Chris's idler bearing may have done the same... waiting on diagnosis.

I think one of my cam breather fittings popped out a little. There was a slight squeal but it wasn't there today as I pushed it back in.

Just like a poo. :laugh:

Both my idler and tensioner bearings were done with the timing belt a couple weeks ago. I think the noise might actually be coming from the power steering or a/c pulley.

Apart from that I had a great day. Massive turnout, lots of fun :D

Cheers for organising that Luke

It might be over tightened on the tensioner putting too much pressure on the belt causing the noise and putting lots of heat into both items.

You will know if this is the case by bits of timing belt getting stuck on the bearings

Okay, thanks Dave.

If the noise is still there with the pulleys off I'll check that next :)

cant start the car without the pulleys there unless u want a broken engine lol.

Know the old long screwdriver listening tool trick? if not google it and try it on diff parts of the engine to narrow down the area

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      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.

      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?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason 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).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that 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!?!?
