Hey guys just wanted to say hey after a long period of goneness. Yes I had a wron out axel in my last post about the exhaust cam and I ran it for 8 months before I replaced it. It was scarey. The 16valve is still going strong only it is getting tired. The head is getting noisy and there is some bottom end noise when its cold. I have since removed the Motronic engine management system and went to CIS basic with no O2 sensor. That means no ISV, no electronic feul presure regulator, and a lot of other less hassels. She's a little hard to start on cold mornings but with the addition of a push button to prime the engine with the cold start injector it's not so bad. Once its warmed up it goes like a raped ape!!! And I am not constantly making ajustments to compensate for the poor state of the Motronic system. Anyways just wanted to say hey so Hey, :D
