i just installed my fm11 in place of my 224/581/112

i use the 1/4" rods for the lifter tools, when i put them in though it seem like there was alot of slack, like no resistance at all, is this normal??

and for those curious about the idle, it is almost the exact same as my old cam, maybe a tiny bit rougher

time for a shower and a test ride

 

keep us updated

 

after driving around

idle is definately a bit choppier, doesnt want to die at all or anything but it has a bit more lope to it.

driveability is the exact same as the 224, cant tell a difference

sotp difference is VERY noticable. only did a couple 2nd to 3rd gear runs but it definately has more pull than before. the cam feels like is dies off a little sooner than the old one did though, maybe thats the difference the +4 advance makes on the new one over the 0 advance on the old

but remember this thread, the noise is back, probably has to do with the belt i think so ill take a look at them tomorrow if it continues

was the swap worth it, so far id say yes. get into a new cam and outta the old for roughly the same price, cant really beat it

any ideas on the lifter tool, power drop off with advance, or noise questions???

 

This is very interesting, as I will be switching from my TR224 114 to a FM11 112 as soon as this snow gets the f**k outta here. Im hoping to see a decent gain.

 

I would say that the lifters were stuck in the holders already. I just used the lifter tool to make sure they didn't fall. Shoot me a IM and tell me the details Tally. Glad to see you like it

 

yes yes after some more driving let us know how it feels and the way the car acts

 

what are the spec of the FM11?????????

 

228 230 581 591 and he got it on a 112 +4

 

I'm doin the same thing ... just waitin on the damn snow.

 

mine was actually 575 intake lift and 595 exhaust

and the noise is definately the belt of pullies, i just have to figure out how to fix it

sorry no more driving updates, been raining all day
