216/218 cam going in as we speak

Re: 216/218 cam going in as we speak
I had 70psi on mine when I did the valvespring swap. That air noise is normal (just air getting past the piston rings and into the crankcase and exiting the pcv system) It is like you are running 80lbs of boost in there
I have always used an impact to do my crank bolt. When installing a NEW bolt, turn the impact to its highest setting and around 110psi and let 'er rip. **Just hand thread it in all the way first to make sure it will not jump threads and cross thread the bolt. (I am not 100% sure if this is accepted as The way to tighten a crank bolt, but it puts it on hard and it has always worked fine for the three times that I have done it)

hell yeah...i'm gonna love it at any RPM lopelopelopelope...hehehe, i dropped a bolt into the oil pan though, it sucked...then i cut the **** out of my hand, but it's almost done, we're taking our time though since i have to wait till tomorrow to get waterpump gaskets since i fudged up the other ones. so it'll be around noon tomorrow and it's on. sorry it's taking so long guys but i don't want to screw it up, hell i spent like 30 minutes making sure the cam was degreed right just checking over and over again. it's getting there though. i know you guys hate me for taking so long but it's close.
