Real Fiero Tech

I got the Felpro valve seal set you suggested, and they worked out nicely. We used compressed air to do the valve springs and seals, with two of us doing the job it didn't take very long. In the process we did find that one of my exhaust vales isn't sealing great, but that is a project for much late...

Okay, i actually see the specs listed on their website now:

Seat Pressure @ installed height - 105# @ 1.700
Open pressure height - 296# @ 1.20
Avg. spring rate - 382#/in

Do I need to make any changse to install these? I'm wishing I had just bought a stock cam at this point.

I like using compressed air. Be prepared that this is going to suck and have a pen magnet ready for the keepers. are they the fierostore "performance" springs? I'll grab a magnet, and they are the FieroStore performance springs. I'm gonna give them a call, hopefully they have the info on ...

How far can the valve fall in I put that piston at TDC?

And should I be safe just removing the old ones and putting these FieroStore springs right on? They don't have any install specs included with them.

A lift and a dirt floor? thats a new combo. Bleeding edge technology :thumbleft: Cam is in, new timing sprockets and chain are on, water pump is on. And my springs arrived today from the FieroStore, true to form, its a loose pile of springs in a box. No Specs or anything. For doing the springs, the...

I wouldn't pull the pan. The pump won't pick them up unles they are pretty small peices as there is a screen on the pump. Even so the oil filter will catch anything else. If I was you I would just replace that lifter and call it a day. Or find an extra set of heads to clean up and install and just ...

Alright, I've ordered new performance springs and retainers just in case, I don't want to have to do this again. Jazzman on Old Europe mentioned the spring Dampners as a possible interference issue, do you happen to know if they'll have to be trimmed down with this cam? Here's my other concern so fa...

Alright, I'm working on the cam replacement right now, and just noticed that the manual says to remove the "rear camshaft cover." However, I see now that the cover is under the transmission. Do I really need to remove this cover? I had thought the camshaft simply pulled straight out the fr...

While on the topic of the cam and lifters, are you supposed to soak the lifters prior to install?

I saw that mentioned a few times on Old Europe, but I don't remember doing that during my last cam install. That would affect the lash adjustment right?

lol, you seem like the mustang type :la:

i DROVE THIS CAR ONCE. i didn't fuck anything up. its a fucking fiero....its been fucked since the day it came out of the fucking factory. that's why pontiac stopped making these fucking cars. i listened to you ass holes and went out and got a fiero... now you tell me im fucked? fuck you! lol, you ...

Damn, that probably was a damn nice car.

Shit dude, 2 grand? I'd be saving up for one of your swaps if I lived near you.

Why do they need to be adjusted so much the valve covers have to have doors? Porsche sure as hell didn't have that on the 964's. the queerness of Fiero owners never ceases to amaze me.... ever... the comments, the ideas... just all make my brain hurt. I need to adjust the valves on my uber performa...

I saw some toolshed on Old Europe use Hinges from home depot. fuckin retards of the world unite. lol I have access to a basic machine shop, was thinking of something a bit better than self-tapping screws and hinges :thumbleft: So, 1.5 turns or 3/4 turn are both fine :scratch: Thats the info that wa...

Was thinking about this the other day, planning on doing a cam swap and one of the downsides of this engine seems to be the fact you need to get it dead right the first time. mainly the rocker adjustment. Problem is, I've found conflicting information as to exactly how much the rocker should be tigh...

No, that'd be nice though. The midnights shifts at McDonald's were hiring at $8/hr, so I'm gonna give that a try.

Serious? I thought you already made pretty good money.

What browser do you use? I prefer to use FireFox, along with the NoScript plugin. In theory it should prevent any of that from happening.

Internet Explorer is susceptible to the so-called Drive By viruses i think.
