I need to pick up a few tools to be able to time my cams on my 6cyl. engine.
The z-block seems to be easy to find but I am having a bit of trouble finding a dial gauge. I am guessing it measures cam lift but in metric but what does it measure mm? Is there a preferred type that will function with the z-block? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) |

Oil fed are $515. That is the lowest price I can or could find. Every one wanted $700. Or more for a full set. Question is just get boxes from a later car or do this light machine work to what I have. Not 100% clear. They say spacers but there is also some one saying that my old chain cases are not right. The shop next door that is putting on my flairs and doing my paint just bought a SC that has the tensioners go out. I sold them my set and got another set from the same people. This SC 82 was making a chain noise and they got it for no money. Put in the tensioners and new chain ramps and it is good to sell. Now.
Well worth the money. If you lose the tensioners (and they all go out at one point,) you can blow your engine if you do not hear it time. It has happened to more that one person. In the old day (25 years ago) before they where around I went for mechanical tensioners because I was afraid they might go out and kill my engine but today we have no excuses. I would hate to blow an engine at the costs Bob |
