The new engine is so smooth. far out. I havet even got the VVT going,.
in the process of tuning ....ghot idle smooth. occasionally getting bogged down when accelerating. will work on that ove the next few nights.

so one day she dies....runs on 3 cylinders....WTF
one of the spark plugs had flowerbeds completely.
theory was I had burnt out or damaged one of the coils when I wired it up incorrety.

so replace both coils. Car went like a trooper.

for 5 min....

back to 3 cylinders. :shock:

Relaced the CAM angle sensor.... Back to normal.....for 15 min....

dumped Feeninx somewhere near my house. Totally disgusted,

next day
brought along a spare Crank angle sensor

the one fited in the car

If you have a BP4W head sitting around that you don't want anymore, I might be interested. So long as it hasn't been shaved by a billion thou!

not one I'm willing part with at this stage. I do have one lying around and it has been shaved to within the width of a pubic hair of its life. I'm thinking of resurrecting it because I have 2 spare engines.It has bent valve as well as the alloy bits of the valve guides in the camber broke off. unsure if this is salvageable or not.
