Yea Nick M that sounds about right. I got my terms mixed up. So when measuring from the base of the lobe to the shim those numbers were off. I used a feeler gauge to measure. Sorry for the mix up.

So i couldnt just buy shimless buckets that have the same spec as the over shim buckets? I have a couple that are within spec, couldnt I measure from the bottom of the bucket to the top with shim in and get the corresponding shimless bucket? Thanks for the fast reply

So today a buddy and I measured the clearances for my cams and they were way outta spec. I went through several extra shims that i had from other 7m heads and measured those but with no luck. Only about 2 of the clearances are in spec. So now the plan is to go shimless. I read a few threads...

Thats what I was hoping for lol. Just needed another opinion on the matter I guess. Id hate to have something go wrong and have to rebuild or anything of that matter.

Alright so i bought a built 7m shortblock. I was checking everything over to see if everything was the same as what i had been told and to see what condition everything was in. Everything checked out fine. Now when i turned my motor over on the engine stand when i was looking at everything i...

Ill keep an eye out, up in green bay.

Yup that's the one! There's the page I used as reference.

I believe you missed oil lines, going to the oil cooler.

I could get some more pictures for you and post them up, at work right now so ill get to it when i get home. Both Upper radiator and lower hoses. Unhooked my air conditioner lines. Throttle cable. Unhooked my wiring harness from the ecu rather then pulling every plug and clip. The turbo i...

Yea, the compression was really low and it was burning oil. I also have a spare block and parts that i plan on building so that just gave me the extra little push. Well this was my second time pulling a motor. I helped pull my friends honda prelude motor the week before this one, so i was really...

Well i dont quite have all the money saved up for the build yet, or any of the parts for that matter. Its more of a down the road sorta thing.

So yea as the title says i pulled my 7m-gte recently well like two weeks ago roughly. And i got some pictures of some of the progress. So i figured id show some pictures. Stay tuned for a build also!

woops got my terms all mixed up again, my mistake. But yea that's what I meant, as long as everyone knows what I mean haha. So the title should be cam bearings then?

Ill give Polk a check this weekend. Ill stop over there and ask some questions. Ill probably send the head to rich though for the line honing of the cam journals. But for the block and crank ill see what Polk can do, plus its fairly close so that's always a bonus. Supradjza80 what are you having...

I do not remember how worn outta spec the journals were unfortunately. I'm currently outta town so I can't check. I emailed rich at sip, and he gave me some prices and said he could do it. Supradjza80 if you could let me know on. What info you get from polk diesel that would be great. Thanks for...

Yup green bay wisconsin. I was gonna get my machine work done by baril machine. Ive heard from several people that they do good work. I asked them a whole bunch of questions and they answered them all nicely. He also showed me the machine that would have done the honing on the cams and why it...

Thanks for the recommendation! However i did pm him on here a while ago asking about this. But now that you mention it i dont think i emailed him on his private email. Woops haha. Ill definitely be contacting him soon then.

Fairly recently i brought a head to the machine shop to get some prices and to get a feel for the place. So he looked over the head and inspected it. He saw the cam journals and checked if they were within spec. Which unfortunately they were not within spec. And the journals could not be honed...

Gotta love the linux. :) I dont know what you did to make it not boot now, but if you get it back up and running, boot it up in safe mode. Then press windows key+R for the run command. In the "Run" Command box, type msconfig, then go to the startup tab, and uncheck all the boxes that look...

I figured that most of you have seen this already but oh well still some funny stuff
