3v Budget Build

[Wes06]

however some have reported they didnt, so you just take a sharpie to the links on opposite ends when you lay it flat

I want to make sure I have the correct tooling to reset the timing. Anything else I need.

Cam degree kit, TFS 90000 needed
Adjustable lasher (in house)
Piston stop (in house)
Cam phaser bolts, needed
Crank bolt, (in house)
Crank sprocket, needed

if pulling the timing cover off, i would use new timing cover gaskets but thats just me. yes, you probably can reuse, but i would go with new.

Update, I spoke to the engine builder and explained what I had done to trouble shoot. Long story short he told me he was going to make it right.

Are pulling it out and taking it back to him to check it out as is?

 

[loots06]

No, I'm leaving it in the car to check it as is.

Well I got the timing figured out now its just tuning. I did drive the car but it's really difficult to drive. It cuts out when your drive and the RPM drops like a rock. Attached is a short vid at idle.

Glad to hear you got the timing figured out, what was the problem?

 

[loots06]

It was perfectly timed out of phase 180 degrees and perfect on the driver side. Now I'm working with Lito to dial in the tuning. The car sounds really good. I'm sure it would sound better without any cats but no can to in Cali just not worth the risk.

very glad you got it worked out! keep up with the updates. i remember when you first got the non intercooled whipple kit.

My car is running pretty good and has great power with cams that just don't quit pulling and apparently love sucking gas. I know I was going to lose some gas mileage but 8 miles per gallon just can't be right but maybe it is for the 127550 cams. Lol oh boy this is gonna be fun.

On another note I found a TR6060 that only has 6k on it. The only issue with the deal is that it's just the tranny nothing else. I have to find the shifter, cross member, DS, clutch, clutch line etc..they want $1500 for just the tranny hmmm. I found a one piece DS for a pretty good deal too.

Terrific that you got the timing squared away, now good luck dialing in the tuning!

I'm working with Lito on the tune now and just have to drive it a bit more.
