5ksev

i think i understand it.. ill just chuck the cam in for now, then slowly do the other things

well I'm running 10:1 compression 2 1/4" exhaust with 4-1 extractors and a weber carby, pretty sure its that dvg or what ever

I don't want lumpy idle, due to being on my P's.. And also, it apparently peaks at 7500rpm.. I don't really want to be revving that hard, as Its not balanced.. Will it be to big for street driving? Or should I give it a go?

hey, i keep getting mixed feedback on this cam, its the tighe 104.. 25-65 270dur with .423 lift will it be to big for a 5k wich is 50/50 street highway driving.. what will it be like in low rpm? thanks

crow 4220's are what exactly? so just keep running stock for now, till they ^ arrive?

Why: Running a bigger cam, with .423 lift, when stock springs are max .4** lift.. The factory springs can't cope with that amount of lift.

I'm kinda tight on cash, but iv found some for $150 from tighe.. Is that a decent price?

now thats rust!

Hey, I'm in need of some hevy duty valve springs for my 5k engine.. I need to get them as my head and cam is getting worked.. Also too, it would be good if it was around the goldcoast area

Took the head in today, acid dipped decked to 10:1, Heavy duty valve springs New valve stem seals Decarboning my valves.. Picking it up tomorrow :)

I'm getting the tighe 20-60 260dur .423 lift.. Peak at 6500rpm As the most common is 25-65 270dur peak @ 7500.. I don't really want to be revving that hard, and itl be shit to drive on the street. So I'm going a tad smaller, as mentioned above.. Due to the fact that it's going to be a daily, with 50/50 street/highway

Tighe quoted me $210 to gring it to the hydro specs of what ever I wanted.. I'm going to keep running hydro, as I don't plan to rev over 8grand.. If you could give me the info to this other place, that would be good, I'll ring them in the morning

had a mate over today, and spent an hour or so stripping the interior, getting it ready for new carpet, and new bucket seats

yeah i know the stretch is to much, but oh well.. a good looking car isnt legal.. where is the meet at?

yeah they have crazy strech, so they fit perfectly in the guards.. but I'm going to pump my guards more.. just to cover a little more tyre.. and yeah, the plan is white paint, then black interior that way at night, all you see is the white ke :P shoould hopefully be on the road in mid january.. and nah, its got a 2 1/4" with some sort of muffler at the rear, with a 3" tip?

i want just the head though, not the entire cyl.. just trying to work out if my head has been shaved or not by the previous owner

went out and got a new top end gasket kit.. and got some quote's on my engine work.. $150 to shave my head to 10:1 compression $210 to grind my cam at " tighe " to the specs of: 20-60 260dur with 423 lift and then $80 for the gasket kit also, i have a cooling fan and shroud forsale, if anyone is interested, shoot me a text: 0432740324

yeah I'm sure your all getting over me posting stuff already, but i keep coming across things i didnt expect.. I'm trying to work out what the cc is in the combustion chamber of a 5k head.. just so i can tell if its been shaved before. if anyone know's or has a spare head laying around ( one that hasnt been shaved ) could you please let me know!

yeah 98, going to run a 20-60 cam with 10:1 compression.. how can i go by working out my compression now, without having to take the engine out.. due to it being on a lean?

thanks for that.. iv been talking to a few people, and due to being 50/50 on street/highway driving.. i was thinking the 25/65 270dur wich peaks at 7500.. so I'm going to go the 20-60 wich is 6500 peak.. and if its still to big, ill just go a little smaller.. cam grind is going to cost $200 for hyrdo lifters from tighe and iv also found a guy to shave my head. being 9.0 stock compression he wanted to run 9.5 but iv spoken to tighe and they have suggested 10:1.. so I'm going to get that @ the price of $150 also went out and purchased a new gasket kit

i do understand that.. but i really doubt ill end up with an acurate answer.. I'm going to a head place today.. they should be able to work it out for me hey?

hey, well hopefully today I'm going to take my head into town to get shaved for more compression iv got a 5k block and head.. but what I'm stuck on is, how do i work out what compression ratio am i running.. and what should i get it shaved to?

oh okay, well yeah I'm going to speak to my mate tomorrow ( mechanic ) because he's done a bit with carb'd and cams.. so ill see what he thinks.. I'm leaning towards going 25-65 270dur and if i don't like it.. ill just get a smaller one..

nah i was going to get a place in town to do it tomorrow. but yeah so a 2mm washer should be sweet. and ha yeah, well ill give it a go anyway, by saying " powerful " does it mean forced induction, or just inturnal mods like I'm doing? and if its too big for what i want, ill just get another cam and make it a 20-60 or something a little smaller then mentioned above

over the past couple days iv pulled the head off, and taken the cam out. i plan to shave & port the head, with new HD valve springs and the cam i plan to regrind.. i had 25-65 270dur in mind. highway and street driving will be 50/50 but will this cam be to big for street driving, although its a 5k not 4? and also, i broke one of my lifters trying to pull it out with plyers ( hydro ) i know there's a big debate.. but should i just replace it.. or keep the head off for longer and replace it with a solid conversion? some wheels i tried on :P the head the cam
