[QUOTE="Kevin @ Wicked, post: 12341485, member: 18076"] Remember this motor originally grenaded on the driver side (cam sprocket broket/chain) which I KNOW was due to PTV clearance, but the builder won't give any info or what the remedy was when the motor was returned "fixed". Its also know that the otherside might not have been checked after this first dilemma. So i wouldnt be surprised if we have some questionable PTV clearance measurements on this passenger bank giving me these readings. Im not even thinking its a "advance/retard" issue in correspondence with the other side. Im thinking the cam itself if fubar'd and the specs its "ground on" aren't there. Like i said, case in point, the 2v i did which the cams were sent to LM and he spun them on his cam doctor, which showed the issue clear as day. Got new cams, same spec, just "correct" and the car ran perfect. Right now its not feasible for me to tear into this motor to get all this other data, i have so much other stuff going on, i have enough time alloted to try and remedy the DTC and do some health tests. UNFORTUNATELY its the engine builders job who got paid for his services to make sure the cams are correct, installed correct, ptv checked, and when and if they were degree'd would have picked up on an issue in the grind, because the rotating numbers on the degree wheel and atdc btdc wouldnt jive. I know thats what I do when I assemble long blocks for customers who hire me for such work. [/QUOTE]
