That is great. Hope it works that fast on S4ordie.
Thanks for the laugh.

Nice joke. I was really hoping it would work on the engine though.

Just ordered 5 quarts! That is awesome. Thanks Adam for the video verification of what I've been hoping for.

Believe me Brendan, no one wanted it to work (on the car) more than me.

I'm going to take a stethoscope to it and see if I can pinpoint the source.

If I'm lucky and it is indeed lifter noise, is it possible to get the cam box out with the motor in the car or does the motor absolutely have to be pulled?

It is pretty amazing how responsive the motor is to the throttle. That little blip in the video is from me just barely turning the throttle plate. I hope that's a sign that its nothing major.

The cam boxes DO indeed relatively easily come off with the motor in the car. I say "relatively" simply because the allen bolts holding on the boxes on the outer edge are tough to get to normally.

But with the cam belt off, they do come off quickly once you get those bolts.

Cam boxes come out with the engine in the car.

You will want a "few" different length 6mm allen sockets, to make the job easier.

Do yourself a favor and don't install the "factory" cam carrier gaskets with the moly sprayed on both ends. They will split and leak oil.

We have a non-factory gasket, which we found 15 years ago, that works flawlessly.

$12.95 ea.
3 for $30.00, for when you "tear" one putting it back together.

I would pull the plugs and take a look down each cylinder with a borescope.

Only $100 at HF. That's amazing. Color LCD display and you can snap jpg's. Didn't these things used to run like $400? May have to a make stop to see if they have it in stock.

Well with digital cameras so cheap now days I can see how the price would have gone down. This is a great tool to have and I wish I had one. May add it to my list of tools to get. Saw how useful they can be when I was at SeanR's and he was looking at RKD's pistons.
