skyblue Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 So I've been breaking in the engine and everything is good. Except for a couple if things. One, I'm getting some pinging on the freeway when I have the throttle open all the way. I put premium and have the timing set to 8degrees. I put some Oreileys brand octane boosts and it still doesn't a little bit. I'm running flat top pistons and closed chamber A87 head( peanut head). Anyone have any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
r0p0doe Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 My thought, you should of gotten an l20b lol!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 did you set the cam timing the same way it was ? and I am guessing you didn't have this problem before the rebuild try 6 or 7 degrees if you cant make the ping go away Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think this is my bad..... With all the rush.............I marked the wrong notch on the crank pulley..... ..................just dawned on me today............. Now there's three things you shouldn't have me do....... :lol: 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted June 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 My thought, you should of gotten an l20b lol!!! Yes well that was the plan, but plans change. did you set the cam timing the same way it was ? and I am guessing you didn't have this problem before the rebuild try 6 or 7 degrees if you cant make the ping go away I'll have to consult with busta cause he took apart and assembled the engine. But I'm sure he did. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Ok so we came to the conclusion that in all the rush the wrong notch in the crank pulley was marked. So it wasn't at 8 deg, it was actually at 25 deg. Doh! So the right notch was marked and set timing to 16 deg. Pinging is gone now!! Now just have to adjust the fuel pressure and we're good to go.

freetheoranges Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Good to hear! I want a ride in the passenger seat this weekend. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Good to hear! I want a ride in the passenger seat this weekend.Haha. Ok. Fuel pressure is set, sorta. Gauge isn't reading correctly so we'll see how it goes. She's running great. Just have to grease up u joints, adjust valves and try to fix exhaust hanger. And a good and thorough wash. 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Very nice i hope you guys have a good time going, and safe trip to Canby. 2 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Still messing around with fuel pressure. The damn gauge is all over the place. Was reading 3.5 earlier. And finally installed the cig lighter. I can finally charge my phone! Mostly been tackling the little things. Running great! Breaking in quite nicely. 3 Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I bought a liquid filled gauge it was around 35 bucks and it sometimes reads 0 with a brand new factory fuel pump and the car has never run out of gas no matter how hard I drove it i FIGURED FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE IS JUST FOR FUN 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 I run a aeromotive liquid filled gauge and it works great. Quote Link to comment
