I still don't know what the problem is. A bunch of ideas and discussion has been going on in the build thread.

A lot of this stuff doesn't make since only because it comes and goes..... First start up - noise was not there and idle was fine 15-20 sec of running time http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta7sn_6_JKA Second start up - it was super noticeable and also when the idle went to shit. Third...

The machine shop did it last...

What would happen if the cams were installed on the wrong side? Exhaust cam on intake side and vise versa?

Can't check for codes till tomorrow the check engine light only came on when the motor was about to chug out. Flashed on then shut off Tps has not been messed with Not sure how to check the cam cranks timing.

The stock cams are still in it the 264's come in at the end of the month

I get the car back tomorrow I will check the timing as soon as I get it back. Which video are you talking about http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uXJNyV6g2uE http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4OISQZ-snc4

No stethoscope but I can get on. How do I check the valve clearance ? I really don't want to break the seal on the head gasket.. Can I reuse the stock metal head gasket on the 1j ? Or will indeed to locate another?

I was thinking and talking about this last night also. The engine speed was 400-450rpm at lowest and was bouncing too 550-600rpm whiteout me touching throttle then I would give it gas to around 900rpm Also everyone ones opinion and thoughts are welcome and appreciated

11.5 is perfect 10.8 to 11.5 is pretty safe under full throttle.

If the piston was hitting the head wouldn't the sound be constant not intermittent ?

The concept of 550/lex arm mod is that they are both 25% increases over the stock components so no tuning is required but however this sometimes is not the case. A piggy back can be used but standalone is better. Mart pro is the best piggy back on the market in my opinion. Maftpro.com

Just don't end up in my situation. I think kaizen builds motors.

Should I still tear it apart ? I'm at a loss on what to do next. Tearing it apart and finding nothing wrong would suck lol.

It's a just in case....

plugs look good and you can not hear it while cranking with no plugs I will not be taking any legal action against anyone. I'd rather cut my loses and learn my lesson and keep truckin along
