My old car here?

I have been out of the 240 scene for a long time but was wondering if my old car was still around these parts. I had one of O&J's first manifolds for a 240 single cam with a GT30. Just wondering if whoever has it, is still rocking the single cam. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/KingKong82...

The DE HG can be used but you need to modify it. i.e. cut off the front timing cover portion and use rtv in that part on the ka24e

The last post mentions something about the TPS plug being wired in so you dont have to hack up the stock harness.

OEM water pump, oil pump and timing chain. Don't screw your build up cuz you bought a cheap timing kit.

ARP Head studs too while you have it apart.

I was sent DE head studs from AMS when I ordered their rebuild kit. When I went to torque down the studs it ripped the threads out of the block because there was not enough stud threaded into the block.

Stick with the SOHC.

So if the head is warped it's not trash? you can just resurface it to be flat? I would think all the valve seats and things would be affected and not seal properly.

When a head warps can it just be resurfaced?

I would get the head and block checked for flatness. If you blew the HG there could be a chance the head warped. If it did then the cometic wont seal correctly.

I think I figured out the culprit.

While swapping my spark plugs for the third time I realized that the number 4 plug only threads in about half way so I think I'm only running on 3 cylinders.

Low RPM Stuttering

So I'm running a stock single cam motor. Between 2k and 3k rpms it stutters like crazy with just a little bit of throttle. It's like power on, power off, power on etc. If I put the pedal to the floor it goes away or if I am above 3k rpms it goes away. I know the wires are good, the plugs look good a...
