Cam & Valve Timing & Power Loss
Well I have been scratching my head for some time now so I'll try this forum.
Car was running great with a few oil leaks, decided to fix the leaks requiring case split and new sealant. (Didn't have Waynes book during the rebuild 1.5 years ago and I used the wrong case sealer).
Put everything right back together and now I have to feather the clutch to get started in first gear, once I get up to speed everything motors along fine, but if I have to start from scratch it's the same thing over again. The strange thing is I can put it in reverse and she pulls great (can even get her up the steep driveway).
At first I thought cam timing causing low end power, but I just finished checking it and on the left cam I have .051 and the right cam .060, which for the 964 cam is perfect on the left side and from what I can tell it's ok on the right (I will get it to a nat's butt tonight).
So the only other clue is maybe something is wrong with the clutch. That is where I installed some new hardware (Shift fork, helper spring & throw out bearing)
I also thought I might switch back to the non-platinum plugs.
Any other ideas, Johnny Walker, Wayne, Warren, Tyson. Somebody help I want to drive....
As always, Thanks...
