    timing set but do rotation check its always half tooth off

    I had the same issue and I changed my tensioner and that solved the issue for me. Also make sure when you take the pin out of the hydralic tensioner that you can put the pin back in.

    Bad Oil Leak

    Also since you are missing those two bolts right next to each other, if you started the car before the rtv had time to cure it would cause a leak for you as well. If i was you i would just take the oil pan off and redo everything and add those bolts just so you only have to do it once and you...

    Vibration issue please help

    So I finally got the car up on jacks and checked the tires and when i was doing this I noticed that there is like an arm or something that comes from higher up on the spring and reaches out to a piece close to the top of the tire that goes down to the hub and i guess they are bushings but they...

    Then why is it that the 420a can't get as much power as the 4g63? I am sorry if that is a stupid question but I have heard so many different answers.

    I do have a fully ported head with oversized valves, crower springs and retainers, and soon to have crower cams and cam gears. I was just asking a question to see if it was possible since no one has done it or even tried it. I don't know where the 1000hp came from. I just know my internals and...

    Hey guys, So im doing the timing on my built turbo 420a. I have to do this because my stupid hydraulic tensioner failed on me and it walked toward the engine and started shredding itself. So i am doing a mechanical tensioner conversion and i wanted to put on an aluminum crank pulley. But i...

Glad that is what i was supposed to do haha.Well by the sounds of it i'm going to go low impedance injectors...

    420a gasket kit

    I would definitly go with fel-pro. I love mine and i would definitly not go with the ebay kits. Especially since these engines are known for oil leaaks. Plus if you want to turbo it or anything you are not going to want those.

    Strangest issue ever!!!!!

    Hey guys, I was driving my freshly built 420a with 1200 miles and it started to make a noise at 2000 rpms. It sounds like someone is fastening up a zip tie really fast. It is very short and the noise doesnt keep happening. What could this be?? Any ideas?? thanks
  48. FRslimmyjim

    How much average for 420a?

    I have a stock 420a long block with 104,000 miles that ran great when i took it out. PM me if you want it.
