How B Love im installing rocker arm stoppers?

kensreliableb18b · 10-26-2007, 04:52 PM

take off the front chain guide.

u better hook up ur actuator.

as far as the sound goes, remove ras, inspect, reinstall. and try again.

if it was fine before the install you shouldnt need to bleed the lifters. troiuble shoot from obvious---->>less obvious, never the other way around.

I was thinking it could be the RAS and im thinking of buying some greddy ones and trying those. If it is my motor and not the RAS then Ill have 2 sets of ras for sale soon haha

You probably dont need too if you dont hear them ticking but everytime I pull cams out I just bleed them anyways. Pm me if you need to bleed them I dont want to put a giant post on here

when you loosened your cam cap bolts to get the ras's in there did you only take the one bolt out or did you loosen both bolts on each cap?

Chrischeezer · 10-28-2007, 07:40 PM

Your outa ur mind..
just remove the RAS and see if the sound goes away, no reason to buy another set.

fwuffy squirrel · 10-28-2007, 07:58 PM

omg your right....I guess ill just leave the ras out of my motor =( well you saved me $60 thx

smelly240 · 10-28-2007, 08:17 PM

i seen RAS on motors that still threw rockers - I'm not convinced they do anything - i still run them myself of course. better safe than sorry.

Z U L8R · 10-28-2007, 08:29 PM

i think your lifters pumped up and injested air when you released all the pressure off of them, then you mash em back down with the cam caps and now it's putting a shit load of force on your cams. i think you should take em out and bleed em down.

true story it has happened to me

im sure it would happen more often though if i didnt have the ras

fwuffy squirrel · 10-29-2007, 09:38 PM

okay update is the guy at the dealership was gone today and since there no really in depth walkthrough, im not going to try and bleed my lifters. I really want to do it but I cant even install RAS w/o messing 10 things up and I really need this car to be running.
I have decided to buy Greddy RAS because I want to know if it was the HKS RAS or my motor. If the greddy RAS make the same sound then I know the rocker arms arent seated properly and later on I will fix it.
Im going to the dealer tomorrow to get a bunch of things and tomorrow night 10/30 im gana do all the work and see what happens....with me luck

djcobra · 09-30-2008, 01:33 PM

Any updates on the RAS?

Steve.

Erjay1 · 09-30-2008, 01:49 PM

I doubt its your RAS. It has something to do with the way you put "something" back. I had BC Valve Springs installed and after that my car does the same thing. Really bad grinding noise at start up and grinding/rattle at the top and bottom of a rev. I dont even have RAS. I just chose not to take my car back to this shop anymore. Still have the noise and has been there for over 6 months now. If you find a fix then let me know man. Goodluck.

tt99ol · 09-30-2008, 02:18 PM

did you put the ras on the right sides
the big hole should be on the back
otherwise your cam lobes get no oil
just a thought
