Mechanical Rockers adjusted too far?
RWDAddict replied to RWDAddict's topic in Advanced Virtual Mechanic
Are you talking about the intake water passages? It all lines up fine from the head to the intake, i had to swap over the water neck to the other side, make my own gasket, and swap the intake plenum. I also got the long runners by accident (rather just didn't know there was a long one) and had to cut those down as well. -
Need both hoses from the pump to the steering box. Really needs to be local because shipping would be a pain in the butt and expensive. I live in Cary, IL

RWDAddict replied to RWDAddict's topic in Advanced Virtual Mechanic
Looks like I need to get longer screws. As for that sweet gasket, it's the M28 cast head, it would be stupid expensive to import one from Australia, so I made my own, looks like balls but should seal up :-) -
So here is a pic with it adjusted cold on the intake side to .010 Are the adjustments too far into the nut, doesn't seem right. http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/RWDaddict/Mobile%20Uploads/0926142121_zpsf2g1abhs.jpg

Magna MPI won't fit

Well, almost worked, we cleared out initial problem. Then the brake booster got in the way, we solved that by taking the back spacer plate out and adjusting the system. Overall it won't work, we're talking 2" full inches of spacers and even then the intake over extends the hood by that 2". So i'm back to cutting the runners. Anybody have experience with that? -

This is my face after not thinking about shimming it. Great idea boys, thanks! http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/RWDaddict/untitled_zps029b22be.png -

You have a link to the car he's selling, I did a quick search and can't find anything. I'm desperate to get this on i have working but at this point i'm afraid i'd have to shorten the intake runners, somehow relocate the steering box or perhaps heat the whole assembly up and pull it together with a strap. None of which I want to do. -

It looks to be the long tube one, it's different looking from the others. I bought it from Old_Dog -
So I got an unmodded intake from a member on here. Sat on it for a while and now going to install it. Took it to the machine shop buddy i know to get the flanges changed and the coolant passage swapped over. The other bonus is I have an M28 cast head which has the larger coolant passage so I don't need to modify that. All good things. Well the issue i'm running into now is the lower intake plunum won't sit flush against the head. It's hitting the top of the steering box. Even to get to this point i had to remove the P/S lines from the box and brake booster. I know i'm going to have to work practically the 90* bend just to get that to fit. Below are some pictures, who has put one of these in? I must be missing something there. Please feel free to call me Taylor 815-690-3237 This one is pointing to a brass not on top of the steering box that has a flathead adjustment screw. Tried to back it in as much as possible to no avail http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/RWDaddict/3ee923f1-cad5-4c9d-b79a-9cd34073bda7_zps117dc787.jpg This is how it rests http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa239/RWDaddict/3ee923f1-cad5-4c9d-b79a-9cd34073bda7_zps117dc787.jpg

It's just not as clean of a job, would like to get pre-made.
