General Buick Tech / Re: valve train noise« on: October 29 2014, 10:57:10 PM »I have checked for exhaust leaks way to many times to count when searching for why no boost. No leaks. Wouldnt an exhaust leak tick sound off when bringing up rpms even in park? Load or not, exhaust leak ticking would be there, wouldnt it?? Throw it in gear in the driveway...and foot brake it a tad...should be able to hear the exhaust leak under load. 4414

General Buick Tech / Re: valve train noise« on: October 29 2014, 10:21:39 PM »Under load tick could be an exhaust leak Exactly why I use header gaskets and an RJC turbo gasket. After a million heat cycles...nothi ng is straight...at least in my opinion. I also use proper header to x-over pipe exhaust nuts and studs...availa ble from your favorite exhaust shop. I slowly tighten the x over nuts on...and check with my finger to make sure the flange is even all the way around for zero leaks. 4416

For those opting for vacuum brakes I can highly recommend the Russell SS brake lines that replace the 3 flex hoses. Firms up the brake pedal immensely.

Lifters have to spin...and if they don't...then it takes out the cam lobe(s). I highly recommend spending a few extra buck on a roller cam setup...to avoid this. There was a guy in Michigan selling cams real cheap a few years back...so yours truly gave one a go...and this was the result. As soon as it started ticking...we swapped out to an ATR cam I had kicking around.

Good to hear you got your life together. Steve and I are testing the limits of stock bolt on junk on my POS GN to see how fast we can get it to go before the internals exit the block.

Guiness Book Of World Records has me named as the only person on the planet that adjusts his boost pressure with the actuator rod.
