Im in need of 1 used(but not rusty) or new valve cover bolt for my 2001 Cobra. Rebuilding the motor and Im missing 1 bolt. Im sure somebody has an extra one laying around from a build that they can ship me. Will paypal you for shipping and whatever you need for the bolt. Really dont want to buy...
break-in procedure seems to vary just as much as which oil people use. definitely gonna put in the D1 and as long as it idles well, take her out and run it hard for a good 30 mins after burping the cooling system.
Will probably just go ahead and throw the D1 on there and see how she idles and run. Gonna give Lidio a call and see if he does dyno break ins but will probably just do it myself. Still might put a few hundred miles on it bwfore takin g it to him if i do the break in.
Im new to the new motor break in thing. I was under the impression that you needed the time to properly break in and seat the rings(hence 500 miles) especially before makibg 6000+ rpm runs on a dyno. How long does it take to properly break in on tbe dyno?

Ordered a plate just in case mine was damged when removing to get valve covers powercoated. Plates arrived very quickly even with the holiday.
Even though i was able to remove mine without damage the new plates are super clean and will use them if i cant clean mine up.
Here are a few pics to...
I meant crank sprocket/gear. So basically i mark the both chains on the links that were lined up with all the timing mark(cams and crank). When i removed the tensioner and lifted the chain off the crank sprocket the whole pass cam assembly rotated(secondary chains too). I never moved the chain...
Straybullitt and slonech, thanks for replying.
The motor has a completely new timing set. Chains,guides ,tensioners,cams gears,sprokets,everything.
When i first pulled the cover and couldnt get the dots and links to match it didnt bother me because i figured if the timing marks started in the...
So i got my motor back from the builder and its been sitting on the stand while i get more parts. I wanted to verify and or swap to oil pump gears to billet opg's. Removed timing cover, I got the crank to what i think is tdc. Timing marks lined up based off a picture a got off web. Could see #1...
