So my husband and I pulled my head, while it was off, I replaced the springs with Kiggly Racing beehive Street Steel springs, replaced the seals, relapped the valves using the lapper tool, cleaned it to the best of my abilities and put it back on with my new ARP Head Studs and Cometic Head Gasket. As a surprise, he also bought me Crower 272 cams and Forced Performance exhaust manifold. I bought the new turbine housing for the 14b and we put it together. Well, he did 90% of the putting together . So, I crank it, and it sounds okay, however, it wont stay cranked. I'm stock other than the above mentioned info and a cat back exhaust and FMIC. He's looked into it and so have I and we can't seem to get a real clear answer as to why this is happening. Just a few guesses. I dont have tuning software at all, and once he mentioned that the cams were too big with no tune, that it could be the answer, and I agree. I would just like to get some opinions as well, and hopefully a 100% right answer. Any and all help would be appreciated. I just wanna drive my baby again.
Thanks,
Sara
