  1. yeah i tensioned the bolts up in the exact order of the manual to exactly the right torque...and i checked the oil feed fo the bearings where it sat and they are all fine...i will get a picture tomorrow and post it up it just looks like a complete snap in half as if you broke it over your knee..and iut snapped right halfway down cylinder 5 actual so only 1 inlet valve was opening in cylinder 5 and none on cylinder 6...and now one of the bearings has the slightest mark in it from where it broke and wedged itself..it snapped one of the bolts that hold the cam caps down aswell.

  2. they were installed correctly with the torque settings used out of the rb20det workshop manual..they were brand new and were in the car for about 6000k's...and no none of the caps were swapped around i had them layed out perfectly where they came from...my mechanic thinks someone had dropped them hard in transport which might have put a hairline crack through them that was not visible to the human eye

  3. hey guys just wondering if anyone out there using tomei poncams in their rb20 have ever snapped one in half

    i was driving down the road and gave it a bit of squirt then it sounded like i lost a cylinder...so when i got home i checked for coilpacks and all the usual stuff (ignitors, sparkplugs) and then did a compression test...cylinder 6 read 0psi i took the rocker covers off and cranked the motor over and i noticed that the inlet cam was completely snapped in two pieces right where cylinder 6 valves start so the valves werent in operation....the motor is still in good nick nothing wrong with the valves nor the piston...but im just curious on how strong these poncams are, if a camshaft that is around an inch thick of solid steel can just cleanly snap in two it must have been a manufacturing defect or something. i dont know.

  4. hey guys...my rb20 just blew up..and im considering doing this conversion as i have heard its a great upgrade....just one question though...i have a rb20det power fc...but if i do this conversion i want to run the rb26 head...will my power fc work with this head (i dont mind if i have to rewire a few things) i already have modded the wiring loom for stock gtr injectors. any help would be good

    cheers
