kzr750r1 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Nice packaging. Was listing things off for my build while taking the girl to play rehearsal... I'll see if she remembers daddy needs: water pump and gasket 52mm oil pressure gauge and send unit shit ton of smooth bore hose clamps of various sizes.

RooTBeeR Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Well, I might end up doing a real engine build using my stock block... after I get this one running and save enough money. So I plan to hang on to them for a while, but I might sell them too. I don't know.

MrTris Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/10/13/yqe6upyq.jpg Got this a few weeks ago I like that the instructions from MY member's product didn't include the words, "Install and use at your own risk" j/k, Mike.

RooTBeeR Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 If I have new heads and new valves, can I just lap the valves in, or do I need to take them to a shop to get a valve job?

Brian3676 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Depends...sometimes you can get away with just lapping, but the right way would be to get a valve job. My machine shop taught me to lay the head upside down and put liquid (he said mineral oil so it wont ruin valve seals) and let it sit overnight. Still there in morning, your proble safe, not there, you need a valve job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you close to m sprank ? ask him for advice. I agree, somethings are best left to the experts. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

Rhitter Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Aren't you close to m sprank ? ask him for advice. I agree, somethings are best left to the experts. m sprank owns a shop and seems to be swamped (which imo is a good thing) but asking him for free advice on forums when his livelihood depends on getting paid for that advice. I don't know just haven't got that sense recently that that's something he wants to be doing. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Outfront is much closer than Mike. I'd think Mike would be more upfront with that info than Outfront though.

MrTris Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Did you order OEM cams? Because I have another stock set I wouldn't mind getting rid of for cheap. . . They passed inspection at PIA, and I could have used them, but went with the STi ones instead. . . PM if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 yeah, I went ahead and got all new cams. My stock ones were a little scored, and the used ones that I got were not scored, but they were worn more than I I would have liked since I'm putting them in new head castings. I ended up paying about 150 per cam "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keenster Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Oh, Lordie! I woulda let you have my set for $100! I might take you up on this. Only because I worry about my cams. There seem to be some kind of scoring on my cams where they're held in place. But it's not huge at all. The lobes are perfect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
