The S14 has been down for two weeks now and it's absolutely driving me crazy. Especially with how damn hard it was pulling with those new cams before my valves f'ed up.

Sucks so bad to know I can't just go out there and drive it. Especially since there's an autocross here in town on the 19th and if it's not running again by then I am going to be quite upset.

I have pretty much everything unbolted and ready to go. Head gasket should be waiting for me at Advance Auto. Need to source another '91 exhaust cam rather quickly, though. Checking out the junkyard again Saturday. Other than that, I just need help actually pulling the head off. Hopefully this weekend.

I miss my car. :(

Hey drop that 232 s14 cam in girl... Its not all that bad, pulls nice and has a great mid responce. BTW Im running a 248-232 setup as well and I like it better then the 240-248 I had before. Still need another 248 as I took mine and dumped it into the intake with a bit of rotation. Its nice at the autocross and actually lowered begining of the upward pull 500 rpm sooner over the 240-248.

You can always swap the 248 back in at a later date.

If you need another exhaust gear I could ship you out one of my spares.

Dont forget to torque everything down this time :) And as always if you need any specs just ask...
