    Spec my cam please! 4.1 N/A build

    Bummer I hope Ed is ok, I'll check too. I remember him saying he had the lift increased some on his roller version of the KB mk2r. It's a 108 lobe center .494 IN .506 EX lift 292 IN and EX duration

    Blowthrough build repeat.

    Ooo it almost got me, I thought the 1st cam bearing was installed wrong and almost pressed it out as the oil hole is random. I then looked at it from block side where brass oil T goes. It's grooved! press on with assembly 😄

    Help identifying turbo

    Some version of te44 as you suspect with 58mm inducer. Pull the turbo or downpipe and study the turbine for the full identity.

    I wonder if this is a GM rebuilt engine, it has .040 over turbo pistons with the steel inserts, I believe the bearings are gm and standard. The rods appear to be installed backwards but it has been running this way, standard turbo crankshaft.

    Actually my mistake cylinder 6 was leaking coolant and the turbo was bad. The bores are really nice at this size, looking in the bottom end next.

    While it's in good shape the new to me engine has bores enlarged more than I prefer. It's .040 over, so I will to use it as is. It had GM shim steel head gaskets on it and cylinder 5 was leaking some water into the bore.

    8445 oil test heads from g body parts good or bad?

    I have a set of these stage JR heads, they were good heads and the best ported versions I had.... Until one intake valve popped the head of the valve off and destroyed it. Not the heads fault, they are good iron parts.

    80 Crossover Pipe to Stock Manifold leak?

    There's no gasket or donut used on the crossover to manifold connections. Does the crossover fit ok on the manifolds before before you slip the flange up? A lot of us use a film of high temp RTV on the mating surfaces. Perhaps a misalignment or damage on the taper.

    Blowthrough build repeat.

    Picked up another complete engine to help get the Regal back up. An '83 turbo 3.8, I'll strip it down and make it the new blowthru testing mule. Need to check the bottom end but I have two sets of Speedpro steel piston rings to use this time, it will get the 206 roller cam setup and topend from...
