[uberkevin]

Been a little while...

[Eagle_Adam]

Been on vacation....

[Eagle_Adam]

I dropped the newest cyl head off at my
Machinist to get the threads repaired!!! Once it's back it should be game on finally !!!!!

[Draynor]

Nice!

Dude who had the KA wanted to know if I had it in my car yet...

[Eagle_Adam]

Before:


After:


Once I get back from vacation I'll install the head and cams for what I hope to be the last time

[DRIVEN]

This feels like it's taking forever.

[flatcat19]

Vacation?

[Eagle_Adam]

Yup, first one in years

[flatcat19]

Yup, first one in years

Well, good for you, dammit.

[Eagle_Adam]

on a progressive note!


im back to ordering parts and thinking about my build.

Picked up a new set of these


so i can actually steer my truck in and out of the garage

then i need to get a longer bolt for to replace the stock one where i had the head heli coiled

install the new cams i got

adjust the valves

slot the trans cross member



THEN i can drop it in!

once its bolted in ive recruited Laecaon to do the wiring for the swap, install the new super secret "motor swap box", and do a wiring harness tuck.

once all of thats finally done it can go out for a new one piece drive line and exhaust



hopefully i can keep my canby list short for this truck this year.........

[Laecaon]

Yes.... I have some things on order... Still a couple more things... but Im feeling good!

[flatcat19]

Which cams?
Are you doing the Altima cam upgrade?

[Eagle_Adam]

No I picked up another exhaust cam so I'm gunna run duel exhaust cams

[Skeletonbonez]

Taking notes...

[flatcat19]

No I picked up another exhaust cam so I'm gunna run duel exhaust cams

No problems with that.

[Laecaon]

After my readings, that came back as the one cam swap I wouldnt touch.

[flatcat19]

The exhaust cam swap or the Altima cam swap?

Why?

[Laecaon]

Dual exhaust cam, Known as the 248/248 cam swap. You loose a ton of low range, a bit of mid range, and then your run out of revving before you take advantage of the cams. They would be better for Turbo, or if you were building a 8k rpm KA...

As far as Altima Cams go. Um, they arent different than stock S13 cams... Well ok the exhuast cam is timed a little retarded on the Altima, but same exact duration and lift as stock S13 exhaust. I dont get why people keep saying the Altima is an upgrade... Well I know, its an upgrade to the S14 which had 232/232 stock.

[DRIVEN]

Why you studying up on KAs? Isn't a CA an upgrade over a KA anyway?
