    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Still have allot left to do but its starting to come together.
 
What did you use to glue the head gasket? Also, next time the head comes off, remove the COPPER wire used to oring the tops of the cylinders & replace it with STAINLESS wire or PIANO wire. I tell you this from 30 years racing engine building experience & the fact that the copper wire will crush & eventually lead to a blown head gasket. The stainless wire or piano wire will not crush & have that problem. Alot of people use copper wire because it is easy to get & install. I go the little extra to prevent failures. Are you using the stock 1150 cams? They are about the very best for a turbo application! Ray.
 
Head gasket and all mating surfaces got two coats of gaska-cintch apply let dry (tacky) apply second coat.
I went back and forth on the wire and for every person that says use steel or the like there is one that says use copper. Not doubting you or your experience, I figured I have a 50/50 chance. If I end up with a problem steel will go in for sure.
I have not been able to positively identify the cams. I was told they were 1150 cams but when I took all the measurements they match the dimensions given in the 1100 manual for tolerances, which they are within spec. So I dont really know:( Is there a way to tell them apart??

Indeed I have the same problem,a set off an 1150 head and a 1100 head mixed up in a box...someone chim in..
 
The exhaust cam will NOT have the tach drive machined into it. I will have to go dig out a set & tell you which #s are on them, but the exhaust cam is easy to identify. Ray.
 
I just went out and checked I have two sets of cams and both have the gear for the mech. tacho. so between that and the measurements I took I am guessing that they are 1100 cams. I still have allot to do, maybe I will look for a set of 1150 cams if I can come across a set cheap.
How much of a difference do you think it will make, I am not really going for big big HP numbers??
