    Valve Lash?

    Ok... I gave up on chasing **** and assumed it has to be a gasket... so I tore the motor apart. Well I started at least. So far just got the upper/lower intake off and the gaskets look solid there. So I should be able to rule that out. Not that anyone was saying it was that but still i'm...

    Valve Lash?

    :( I have no clue what is going on. Any any ideas can be helpful. I don't know if this will help or not this happened outta the blue after I hit the brakes hard. Was testing a new brake setup.

    Valve Lash?

    Out of Ideas...ready to put a stick of dynamite in the gas tank. I'm just about to give up on my car. I can't seem to figure out why there is smoke coming outta my drivers side tail pipe. Some does come from the passenger but prolly only what it picks up from the H-Pipe. The car runs good...

    What kind of cam should I suggest...

    Do rockers... Too much work for just a cam and 5HP's. I would even do an intake over a cam in his boat. Way less labor and close price. Don't forget to check clearances! E303 Ford cam may not be bad for stock replacement. Tell him to save for H/I/C then do it oh and if you go that route...

    White Smoke out the Tailpipe!!! Frustration Level High!

    Fuel It's Fuel Ok this white smoke is an extremely rich car. I should have known this before I parked it but I hate to run the car in a status like that. So I retorqed it all to spec. Ran the car again and here is the smoke again. At idle of 1100RPM's there isn't much to see as soon as i...

    White Smoke out the Tailpipe!!! Frustration Level High!

    If you are referring to the engine builder let me try to explain what I was told. The idea is that if the intake is at 14lbs it will not exert too much outward pressure on the heads. Too much pressure on the heads yields to more blown head gaskets. This is something that I was told like 2...

    White Smoke out the Tailpipe!!! Frustration Level High!

    Yah I'm thinking this 3rd time of retorqing I will go higher then 14lbs and risk blowing a head gasket as the engine builder tells me.

    White Smoke out the Tailpipe!!! Frustration Level High!

    Thanks PoopDawg, I will try again. I'm told again by my engine builder to do 14lbs. Hell, I don't know what to do as this is like the 3rd time I'm retorqing this stupid intake. The water in the booster is that even possible?

    White Smoke out the Tailpipe!!! Frustration Level High!

    Well thats a good theory but believe me that's not how it went down. It happened within seconds of hitting the brake and not before. I also had a friend in the car who was with me and can attest to that. Not to mention I made sure there were no cars behind me. So I checked my rear view...

    White Smoke out the Tailpipe!!! Frustration Level High!

    ok Guys thanks for the input... Well I will try that this saturday... I will see if any of them are loose. Fawk, I tightened them down not long ago. Well I got 90% water in my car for coolant at the moment. Would that still give off a smoke like that? So you guys thing it's just...

    White Smoke out the Tailpipe!!! Frustration Level High!

    Little background... So I just got done fixin smoke out one drivers side tail pipe. Had to retorqe my intake and the problem went away. Per my engine builder I torqued the intake to 14lbs. Now things were fine and smoke was gone. However, I had some vaccum brake assist problems. My gauge...

    Vacuum in 5.0 at idle?

    What are the workarounds? The strange thing was my brakes used to work fine with this cam but then all the suddenly they don't. I didn't have a guage to see how much vac I had but I see about 10. I tried revving the car up and got like 15+ and the brakes didn't seem to change.

    Vacuum in 5.0 at idle?

    What kinda vacuum pressure should I expect at idle? At what point does low vacuum affect the brakes in a neagtive way? At 1200RPM's i was seeing 9lbs. :(
