When I took it back in to have them re-done he made some BS statement like "oh, you'd never notice that". Yeah, maybe, but I'd rather not build the entire motor and find out you're wrong.

I work in a machine shop. We'd never have let that go.. We'd have checked their alignment and adjusted till their correct.

My original plan was to put some 318LA heads on this, but since the Magnum blocks aren't drilled to oil the rocker shafts, that idea went out the window.

How’s she run?

Still running great driving every day for over 2 years. Still very strong!

Hello sir... So just take vehicle to regular ECU tuner or can someone just buy a Pre- program tune ? Thanks

@@hajileserpud9539 Youre always better off with a professional tune. That being said, the early 90s fuel injected models are obd1.5 and can not be tuned without physically messing with the circuits on the ecu.

Yes, magnum cams are ridiculous expensive. I went back with the stock, and a lot more than 4 degrees

I'd definitely think it's more likely a timing chain or something like that. broken crank/cam on a stock output motor would be really, really unusual. Keep us updated on how it goes, though!

It hugely depends on if the bore is good enough to re-use the existing pistons and the condition of the valves and seats. If you can re-use the pistons and valves then it's basically rings, rods, mains, timing set and gaskets which should be under $300 depending on brands of parts. That assumes you have the tools, of course. If it needs machine work, or you want to add performance parts, the price goes up from there.

@@YoshimoshiGarage okay thanks appreciate it

If you've not gotten to the cam yet, you might want to take a look at the timing. If you already built it, I'll be interested to hear your results. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMuieqyClr-rfZs.html

Give I time. This will be a long series so I'll cover it.
