How’d you make the bracket that mounts the slave to the trans? Looking to do the same thing after my OEM one stopped working on me

Life’s been crazy as well as work so documentation dropped off a bit but here’s a photo dump! SHE’S ALIVE!!!! Minor oil leak out of sandwich plate plug, next oil change gonna remove and replace with new thread sealant. Not too worried about it right now. Other than that she’s running great...

For those that are having some trouble or confused as I was, here’s what I did: I have the old slave hardline (no O-ring): I placed the old-style slave o-ring into the slave cylinder first, followed by the new-style o-ring: Then placed the hardline fitting into the slave and had to compress...

Put in a lot of work this weekend and was able to get the engine in! First I finished up some odds and ends with fuel fittings, coolant hardline delete, etc. then got to work on the clutch & trans: Then today was able to get the wiring harness back on (I’ll get around to removing the EGR...

Nah it’s Graveyard Performance’s manifold w/ a 38mm Tial EWG flange. Heard some good & bad reviews for it but I’m gonna give it a shot and see how it does

Alrighty boys we’re moving now! Just been cruising through getting all the accessories on, nothing too crazy. Gotta finish a couple odds and ends then I’ll be ready to get the clutch & trans on then get the whole thing back in the car! Making progress!

Yep! After torquing I spun it around two complete rotations, put the TDC pin & cam plate in, and made sure the 20th tooth still lined up with the CKPS (along with good tension on the chain). Everything checked out that time and then I checked it all over once more just to be safe and everything...

Alright boys and girls we’re back. Been a little while due to work and life but was able to wrench a little this weekend and made some significant progress. Was able to FINALLY finish timing the engine and tighten the crank pulley bolt down while keeping everything in time (been a month in the...

Yeah the only thing I didn’t do from that procedure was keeping the timing hardware in during the initial 75ft lb, so maybe it was thrown off during that? But I still had my buddy counter holding the crank during so I’m not sure what was up. I’m going to put some ARP ultra torque lube on the...

Alright guys I’m kinda stumped and need some advice. Round 2 of tightening the crank pulley bolt was still unsuccessful. Somehow the cams moved out of TDC alignment relative to the crank. Whenever the cams are at TDC the 20th tooth is out of alignment with the CKPS, as seen below: But...

No worries lol I appreciate the help man!

Good to know for sure, scratch what I said before then. Would you say keeping the TDC pin in during torque is fine or take that out as well? Thanks for the help!!

Yeah I thought about just reusing the timing cover but since the crank pulley bolt moved outside the limit of the crank position sensor I was gonna have to undo everything anyways, might as well replace the timing cover and make it pretty (apparently it’s only a week and a half out from shipping...

UPDATE I fucked up… (This explains why I was asking for recommendations for crank pulley holders lol) I wanted to use my noodle a bit and make my own crank pulley holder tool. I had good intentions but it just didn’t pan out that well. So yeah. The bolts I used were grade 5, which I thought...

Maisonvi is gonna hook me up with one of his but I’ll go ahead and order a similar tool to the one you linked @Cfoldone just so I have it for future needs. Appreciate the help guys!

PM’d ya

Anyone know if Maisonvi’s crank pulley holder tool is still floating around? Or literally just any good crank pulley holder for the speeds?

UPDATE Used a screwdriver for a little leverage in between the tensioner and the arm, got another notch on the tensioner and the slack seems to have reduced noticeably. Video below https://youtube.com/shorts/P3HL0tiZpcM?feature=share Thoughts? No more droop, straight across between the sprockets

Here’s some pictures as well

Alright I’ve been working on timing the engine the past couple days and I’ve got a question: I followed the forums for how to time the engine, made sure the cam sprockets were loose/able to spin before releasing the tensioner/pulled the tensioner arm towards the guide arm to get as many notches...
