    need help with detonation at low boost

    Thank you, I believe it is definitely the cam. I pulled the valve covers today and one rocker arm is moving about a 1/4 of normal travel and two others are at about 1/2 travel. I appreciate the help from everyone to narrow this down. As much as I didn't want this to be the problem, at least...

    need help with detonation at low boost

    Thanks to you both. So what is the popular cam these days. Should I go roller. Are they now reliable? I'll take any suggestions. Any suggestions on a shop in the Maryland area to do this work? The car has ported stock heads, bigger valves, TE60, bigger downpipe, etc. Thanks for any advice.

    need help with detonation at low boost

    It is a Reed Cams 210/205 circa 1998. It has been in there since then and has about 30,000 miles at most. As far as testing it, I don't have a dial indicator so other than pulling the valve covers and watching the rocker arms I wouldn't know. Could this also be a bent pushrod? Thanks

    question about front backspacing with 17's

    I have looked through the threads, but can't find an exact answer on this issue. I want to put a 17x8 up front with a 3.5 in. backspacing with 245/45/17. Will it rub? Will a 4.5in. backspacing wheel in a 17 rub less? Thanks for any help!

    Will a bad lifter cause emissions failure?

    I have a semi-bad lifter. It seems to be OK most of the time, but usually after I run the car hard it taps loudly for a few seconds. After that it is usually fine with no audible problem. I just put in a oil pressure gauge and pressure is at 40 psi when above idle and cruising, but it is at 10...
