motor build issues.......

[ashibah83]

so i went to my friends shop today to tear down my ka24de to start getting things rolling. i got the engine from a local junkard for $200, complete longblock, when i got the motor i was told that the car was was junked because it wouldnt start due to a "timing issue" and a "mechanic" who worked at Advance Auto Parts part time was trying to get it running but the car got towed because it was abandoned in front of the store, i cleaned it pretty good, took off all the accessories, oil pan, valve cover, and upper timing cover, i was working on getting the tensioners loose and after the uper one came loose i noticed this......i think i found the "timing issue", haha hey look a cam sproketoh.....that sucks

now i gotta decide on which cams i want to go with, i already know im gonna get new valves, stock specs, and new springs and retainers, not sure what brand yet, time to start researching cam specs and results.....maybe a custom grind

You should look into Brian Crower for your cams, very good quality and best price i've seen. they perform incredably good. i have them on my SR for almost a year now and have not had any problems.

ive looked a little at BC's stuff, there are some really mixed rviews, money isnt really an object, this is a long term project, im not by any means rich, im scrapping by now(paying for my wedding), but i want the best, in my views, for my goals, im gonna look into Kelford, BC, Jim Wolf, and some custom grinds

looks like my friends cam when his timing chain snapped

[Chris28]

Haha that seems to be quite a timing issue. ka-t.org is a great resource, I like where your head's at.

you should upgrade to a single cam
