You should get a manual and torque everything properly, more problems may arise from not torquing them, BTW the 1.6 rockers change your cam characteristics (duration .208/.214 lift .420/.436) so it should be a help in higher RPM.

erm yeah i know all of this already but thanx :tup:
i also bought a torque wrench i will use ftw.
i have a haynes manual but sometimes it can be vague, just looking for the procedures from someone who's done this to a 3.4
Correct, when it gets tight and won't spin then stop and do your 3/4 turn from there. Make sure the pushrod is centered and fully seated in the lifter/rocker.
You don't want to use anything real heavy that could clog up the lifter or pushrod, oil has to squirt through there. Yeah, regular oil will be fine.

thanx, do i lube up the rocker arms and top of the pushrods as well?
I can't wait to get those intakes in so i can finally get this thing done.
A little off topic but...
what do you think about me wire brushing and/or sanding the ports on the UIM and LIM ? just to clear out all the junk mostly, that tooth brush method takes forever lol.
Also, about that stud that is still stuck in my EGR, do you think i should jb weld a nut on top of it and try to get it loose again with a socket?
i would (while you are waiting on the intakes) take the manifold off and bring it to a machine shop and get it done right so you dont mess it up. your heat shield is the gasket so no need for new gaskets.

i don't totally understand....
btw, the manifolds i would be sanding are the ones i am currently waiting for, but i would take both the upper and lower intakes to get done by a shop if you think it would add any gains. any idea on cost for the upper and lower manifolds?
Hrm, a toothbrush and some kerosine in a pan worked well as my parts cleaner. But yeah if you want to dremel them out yourself or have a shop do it, I'm sure it can't hurt. Just make sure to clean them out real good afterwards.
I doubt JB Weld will hold a nut on there well enough to get that out. A real weld might do the trick. Did you check around for a stud extractor?

he meant the exhaust manifolds....thats not going to help 1 iota
ooo sorry camaro 9407, i gotcha now. Well now that i have everything out of the bay, theres certainly enough room to drill down there on that stud.
No zahn, i looked around for a stud extractor and i couldn't find one. (i work at Home Depot and we don't have any) and online, i'm not sure which size to get. Would you have a link to the correct stud extractor?
If i end up drilling that stud could i simply drill a hole through the stud, then put a bolt (small enough to fit in the hole) and a nut and just tighten the nut down real tight? or would I have to rethread the hole?
thanx
max
btw, i will try kerosene next time, the brake cleaner doesn't do very much.
Hello every one, ozzy here ive been looking at this page for weeks now finally joined. So my question is why is it that every turbo build forum just ends...
Just ordered some Toyo 315/35/17 tires for my 17x11 rims. Hopefully I can get them on the beginning of next year. Will post pics.
