When you kill rod bearings in a turbo engine it's usually the tune, not the oil.

Have fun!

You are right Mender, and that was the first thing I checked on that K24 Nissan motor. I went through the timing table and it was a bit aggressive. After I re did the short block he was able to use a bit more aggression just to find out he lost power but at least with more cushion that gave him extra margins to be safe. I recommended to him not to push it because there's a point were too much is too much. He got better results retarding it some and leaning it out more, he picked up another 47whp.

3.XX Parts showing up for the R&D. Some things look goo on paper, some things you just have to try.

1.7's?
I had to put the Firebird 2.8 valve cover gaskets under the Fiero ones to get my 1.6's to not nudge the valve covers... Yikes @ 1.7s!

I have a thick spacer right now and it gives me plenty of space, We'll see

I would be interested in this since my next cam will be the WOT-Tech .510" lift one...

I have spacers that are made from 1/4" aluminum plate. They should be pretty easy to make: just trace the outline of your valve cover gasket.
