@yubringbeef Lol!! All my valves were fine. It ran great for a year until one exhaust valve, in the number one cylinder, got stuck open, lol. I'm about to finish my build now. Rebuilt from the bottom up and will be pushing 20psi when I'm done :D

I just bought the mechanical myself. They sell it on Modern performance. Made by PC I. Way better than that hydraulic piece of crap. My welds look worse than that. What size turbo is that? 20g?

[PaulRSTEclipse]

@dtoll2002 Nice man. I got shitty welds cause home depot doesn't sell good welding materials :P That turbo is a T3/T4 hybrid .50 trim compressor with a .63 A/R turbine. Seals are blown on it. Getting another Garrett.

@PaulRSTEclipse Theres a 2g rs with a chev 454 and mustang rear end.

@gump54 Yuppers. Always go OEM if you get a hydraulic tensioner. But I'm switching to a mechanical tensioner because it responds a lot better to a heavier load at higher RPM's.

o i seen that dam hydrolic timming tensener failed on you too......... pain in the ass i know first hand 3 times over

@gdog00187 I thought the same thing when I first took the stock ones out, lol. Then again when you look up the dimensions you think it's shorter since it's measured from the ring land to the center of the rod journal.
