    Head install question- please look inside

    Oz, thanks so much- I appreciate your thorough ness- my heads are ped mount though, no stud- sooooooo wouldnt it be true that as I bolt down each rocker- if it were open on the OEM heads, then as I bolted it down the rocker would open the new head's valve since the lifter for that valve will be...

    Head install question- please look inside

    yea, but they are new assembled heads with valves already on- both intake and exhaust on all 8 cylinders are all the way against the underside of the head (IE closed)so when my original question is still - cant I just bolt down the rockers to the appropriate torque spec and be done? no need to...

    Stock fuel pressure settings...

    ok, the rubber vac line should be plugged when checking pressure not the metal nipple on top of the Fuel pressure regulator correct? this would be the "vacuum off" procedure right?

    Head install question- please look inside

    I am putting on brand new GT40P heads and need to know if I would need, for any reason, to turn engine over by hand for any reason? I assume not since the valves on the head are arlready closed so installing the roller rockers will not require me to turn the engine over to move the valves...

    Fuel System Upgrade... learned a lesson...

    so if the FRP is only good at WOT- that is what - <1% of your driving time? bottom line- your computer is programmed to run a set FP and will alter the settings done to it to get it back to those pre-wired settings- when you increase pressure you will richen up the combustion= when the computer...

    Fuel System Upgrade... learned a lesson...

    all cars run richer - ie more FP - when cold, then when the car is warmed up the computer leans it out slightly for emissions reasons and drivablilty.... what you state is what all cars do- there is nothing wrong about that- :rolleyes:

    Fuel System Upgrade... learned a lesson...

    Guys- the reason why the pressure drops is not because the FPR is faulty- it is because the computer is set at a predetermined Air to fuel ratio- so even if you set your pressure to 80PSI once the car starts and warms up the computer will lean down the injector pulse WAY DOWN to get the AFR back...

    Rear springs turned and seated a certain way??

    you shouldnt need to adjust it at all- with my rear disk swap the stock ebrake handle works just like it did with the drums and all I did was swap the stocker cables for the FMS ones and left the center cable and handle sprocket mechanism stock- it works fine for me- you shouldhave left the...

    anybody have any problem's passing visual part of inspection without smog pump???

    the air pump into the Hpipe allows air to merge with the CO which causes a chemical reaction creating H2O and CO2- carbon dioxide and water are much less harmfull them carbon monoxide and that is the reason for the air tube going into the H pipe
