cam to be installed at 112* intake centerline

3 times I came up with 114*

what will this make the engine do?

also here are the cam specs-
intake- exhaust
.505 .514

duration at .050
230 240


I think this cam may be a bit 2 big for this motor.

You may want to advance it a few degrees to pick up some torque
