Far out Luke!! Nice work. You doing that yourself? I wouldnt have a clue what to do after getting the valley covers off lol.

Yeah got Simon helping me out but it's getting there. Sending the head off to Rhemac tomorrow for a port/polish and getting them to drop the Poncams in while they are at it. Then I'll pick it up, get Simon to bolt the head back on with the new ARP head studs and head gasket, complete with the Tomei oil restrictor. Then it's up to me to bolt on the rest. Oh happy days!!!

Looking at the bores however, all seems well, no pitting on the pistons from detonation or the like so the bottom end seems in pretty good nick thankfully! Just need to get a retune after it's all back together, then back to the track!

Yeah, there are a few hoses I'm looking at that I'll replace while I'm there. The motor is in very good condition really, no pitting on the pistons, no scores in the bore and still has the cross hatching. Looks like it should be sweet for some time to come :blink:

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
