Matt's (mis)adventures with a cammed 3400

[SappySE107]

Parts are overnighted to MPRacing.

I just wanted to note that "poor valve job" was incorrect. The valve job is how it should be and was only the shops opinion of the angles used. They would do something different I suppose but I know from flowtests what has done the best. Pushrods are the right length. Keepers, retainers, and valves are being replaced. SI valves and Comp retainers/keepers are no longer sold by WOT-Tech. Comp retainers aren't the problem, just the keepers.

Just so there are no misunderstandings to those who have been following this thread:

I want to publicly state that Ben has been very helpful and has shown great character in helping to resolve the issues that we have been troubleshooting. His level of customer service is commendable and I am looking forward to promising results when all is said and done.

I would expect nothing less from Ben. His customer service was top notch with me and I'm glad to hear the same with you.

Obviously, you need a better camera...

Glad to see you got it fixed and back up for Matt. Always good to hear about positive customer service from our backers.

I'll give ya 20 shipped for the digital camera! lol It is better than what I have. Mine doesn't record sound and max memory is 2 minutes!

Damn I am old.


BUT I refuse to buy new since it will more than likely get broke, stolen, or loaned out and forgot about!

Yea I think that me, Matt and Ben are all extremely happy to have this done... now onto getting the new billet/urethane trans and side mounts installed, gauges wired, pcm re-tuning and of course a full detail so it looks as well as it runs..

camera is a polaroid a520.. so yea its a pile but does better than nothing I supppose haha

[3400-95-Modified]

That sounds MUCH better...

[mfuller]

I'm extremely happy everything seems to be working. I haven't seen the car in person yet since Mark put it back together (hopefully tinight), but from the video it looks to run very smooth, with little to no lope. Probably the balanced bottom-end and blueprinted heads help....

Wow that's pretty nice. I saw that sucker sitting in the garage a while ago...must say I was a bit envious at how nice it looked. Can't wait to hear it in person!
