You don't disappoint Fresh. Looking great!

Only one I've ever owned. Have used Snap-On, pathetic ergo, and too heavy compared to the Titanium.

Looking good Fresh. As long as the little mark on the crank timing gear is at its indicator (which is at 12 o'clock) and the cam gear are at the I and E marks at 12 it should be good. I always put the exhaust side on first and hold it while turning the intake cam to its proper tooth. Makes sure you can turn it over twice and everything lines back up to 12 o'clock at the same time.

Take your big needle nose vise grips and put a shock rubber on each needle.
Lock it like a wedge between the timing gears before removing the belt.

I own IR too but do not like them! except an old reactionless air wratchet
love that!

[freshtiva]

Motor day. Cleaned/prepped for paint. Installed new water pump and timing belt. $175 in parts.Dont see how the down pipe is going to work yet. At least one more motor day in my future. When I removed the timing belt the intake cam instantly turned almost 90 degrees clockwise. I had marked their positions and turned it back to origin before installing the belt. It wouldnt sit on the mark w/o holding it there. Hope its right.

I have never had a snap on gun that was any good . The Im31 is okay my IR is were my money gets spent . And don't buy matco guns there just IR guns with matco names .
I payed close to seven hundred bucks for a 3/4 snap on gun with no problem ,but turned it back in within three days didn't like it .

[Movin]

Don't ever keep working when the snap on tool dealer shows up.
He WILL show you the latest and greatest, let you try it......
At that point you gotta say you only like pos tools or play ball!

I offered to sell them as a kit and only 1 person bought some. Its an easy way to get the alignment right

[KingFish]

Awesome mount. That should be added to the sticky for the bp swap. Will open a lot a doors for guys with less equipment.

[freshtiva]

I like it, if for no other reason, its made of Kevlar . Might have to Buy It Now.

[FestYboy]

OMG yeah, that thing is a turd. your line size and pressure are fine.

i recomend THIS aircat for 1/2" and THIS for a 3/8" gun. both are very quiet.
and i will always recomend a SnapOn gun, but they are $$$

[freshtiva]

Yeah that may be my problem. I bought the wrench from a buddy of mine years ago. My compressor shuts off at 120 PSI and comes back on at 100PSI. Im using a 3/4" hose. Might be time for a new impact you think ?

[FestYboy]

that 3/4 impact looks like a CP unit and they're not worth much more than 350 lbft....

i recomend an Aircat or SnapOn 1/2", both (depending on the model) are worth better than 800 lbft.

also, what PSI are you running for the gun? and what size hose?

[Damkid]

FWIW mattswabb once told me that he figured the BP would run on an un-modified EFI festiva harness w/ BP ecu but you would get a CEL without having the 4th dist. wire and the VICS hooked up

[freshtiva]

Whoa there trigger. Did you just say to made a no weld mount that looks bone stock, and keeps the proper orientation of the mount?

Eurotiva's idea

[freshtiva]

Fresh, since the bp does not have the little water outlet on the front of the head I cut that out of the water pipe and used a piece of heater hose and clamps

Thanks, I was wondering about that. I figured it needed plugged off or something.

Fresh - with all the goodies you have, tractors etc. your telling me you don't have an impact gun? either electric or air powered? i bought an electric one a couple years ago and i have not regretted it since

:p :p Its a 3/4" impact too.

X2!



Hope it gets smoother, man.

Man, me too ! Not sure it will though. All Ive done so far is take things apart. Havent put anything togather yet.
