Alright, after reading that second link I may have measured my push rods wrong. I'll double check tonight to verify it. Someone check my math... My cam: Intake lift: 407 Exhaust lift: 429 So ... .600 - .407 = .193/3 = .0643 on the intake and .600 - .429 = .171/3 = .057 on exhaust...

Here is a good article: http://www.compcams.com/information/Products/Pushrods/ and here is another: http://www.thedirtforum.com/pushrodlengths.htm

Yep, that's right. Just some high temp rtv. make sure you get a nice even and continuous bead.

Jas and Heather came to Columbia this weekend and helped Jill and I tear into the Ty. Here are some pics of what we found. Thanks Jas and Heather! Click here for more Passenger side head gasket failed between the the top center 2 water jackets and the #4 and #6 cylinders. What we were...

Anyone got the part number for the ARP head bolt set for our trucks? What about the intake manifold bolts. Guess I should replace them while I'm at it. Maybe just a new set from GM for the intake?

I know what Heather is getting him.............

1200 miles in 4 years. Its currently running, but not without issues. It did manage to make it from Columbia to KC and back under its own power. Had been driving it as my daily driver for the past month or so. Now its setting in the garage waiting on parts again.

List, After spending some good quality time with my truck over the past few weeks I finally got most of the bugs worked out and it is running strong. However, I seem to be having a problem with my wastegate. It’s a Turbonetics Deltagate mounted on the crossover tube. Before I installed the new...

I have installed the Baer setup on the front and rear of my Ty. Service from Baer was ok, It took them quite some time to get me the front kit. Around a month if I remember correctly. (But all the parts where there when I got it.) I bought the rear kit from a fellow list member who sold his...

All I had to cut on the truck when I installed mine was the fender liner. My kit came with a new hood latch bracket that had already been cut. I just had to remove the original and install the new one. Now actually getting the kit to fit was another story. I cut on the turbo to ic tube many...

I own Ty 2170. I bought my rods from: Eagle ESP Connecting Rods Part #: CRS5700S6 $390.00 http://www.columbusengine.com/ 1-800-345-4545 Its been a while though and that part number doesn't look right. I think it should be Part #: CRS570063D. Give them a call, they were pretty easy to deal...

Mike who? What username does he post under? Any idea how long the board archives posts for? I'd really like to find that post. Thanks, BD

OK, I spent the last hour trying to find an old post that talked about tc installation. I remember there being a post about putting a washer between the TC and flywheel to get proper install depth of the TC into the trans. Anybody got this info? I can't rembember who wrote it, but I thought it...

My last set of tires were SZ50's in 245's. I loved the way they hooked up but they A) didn't last worth a damn, B) cost a boat load, and C) were way narrow. I have Dunlop SP5000's on it now in 255's and love them. They are fat wide too. Later, Brian D.

Jim got some pics of my stock heads. I put them up on the web at: http://www.got-boost.net/history/images/ty2170_l-35_1.jpg http://www.got-boost.net/history/images/ty2170_l-35_2.jpg http://www.got-boost.net/history/images/ty2170_l-35_3.jpg I'm trying to get him to take a pic of the rocker arm...

Bill, I've got the same valve covers on my Ty and the same a2a. I bought the filler neck and cap. I was able to get them to fit by switching them to the other side. I have them on the passenger valve cover instead of the driver's side. The fact the no 2 dequick IC's have the same pipe routing...

Try this: http://www.got-boost.net/engine/intake.shtml These are some picks of my intake manifold and the work that was done. I really don't think the conversion to the 96' heads was that hard. The machine shop drilled and tapped the heads to match my intake and welded up the intake to match...

AH, no matter. Its got 96' Vortec heads on it now. The engine is running great, too bad there seems to be a problem with the trans now. It is SOP for the syty kingdom. Fix one thing, something else unrelated breaks. HA HA. Once again, Ty #2170 is holding the concrete down in my garage. It does...

My wife and I are headed to San Francisco tomorrow for a week. If anyone is in that area and wants to meet up for a beer or something let me know. I'll be checking the board and my email. Later,
