Just my 2 centsI don't find the need to use dial gauge and degree wheel necessary in most of the case for street tuning. It's 'a proper procedure' but it's not 'the only procedure'.
Mild street cams no problem
After all, it's the result that matters. As long as the valves don't hit each other or the pistons, the engine idles well, variable timing mechanism (if available) works without problem, the rest of the tuning is all about getting the desired powerband (which can be done by putting the car on the dyno roller, or roughly on the road).
Who cares if the cam is 'dialed to the spec' if the spec is not what I want? What if I just want it sightly off because i feel better with that?
As usual we like to 'rojak' stage 1;stage 2 and stage 3 mods.(supporting mods for the cam)And newbies dont have the knowledge and/or experience and hence the cam card spec is usually the first reference point.
Unless paying RM350 extra make extra 10 mental HP. I don't care if it's exactly 2.000 cam degrees retarded, all I want to know is how good it performs. I don't care if two lines is exactly 4.000 crank degrees, all I want to know is what kind of difference it makes.
High lift cams with high comp pistons and big valves...different ball game here( interference engine some more)
So, dial gauge and degree wheels? Yes, give me an unknown cam I will use those to tell you the spec, just to tell you the spec, nothing else!
Haha... No... It will meow... But it cucuk it, it will scratch...Hellokitty can rawwwrr? hehe..
anyways, any cams that's bigger/higher than the stock one will gives u more power.. u just need a proper timing and the street is yours
Gudluck
(haiya.. when can i afford a bigger cam la??? )
Tappet clearance adjustment: all you need are a good 12mm close-ring spanner, a flat-head screw driver, good ears and good eyes. Feeler gauge? I keep that in the closet and never use it for long enough that it some how rusted.
If have time, I will get izso to post something about that. But the info is already widely available in teh web so do some personal research first lah.. okay?aiyo, taiko, no proper procedure for noob/beginner ah??
did some tappet adjustment at shop really not satisfying..
Drex and I did some tappet adjusting on my car but it still needs some fine tuning so when I find the time, I'll try it again and post it up for show later. It's not hard to do, just to get the best feel it's trial an error imho.aiyo, taiko, no proper procedure for noob/beginner ah??

Erm.. no difference in FC... if I control my right foot It's quite addictive (the roar of Hello Kitty.. haha) so I tend to rev it quite a lot. Recently did 11km/L which is out of my usual 15km/L.hi, any1 have idea on JASMA camshaft? i believe its the cheapest around, but somehow unable to get any feedback at the moment.
by the way,izso and other members who had installed Hello Kitty cam,does it sounds rough and for normal cruising drive, FC big diff?

True that on the gloves. But rubber gloves tear easily and since there about a thousand things that can cut you, I'd rather just go bare handed.I think you only need to change spring when you mess around with lift not highcam alone.
Anyway I think you can use rubber gloves especially those medical grade - there is no contamination of the gloves, and you protect yourself from cancer.
Another thing is, from what I know, minor knocks are inaudible, but you can see them when you hook up a standalone ECU that enables you to read the knock sensor (minor knocks may shorten the engine life but so does most modding)
okok..surely not ur shop..If have time, I will get izso to post something about that. But the info is already widely available in teh web so do some personal research first lah.. okay?
Not satisfied with a shop's work? I hope that it's not my shop LOL!!!
Hmm V engine??? V four???okok..surely not ur shop..
so to make thing more clear ..i want to ask some question:
in the pic i upload the manual says no.1,no,2,no.3,no.4 should be piston number.
the second pic the marking to the Top Dead Center(TDC) should be piston no.1..
if i turn more 90degree clockwise should be piston no.2 ? another 90degree piston no.3 ? lastly 90degree more is piston no.4?
not V engine..same engine with the wira drex doing with it..4G13/4G15..Hmm V engine??? V four???
DREX when you are not doing this answer him!
so u mean piston no.1 & no.3 is on 3o'clock and piston no.2 and no.4 is on 9 o'clock ?Pistons 2 and 4 are 180 degree opposite on crank to piston 1 and 3
You adjust tappets when its 'free' NOT TDC
i think jasma camshaft increase horsepower too.but i have no idea is it tahan lasak or will kaboom your engine after couple year running with it.this blog give dyno chart after installing jasma camshaft.hi, any1 have idea on JASMA camshaft? i believe its the cheapest around, but somehow unable to get any feedback at the moment.
