Can this work or no? Because Im not sure if I have stock valve springs or not. the guy that owned the car before me put in BC stage 2 cams but im not sure if he put in better springs.

The problem im having is oil burning when i let off the gas and down shifting. So im going to get new valve seals. But im not sure about the springs. Im really tight on cash. What do you guys think??
Thanks

I recently bought a car with stock cams with fidanza gears, has anyone done this combo before? like using aftermarket gears on stock cams and tuning them.

I have the dcr billet tensioner with the gates timing belt I have about 3000 miles on my build. Is the tensioner bad?? It was good for about 2000 mile but now I have to tighten it every 200 miles..:flame:

Are the crower cam specs found on their website correct?

I currently have a built 2.4 from a stratus in my Shadow that uses a slightly ported/cleaned up head with 2.0 cams. Going off my mph in the 1/4 I'm currently making close to 475whp @ 28psi with 116 octane fuel. A dyno with 23psi and ~100 octane fuel gave me 403@6400RPM.

I would like to build a head this winter to aid in increasing the power, so I'm trying to decide on cams. Looking at the crower specs, it seems that the older heads have a different rocker ratio than the new ones. All the neon cam stage specs put the ratio at ~1.75 (intake and exhaust) for the older heads. When trying to see what the SRT4 rocker ratio is, none of the numbers match between cam stages. So now I don't know whether to take the lobe lift of an SRT4 cam to get the total lift with the 1.5 ratio or back convert from the total lift with a ratio I don't know to find the lobe lift and then reconvert to what I will see with a given cam.

So if the answer to the question in the first sentence is "no", do I believe the lobe lift values or the total lift values? It it's the latter then does anyone know what the SRT4 rocker ratio would be to get the lobe lift? Or am I completely undertanding this wrong?

Was wondering what the big turbo guys that are running these cams have them set at on the intake and exhaust.

How many times can you resurface a head??? talking about maybe takin off .005-.007 each time you resurface.

I always heard .001 x number of cylinders is MAX warp. If its over its wise to resurface it.

Just wondering if you average .005 every time you resurface, how much can u take off our head before you need to start lookin for a fresh head?

already resurfaced once, took about .008 off, did not really notice a CR difference.

ok all i have done it COI, BFMIC, Borla CBE. i am planning on getting my head ported and polished. i have heard that i will actually lose power and not gain anything. is it good for the turbo, bad for the turbo, does it really matter, what kinda gains would i be looking at, and if i was to lose power would i have to upgrade the turbo?

from mopar performance. I know that these will fit the 2.4 but how much of a PITA will it be to install? I have searched the FAQ's for some pro's/ cons on them and would like to find out if the PITA is going to be worth it. also any wear on the cams ? thank you in advance.

got belt off, put new belt on and did two full rotations, when crank is at TDC the ca gears are now not alligned, exhaust has moved CC for the correct position, what do i need to do, eveything was alligned before belt removal and nothing moved during installation of the belt, at least i dont think anything moved, so i dont understand how this happend.

please help...

thanks

so i got my head off my car and would like to build it up to rev at around 8k i was wondering what parts i would need to do this i am going to get it ported and polished but what else should i replace and is there a better head gasket i can get and should i get it cryogenically frozen. Also i am not going to do cams right now. Also with parts can you give me part names and i would like the info from some one who has had the parts on the car. THANKS ALOT i now that just building up the head will not let ur car rev to 8k i just need it to be able to handle 8k

hey guys. im in the process of building a wild "street" car for fun and some track use. im buildin a 2.4 for it with a 60 trim on it. here a basic run down of what im planing

-2.4 built with weiseco pistons, rods to be determined
-Amm box manifold
-nice exhaust mani with 60 trim(20-25 lbs)
-rc 1000's backed by either a bosch setup or twin walbro like it is now
-100 percent meth kit
-60 mm tb
-ported head
-no driver friendly options ( ac, ps, heat, )
-mega squirt
-3.55 trans ( yea im a first gen)(wanna buy my 3.94!!??)
-bla blah blah watever else goes with a build

my question is since i am planning on making good power should i stick with the crower3's i have from another project or should i go 2's. i plan to rev to 7500 rpms. car should weigh about 2300 lbs maybe a hair less and im shooting for whatever the fastest i can go is. POST YOUR SUGGESTIONS PLEASE TY

WTF? Are these cams suppose to lope pretty damn hard, or what! :wah?!:

Recently traded a member for some 2.0 cams, and after putting my fully built head on, the cam is just crazy...timing is dead on, and I'm on stock gears....Just wondering.

Well, finally got my car running, she sounds good with the new cams, built head etc. :) One problem....I'm leaking oil pretty bad from the exhaust cam seal.....Now, when I put the new cam seals on, I noticed one slide on the cam with ease, and the other was really tight to get on....wonering if the seal is suppose to be pretty hard to slide on the cam, or should they slide on with ease...little force.

I'm replacing my head gasket and i noticed the cams had some rust on them. I tried to clean them and i found pits under the rust and i was told that i'm going to need new cams. I was also told that i have to get new rockers and lifters with the cams also. Is that true? Is that the only option? I found a set of stock used cams but i need to find out if the info is correct.

Also while im in to the motor, what are some things i should do while im there. This is my daily so i'm not looking to build the motor but if the are somethings that are a pain to get to when they break it my make sence to fix it now. Any suggestion please.
