So I pulled the heads off the car to swap the lifters and I came across some funny ****. My valve springs are upside down. Anybody ever seen any **** like this? lol



And btw, if I pulled the valley cover anyone know if I would be able to tell if I have an after market cam? Not sure if they're usually marked or anything. I was told it had one when I bought it, but 99% of what the guy told me was bullshit so IDK.

 

This HAS to be a joke. Thats amazing haha

 

the spring seats are actually taking lift out of the spring too!

 

Seems legit.

 

that is retarded. And the best way to tell if you have a aftermarket camshaft is to use a caliper and take some measurements.

 

oh yea, and judging by the first picture I saw, I hope that your cam is original, and that nothing inside of your motor was touched by this mentally challenged man.

 

Thats crazy. How long have they been like that?

 

Those must be the new hivebee springs..........

Ron

 

Nope. I **** you not.

Well I've had the car for a little over a year. Put just over 5k on it. It just went 12.1 a couple of weeks ago but got a bad tick on the last pass. That's why the heads are off. Was planning on new lifters, but think I might do complete new top end now.


Like I told my buddy that was helping me, these are the new inverted race springs. They are made for handling and are a must for the twisty's.

 

I know a guy that tried to do this. Told me that back in the day that was how everyone ran beehives so they could get clearance on running a big spring. I laughed so ******* hard lol.

 

Wow... That guy must have been a genius. Hope you don't run into more of his mistakes.

 

You guys got it all wrong, those are the new tornado design springs that's the correct installation.

 

If they did install a cam...how does your oil pressure look? I'd imagine they raped the bearings putting it in dry, judging by the springs lol!

FWIW I was able to identify my Torquer V2 through the valley, it's hard to read the numbers but it can be done. If I remember right though the numbers that I found there were for the cam line it comes from and not the specific cam itself, but it at least tell you if you have an aftermarket cam or not.

 

you car ever been to buffalo NY?

 

that's the newest free ricer mod "inverted GTRRRRR springs" LOL

 

Not that I'm aware of, why?

 

I just laughed so hard when I read this.

LOL

 

i can believe it took us the second head to put 2 and 2 together about the springs....hahaha

 

...and what makes this even funnier, is the guy who did this is probably somebody who frequents this forum, and pretends to be knowledgable, even giving out advice, and attempting to answer questions. Personally, I'm not surprised at all. The Internet has made everybody a genius! LOL!

 

All the aftermarket cams I have seen having sloppy hand engravings on the back end showing a part # and/or grind #.

The stock cams have the I-phone scan symbol and laser etched digits on the end.
