Vibration issue with Cam swap
Monday, June 27, 2005 1:58 PM
Anyone have any issues with the "secret" cam swap and vibration....Im not sure if they are related, but I had the entire motor rebuilt and after I dropped it in, it runs fine but vibrates bad....wonder if there is a possibility that the flywheel got bent while installing the motor.....

any ideas?

are they timed correctly? if they're off it'll be rough I'm told.

If you mean the entire motor is shaking, then I'd double check your timing. My engine rocked like all hell when the timing was off.

When it's all said and done, your car should feel like stock with the secret cams.

could have something to do with the installation, not just the product.

not trying to say you did something wrong, but there's a lot of issues that can happen with bad timing.

How can i check the timing, the other issue i see is the tube coming from the breather that recirculates the exhaust gas back to the intake has quite a bit of smoke coming out of it. Would that be a timing issue as well?

I had a lot of smoking issues after my cam swap, but it could've been other things for me... as far as I know, the only way to check the timing is get to where you can see the cam gears and crank position. I could be (and hopefully am) wrong.

would an ODBII scan be able to tell me if my timing is off?

Yeah my car ran smooth as hell after the cams. It's SO easy to get the cam one notch off or have the chain just not sit right.
