allright guys i need your input. just recently i installed a ct-26 turbo on my 5sfe block it was all workin good for about a week now, and just yesterday i was coasting down the exit ramp to go to work and all off a sudden my engine just shuts off my itself i was like wtf so i try starting it it took about 5 turns for it to fire, and once it did it knocked like a sob and i had like no power felt like 2-3 cylinders. so i take it easy and drive it the rest of the way to work which was 2 blocks and i park it and pop the hood to see where the chatter was comming from. it sounds like it's comming from the head. after work i started the car up again and it started up with ease.. lil rough but not as before. so it's all workin and decide to take it for a test drive around the block. it was getting worse and worse. i brought it back and popped the hood it was nothing but screeching and sounded like metal on metal so i'm thinking cams. i turn it off and let it be. it sat overnight.
it seems like it's not getting oil my friend said. i took the oil feed from the stock sender with a T. i'm using a -3 an feed and a -12 an drain. my friend is gonna help me tow it home tonite to see what tge deal is. i'm just gonna take off the valve cover to start out with to see damge. i also have a relocation kit mounted on my driver side fender well. do you think that this is too much travel for the oil pump to pump out?? thanks guys for your input. --------------------  |

[right][snapback]296186[/snapback][/right] There isn't an actualy bearing... just cam caps. If you didn't see anything out of the ordinary when you took the valve cover off... it's not the caps. If it were, the shims would be all over the place... Let me ask you this... what makes you so sure it's the head? You do realize it's fairly difficult to screw up the head no? From your description, you're not driving hard enough... Typically, only extreme heat, lack of oil, and over revving can screw up the head... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
