Took the car out for a spin with new mods
I started working on my car thursday. Ended saturday but barely got it out today after spending yesterday tuning and aligning it. The things I did were pocket port the heads with gastket matching and removing the smog bump from the heads, Installed a better set of head gaskets for the nitrous, Another oil pump, hardened push rods, sub frame connectors, rebuilt my steering system (box, tie rods, control arms, idler/pitman arm, centerlink, and some chrome (just for show. I should have the new pics anytime now. I love the new feel much more responsive on turns. I have fallen in love with the fastback once more. The car gets up and go's.
Now on to the questions I adjusted the rocker arms the way it said in the book. screw it till it gets hard to turn then 3/4 of a turn. I do have variable duration lifters but they seem to be making more noise than they use to. When it's cold they don't sound only when warm. Is this the way they are going to be? Or do variable duration lifters adjust different. I know they are noise lifters but i do remember they made less noise.
