Re: Rebuild Time - First Startup Vid on Page 167!!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
You'd hear me coming a mile away the way my valves are chattering right now!
Just took her for her first test drive. Valve lash needs to be re-adjusted so I'll futz with that tomorrow. The intake noise of the turbo has changed too, I think that may be the larger, smoother piping of the intake though. Will poke about when things cool down a little.
But I was good to her, only 6 psi and didn't go above 4K on the old tacho!

It's not clattering as loud as I'm making it out to be on the forum, it just needs to be adjusted. I set it when the head was off the car and I was guessing on the TDC points by the cam lurch. It will be more accurate this time around.

^hahahah.......my mechanics thought that was hilarious....because I actually wore a pink polo one day.....they still give me shit to this day....so you actually hit it spot on!!!
My valves were noisy too after first start up even though I had em in spec....I usually run it for awhile......let it cool down...and recheck...I found 2 that had loosened up on me..

Re: Rebuild Time - First Startup Vid on Page 167!!! - The Speedfoos' Turbo Thread!!
wow you guys are off your rockers. seriously tho, after following this thread since like page 50. if i had a spare engine lying around, i'd have no worries trying to at least put a turbo in (while i'm certainly mechanically inclined, i've never done any engine work). mad props to all the info in this thread (except the bits about pink tees and the like)
he sure would be....especially by me...until he flys by and my face ends up like this
