Why did you treat your car like ****? When you first got everything in it?
I mean you ran the car to 6900 RPMs with out a tune, Not even heatcycling the heads/springs. And even though the car was making noises you said **** it, and went for it.
I hope you get it figured out. I don't want to see anybody having to go through this. But you blamed everyone else, and not even consider what you did to it...
Oh and by the way, I work for Uncle Sam as well. As a CNC Programmer/Operator.

btw, you did flycut for that combo right? You know.. since you're an automotive machinist and all, you should know the smaller CC of the 5.3's with larger valves and the MS3 will cause PTV issues..

You dorks my heads were 62cc and the pistons didn't hit the valves. I wasn't the one driving when I got the car back together. My friend that did the tuninig was driving right after we got it back together. I baby the car. I have charged to the game I know catastrophic stuff can happen it is the name of the game. I will keep my stuff in house from now on from tuning to machining. So I will know who to blame for sure when something goes wrong.

Were the dorks??? Dude did you even check for PTV? Answer the question, I know its been asked like 5 times, in both threads, so did you? And you said you pulled a tune off of someone esles car, and richened it up some. What the **** are you talking about?
And now its your friend that was driving it right after you installed everything, and he was the one who brought it up to 6900rpms. Something sounds fishing here. Cause in the first post you pretty much said you did it... I think you need to get your facts strait, and stop trying to blame someone else, and having them foot the bill....

Over the last couple of days me and a few friends installed my heads and cam. When I cranked the car it made a lot of noise at first but it had good oil pressure. So I said f**# it, I have more cuts on my hands than I can count. So I drove it around the block. The loud valvetrain noise finally stopped so I ran it up to 6900 no problem. Whew it looks like its all good, but it keeps SES the Mass air, TPS, and IAC. What's up with that? I am supposed to be going to RPM Friday to get it tuned.

Well I dunno what happened to your motor Donald but I've seen plenty of motors on a engine dyno and I know you ran yours longer than they do before some 6900rpm pulls. It may have been a bad part or something. She'll live again soon enough then maybe some of these SUPER FAST advisers can come get they're own shot at it.

Ok I guess Ill step in here and try to straighten any misleading info out. Crazy lane, you are a idiot. The heads were 62cc and at 62cc with the MS3 you DONT HAVE TO FLYCUT!!! Ive done 7 cam installs and havent had a problem till now. I think i know what Im doing. We DID heat cycle the springs several times before we took the car outta the shop. Im no idiot I know what to do. It did have loud valvetrain noise(dual springs) initially but it quieted down to nothing after driving it around the block. I put an initial tune in it to get it to start and made sure everything was very safe. I made sure everything was good before we ever went WOT with it. Again this is not my first rodeo nor will it be my last. I just know that before it went to RPM it didnt have any problems at all, other than I needed to iron out the drivability a little bit.

And just to clarify, I said the heads were a get what you pay for type of deal. I am on great terms with TSP and will not have anyone trying to ruin that between us. I said if you were looking to get 440-450 you were going to need a higher end head. I have never seen a set of those heads make 440-450 on any car at MY shop. Not saying it cant be done, but I have not seen it here. What are the CCs of the heads by the way? Does TSP request flycutting for this combo? There are many variables in why it could have dropped a valve, but I assure you that it was not from a tune.
