So I put on GN-1 heads and an ATR 214/208 cam to a low miles (6K) motor and installed it. During the cam break-in, the headers started glowing red hot after a couple minutes!
It's been suggested that this could be because the cam sensor wasn't set properly. I used the cam sensor setting tool and followed the instructions carefully. Everything seemed to go, and check out according to the instructions...with the exception that I the cam sensor leads are in the 3 o'clock position vs. the "typical" 4 o'clock position shown on the diagram on the cam sensor setting instructions.
I also got MAL code 42 right away on my scanmaster (along with the engine check light).
So I ran it for 10 minutes at ~2,700 rpms until the temp. reached 205 degrees...and then I shut 'er down.
So...what's the problem and solution? The only other thing I thought is that maybe I was running super-ultra lean, but my fuel pressure was solid at 42 psi.
TIA,
Terry
