BC springs are good for 11mm of lift and fit in the stock spring seats.

I've checked - viewtopic.php?t=15683&start=30#p104740

one problem with stroker kits, you tend to lose crankshaft strength because you lose journal overlap.

and packed in a 4 mil bag keeping it clean

Thanks for the pics. WOW, that spring comp., you've spent a LOTTA time with it even if you do the removal with a hammer & socket! Weld a nut & use your drill?? / Also, a nicer surface might increase its sellability. The surface has been machined... .004". I'll get a photo tomorrow........

For sale: OST-105, a 2nd gen standard valve bigport head. Fully ported, and rebuilt using new viton rubber valve seals, and BC valves springs (good for cams with upto 10mm of lift) $1300 + shipping - NO CORE REQUIRED https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/normal_ost-105.jpg nicely po...

Not a fan of test beds for engine break-in. You can't put a load on them to properly break in the rings.

sure....

been slowly gathering parts.. so far i have some cams, and a whole rotating assembly. my cylinder head needs some work so im sending it into a machine shop soon. so i was thinking i might as well have my exhaust and intake ports shaved and polished too, does anyone have any advice about this? there...

Web no longer offers new cams, they do offer their hardweld service - this welds new material to the lobe so they can be reground without loosing "base circle". They are not cheap (currently listed for $1050 per pair) Just for discussion purposes..... Cat offers a 252/222 cam with 8.5mm li...

Some recent doings........ 3 different heads... top is a silvertop 20V, middle in a 3TC intake manifold, and bottom is a 1GGE https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/normal_intake_short_radius_before_after_2_panel.jpg https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/manifold_wel...

stock early cams are 204 degrees at .050, later cams are 198. Duration at a specific lift is a more accurate measure of a cam then "advertised duration" As far as the Cat cams are concerned, I can also get matched sets (same duration for both). Stock cams stop making power at 6600 rpm. The...

Not sure why I haven't seen this thread before......... If your budget is correct, "3500-4000 $ budget" you will be tough pressed to build much. A 7AG would add a bit more as well. I'd recommend you start listing the costs of all you have mentioned, add in rebuilding parts (bearings, pumps...

Another not a fan for a 7AG 20V, the intake valves are too small, compared to a fully ported big valve largeport head. also the TRD F/A ITBs don't require an adapter for use on a largeport head. I wouldn't want to see the air flow disruption with an adapter that goes from the long wide TRD ITB to th...

The engine is done........... ;) But there are some updates.... 1) I managed to score an OEM 85amp alternator... in working order! https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/test_fitting_mounts2C_alt2C_starter.jpg 2) The engine does "fit".... kinda (larger photo) - http://galle...

Congrats! As you know, I'm going a bit older in my Toyota story.... but I DO understand the move forward

try Traum??

Not sure if you realize the outer holes are where the injectors fit. The only bolt holes are between the ports - either side. As far as supercharging this, it was an option when I began 3 years ago.... but one of my searches found a boosted one that may have caused liner shift @ about 400hp. Remembe...

installed a roll pin so that I could set the T/B on to the 5V manifold. Once pinned, I scribed the new opening, and opened it from 65mm, to 70mm/ https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/normal_intake_manifold_and_Ford_70mm_throttle_body_fitted_showing_roll_pin.jpg full size image - ht...

It's getting closer.... A bit further.... while the thermostat is essentially the same, the t-stat housing/coolant outlet gasket is only 5V, so I bought ($6) some gasket material and made one. https://gallery.ostportworks.com/albums/userpics/10005/normal_T-stat_housing_and_gasket.jpg https://gallery...

Getting low on popcorn here! It is getting near the end..... although it might be another year(?) before it actually runs...... :o If you remember about 3+ years back..........(3/27/20) So... with the timing cover and water pump gaskets now in hand... that means we have nearly all the gaskets we'll...

Do you know of one for sale?

I have a few 4age heads. send me an email and I'll be happy to discuss it.

oldeskewltoy@yahoo.com - title it "ita racer"

there might be a set out there.... I had a tough time finding a set 13 years ago........ You do have options. 1) get a custom made piston - Traum can make you a set for about $700 2) you could use Molnar Technologies "smaller" rod (40/20) - about $440 a set, and then use a set of smallport...

I can get you new........

Cat cams makes a 252 advertised, 222@1mm, with a cam lift of 8.5mm

Hi all try to look for the article of Jeremy Ross, regarding the 4AGE ECU "lifting the lid"' it has a lot of information. USDM ecu are wired in batch, European and the rest of the world, must of them are wiring in the loom together. kind regards http://gallery.ostportworks.com/displayimag...
