Default It's official: My engine is hosed.

I checked the alignment of my cams again when I got RKA's (Via Rob) cam bar today. Big hole goes on the inside, D'oh. My passengers side bank was 180deg off so no matter what some valve impacted somewhere. I confirmed this by rotating it back to its proper position and feeling the tension and release of interference.

Good news: Those of you who contacted me regarding parts on my existing motor should be getting them pending my inspection of the newer motor.

Oh, I'm pressing the "Big red button" for help next week on this motor pull. You know who you are

It probably has an S4 block, but I like the higher CR anyhow

Default On 93/94 octane using clearanced turbine housings his KVs are probably

very low, so the cr should just be a help versus a hindrance. Especially with his dinky turbos.

Default ;-) When I get them. I'm still waiting on the bumpies and trying to

get the 2.8 heads rebuilt for less than the cost of a new car. Jacob is selling me his rs4 mani so you know....I should use it and all. ;-)

Does your new motor have the larger port heads as well?
