I'm hoping to have my camcorder back today or tomorrow. If I have it I will bring it and we will make Drew the video man.

Workin on it. dist gear is fine, but I notice no oil pressure when cranking. Drove the pump w/ a drill- pressure great. Bottom line- cam isn't turning. That means chain/gears/pin in cam. I 'll pull the cover in the morning.

Well, as to the first part, he didn't drop that nut- it matches the single one for the new intake (I thought the kit was short one- guess not.) I must have done it.
As to the second- HUH? try again in english [Razz]

So this nut was hanging out somewhere under the timing chain cover for a while, finally decided to do some damage when you tried to start your car several months later, and then peacefully fell into the oil pan? Talk about lucky. You should take the opportunity to stick in another cam (B303) and see if you lose/gain anything [Big Grin]

You guys are dense. The nut came from this intake install, Fri. Had the dist. hole uncovered about 1/2 the day. No luck, just my idiocy. Get it yet? Or you would you like a sign-language interpreter?

Get some glasses.

I never posted that in the beginning. I did say it was probably my fault. You just took the opportunity to make an assumption and take a shot at someone you don't like.

I still like my version of the story better [Razz] I also still think you should stick in a B-cam, or maybe a F. What shot did I take and who don't I like? 1320MASTER ? I don't even know who he is [Confused]

Why not? Did that custom one show much gain?

If you want ~1 MPH over an E303/TFS1 cam, there is no need to do any sort of critical thinking. Hmmmm, what comes after the letter "E"? Ah yes, F. F303 it is [Big Grin] .... or.... Hmmmm, what comes after TFS-1. Ah yes... TFS-2 it is. See how that easy was? I'm sure both will show similar improvements if not more [Smile] I guess it just broke my heart that you stuck in a "custom cam" in your hard running "classifieds parts" combo. A $75 used F303 would fit the spirit of your combo better [patriot]
