Sorry, can’t help here. I use ARP head studs which have a different tightening procedure (since they are reusable unlike the factory bolts).

What do you mean mate? It was my first attempt and I just followed the workshop manual!

Thanks! Appreciate the comment!

I do, but it is tucked away in storage! Glad the videos have been of use!

Not a chance, I am loving Honda life now!

Thanks! You looking at a Lotus, or something else with the 2zzge in it? The stock transmission is a known weak point of the Toyota setup in the Lotus platform. Running around 270hp (smaller pulley, map, injectors) I broke 3rd gear and final drive of the stock setup, and replaced them with Jubu racing gears. After my engine build (now running 350hp ish) I broke the Jubu racing final drive too! Now moved to a quaife sequential setup which so far has been sublime! Most of my mileage is track, and most at the Nurburgring, so not the kindest environment!

@track__dan8755 I'm looking at a lotus. Thinking from yr 2005-2007 to be honest. I just want to plan ahead and see cost for stock motor build compared to swap. However, the other concern is the transmission. What is your experience with the axels? Do they hold up?

I am still running standard axles - I use heavy duty and vented cv boots, and repack the cvs relatively often. So far, they have been ok! Fingers crossed!

@track__dan8755 thanks for the recommendation for the transmission and diff. I appreciate that. The final drive is important to note. I was thinking of this as my personal car and not tracking it consistently but I would love it to get up and go when I need it

A lot to learn, but first impressions are good. A powerhouse, I just need to learn to ride it!

Thanks!

Just found a rhythm that I couldn’t repeat later in the day! Quality weekend though, can’t wait for Donny! Did I hear a rumour you are running the JB brakes titanium pistons?

@@track__dan8755 That’s just a rumour , was a good weekend and same as looking forward to donni mate

Yep, all good, this was a while ago. I actually raced in the last race of the day (3 hours later) after some fast repair work!

Real! Cadwell Park, round 2 of the Newcomer 1000cc race with No Limits, battling for 2nd place!

The Friday track day mate - when we were very much learning..

It was a little bit soggy!

Thanks mate! Great weekend for you too, a lot of pace in the dry!

@@track__dan8755 thank you I was trying the wet race was hard as lost visibility and dual carbon pads don’t work

Thanks!

Likewise! Some great battling! You were riding really well this weekend mate!

@@track__dan8755 I got great footage of you on my camera will get it loaded up mate

@@DaleHill-us6uu yes please!

Correct. I took a shortcut (not completely accurate) and checked both shims were in contact with the rocker by eye and so checked both at the same time. A more accurate way would be one shim at a time👍🏻

If you are checking valve lash the correct way, you can do them while they're both installed. Check valve lash with the feeler between the shim and the follower while gently prying up on the follower to compress the slipper plate spring.

The lift? It’s not based on degree, it’s based on RPM and when the oil control valve sends pressure to the lift mechanism.

Never been to Croft in the Lotus, so no idea tbh!

Thanks mate. It was a tough weekend, but happy to have brought home some points! You had a cracking last race didn’t you? 5th?

@@track__dan8755 I had a shit weekend till the Sunday afternoon lol got 5th yes and 3rd in class the first race on Sunday some one hit me on second corner and punted me off track lol but I kept it up right you are mega consistent riding can’t wait to get to angelsey now

@@ROBOCOP2487 ah that is shit! Yea, can’t wait for Anglesey and I’ve got a day at Oulton next week just to see where it goes! See you in a few weeks!

@@track__dan8755 I’ve not been there before either lol what day you there ?

@@ROBOCOP2487 20th - next Tuesday.

Thanks mate! See you at Croft!

15/43. Are you racing too?

@@track__dan8755 yes mate I was in the same race

@@track__dan8755 that was my first ever race and first ever time riding a wet track 🫣🫣😂

@@matty360player ahh I know who this is now! Glad you enjoyed the weekend, hopefully see you at Croft?

Thanks!

It was a fun race! You coming to Cadwell?

@@track__dan8755 yes mate are you ?

@@ROBOCOP2487 yep, should be at all the rounds this year!

@@track__dan8755 I’ll come find you at cadwell but absolutely mega footage can’t wait to be racing again now lol 😂

There is no "lift" side. The valve lash is measured between the cam follower and the shim on top of the valve. It will be the same no matter which profile is active because it's not measured at the cam lobe but at the valve. Set intake valve lash between 0.013 and 0.015" if you spend a lot of time in the higher rpm range to avoid wiping the cam. If you attempt to measure valve lash between the cam lobe and the follower, you will get a false measurement. So, to be clear, you measure the valve lash between the valve shim and the follower while prying gently on up on the follower to compress the slipper plate spring. The roller will be in direct contact with the cam lobe if you are doing it correctly.

​@@3dw3dwI have some marks on my cam lobes but with my nail test is smooth from side to side. Also on my valves clearance check the clearances is 0.15mm. Is this dangerous for my camshaft?

​@DimosTs192 that is about 0.006" if you spend a significant amount of time at wide open throttle over 6500 rpm then YES! You will be replacing the cam and the rockers real soon. You will want to make that clearance a minimum of 0.010" but I recommend 0.013" - 0.015". For you, that's roughly 0.28mm to 0.38mm. I'm not in the metric system so double check the math. It's an approximation on my part, I didn't actually do the math. The more you flog it the bigger clearance you should have. Intake valve stems get longer the more you heat them. The harder you push your engine the hotter ther intake valves will get and they will close the clearance and wipe your cam. If you never use the high rpm profile of your cam you will never have any worry.

@3dw3dw the toyota specs is 0.08mm-0.18mm. Are you sure mate? My mechanic says is very good, im confused now. I use lift almost every day but 2,3 times, no on track days or aggressive downshifting etc. And I have 65.000 miles now. Also use good oils every 2.000 miles and I'm carefully with the car.

​​@@DimoS... you just go ahead and do whatever you want. The valve stem is a rod of metal. The stem expands (lengthens) as it is heated reducing working clearance. The harder you drive the hotter rhe valve will get. The hotter it gets the longer the valve stem will grow necessitating more lash. I really don't care what you do to your car. As I previously stated, if you never Rev your engine you will never have anything to worry. If you flog it like I do mine and you don't open that lash, get ready to spend a lot of money. Am I sure? I am $18,000 worth of absolute certain that everything I've told you is true. Again, do whatever you want. It's your money Watch my videos and see what happens when the lack of lash holds the valve open.

From the non-timing chain side, where the oil control valve etc is.

Be careful as well, they can be installed in the wrong position. If installed in the wrong position there will be no control of cam timing and there will be a code. There are multiple holes in the rube that the weird little bolt can go through.
