Yeah, so I'm taking my cams out and what's this? Oh, it's a nice broken cam cap. >:( ::) I might be mistaken, but doesn't that mean the head is garbage? If I were to get a new set I would have to align bore it and ----? Meaning I would have to spend more than the head is worth to fix it? Correct me if I'm wrong here. ::)

Hey Julio, you want a ZC head? ;) I give you good deal. Fie dolla!

You better stay out of the casinos for the next little while Boostie, you have had one shitty run of luck lately :-\

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

you could get another one and have it line bored, for way more $ then you could get another head for.

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

Ouch I've never seen one snap like that. I accidentally overtorqued one of the bolts that hold those in, and snapped it on my buddy's motor. Whoops :o

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

Yeah, about that, my boss has me setup in a suite at the Avi Resort this weekend. I'm going to lose all kinds of money. :(


That's what I was thinking. ------- piece of ----......I hate DOHC motors. >:(

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?

word bitch, good ol' single cam, it'll never do you wrong (and if it does you kick that bitch to the curb and get another one) you know, like women.

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

mmm
---- that i'd just go to the junkyard and yank that cap off of a 88-89 integra and if it fits...run that ----...

there isn't bearings on the cams... so it shouldn't matter...

---- just buy a new one and call it a day

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

The closest junkyard is about 200 miles away. :-\

I'm sick of this motor anyways. I'm done with it. I have yet to take the bottom end apart and see what's worng there. ::) I can't wait....

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

that is why it matters

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

that`s why they call it bearing cap. it actually ACT as a bearing

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

Since it's only one of the however many are in there, get another one and as long as the cam spins, run it. ;D

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

Yeah, I'll try that. :P

The strange thing, that cap sits on the exhaust cam on the #3 slot which operates the exhuast valves for the #2 cylinder, which I got a 30psi reading from. :-\ You can see marks on the cam from it wearing on it. I doubt that one cap would affect anything really, but it's kinda strange.....

wait a minute, did you break it or did you take apart the head and discover it was broken?

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?

damn, that's crazy... and suck :-\ Well since you know the car still ran with it broken, I say get one off another motor, bolt it up and go! ;D

Re:What do you do when you break on of these?
 

Yeah, but I still have other problems. The bottom end is tomorrows "after work project". I can't wait to see what the pistons look like. :-X
