This may be totaly stupid, but for people with nice heads and a cool valvetrain, wouldnt plexi valve covers be cool? As long as you changed the oil on time it should stay relativly clear after the cars been off a few minutes
its not fubar just from the timing being out some strype take your time stay in the tech section and i mean i kno it's stangnet but corral has some friggen awesome tech guys id check there aswell.
Don't feel bad. I have gas and oil in my exhaust, too ... gas from the thing periodically running pig-rich (I think one or two of the injectors likes to stick open for the first minute or so), and oil because I've got so much ring wear and blow-by. Must be a common thing with black notches, or something.
That b303 cam bogs down with the factory 3.08 gears. I have to keep the car above 2,000 rpm or she starts to jerk a bit. Took awhile to figure out that the timing has to be advanced higher than factory settings. I was expecting to lose some low end but I didn't. It feels like a normal bolt on car until you hit 3,500 rpm.
Still feels a bit slow for the combo. Something's not right. I bet that the injectors, fuel pump and 3.73's will wake it up. It will definately put you in the seat tho.
---> Let my neighbor drive and he hit 2nd hard. Got out and the driver's door wouldn't shut... You have to lift it up now
I'm not sure how that cam compares...but mine jerks alot at low rpm's as well. I have 3.55 gears and it doesn't seem to help any. I tend to just keep it in a lower gear and be nice and loud with it
Thats why i'm still rocking a stock cam and have no desire to change. I get the urge to have that lopey idle, but i have had so many fox's with cam's and had nothing but driveability issues with all of them.
