Ok ever since my rebuild the motor has smoked, after trying everything in the world, I sent the turbo off to limit and got it rebuilt. That cured the smoke problem 100 percent!! Yeah I was so happy!! Took her down the road yesterday and got on it, after a few seconds things went very wrong, started barely running , thank goodness I was right in front of the house so I got it turned around and back to the shop. Pulled the drivers side valve cover off because of some clicking I could hear and CRAP!!!!!!!! All 3 of the bolts that hold down the rocker arm shaft had pulled the heli coils out of the heads [GN1 alums] Going to see if I can find studs for them somewhere and put them in, think I am going to cross drill them and put in roll pins also to pin them in or a set screw. Wish I had just used my steel heads as these are really pissing me off to no end grrrrrrrrrr. Thanks guys , just had to vent some, if you are looking for another toy , you missed out yesterday, when this happened I was so pissed if someone had came up with 10 grand it would have been yours on the spot!!! Trust me , you couldn't build my car for 10 with all thats in it by a long shot! Daniel Ray
