leads to the WhippledRiv having a broken valvespring on #4...
got the 25k L32 not long ago and now has 60k on it...yup 35k with a VS cam and never reved over 5500rpm and the OE spring broke... he was idling for 10 minutes outside a sales call when it happened... gotta pull the rear cover off to see the extent of the damage but it appears he was luccky and the coils had just started screwing together, hopefully it's the only one...oh and since the SC idler pulley disintegrated (the one on the standoff...a bastard with the G/H body mount) so for the last week it's been NA. it seems he goes NA before every big change...wierd... :lolsign: this will be the first winter the riv's been off the road... eric bought a 700$ 96 cavi to beat on
eric has a stack of parts in his room taller than he is....
for those interested in the parts list waiting to go on this winter...
IS3 heads
arp hardware
IS3 cam (selling for IS4 or if i can convince him, a custom solid roller profile i have in mind)
dbl roller chain
ATI dampner and 8 rib pulleys
150lb hr injectors
AEM inj driver
Weldon 2035 fuel pump (yes, the biggest fucker they make... )
90mm FAST TB and partially finished adaptor plate
a few new whipple pulleys
intense mps for the new mech IC pump, snout support.belt wrap assembly
along with a few other odds and ends
the block will be torn apart and recieving alot of TLC and a good bit of much needed work to the oiling system...whipple will be getting ported (i saw some room for improvement when we had it apart) and a 4t80e/aurora parts will be going in...and the port floors of the heads will be getting tapped for direct port foggers.
now all i can hope for is that eric doesnt find that 200ax he's been looking for....
beware the whippled Riv h34r:
