Man I haven't seen you since the time I came up to your shop with Lawrence and ou were just talking about the duratec engine in the 240. So was it something repairable or did you really **** something up? I need to catch up with you sometime!

What's that dragster minivan doing?

TerribleOne · 12-03-2012, 11:32 PM

Guess what? It's broken again. I've been fighting valvetrain issues for the past few months.. Haven't really had time to work on it every day, but today I finally tore into it and found the variable valve timing actuator to be faulty which is what's been giving me all the excessive valve train noise. Still haven't made the decision to ditch it or just get a modified actuator with hardened stop pins etc.. Should have a new turbo in soon and possibly new injectors.

The drag car is in hibernation.. It'll be out next spring for a good shakedown, I'll add more details about it later.

It runs again, and quite well too.. Figured out how the VVT wasn't getting oil and I've got a new turbo on order.
