yep its up and running again.. hooray!
 i havnt hooked up the vct yet.. i might try do it tomorrow as my ankle and back are not happy with me..ouch... i still might have to change the water pump as when i first put water in there was water leaking out of the pump shaft. but once it warmed up it stopped and hasnt leaked again ..yet. otherwise there is a slight cam chain rattle at about 2000 rpm, hopefully the tensioner will adjust itself after a few kms. and i have only driven about a km (around the block) and considering the vct isnt hooked up yet it goes good.. its really strong after 3500rpm ..so once the vct is hooked up it should be stronger down low...

just a little update.
the water pump s**t itself today  thankfully there not that hard to change... and after driving it around for a few days now the engine is running good. its very very smooth and pulls good in the upper rev range much better than the previous engine!today after changing the water pump i also connected the vct to the output of the bbm signal and its now really torquey down low and still pulls strong in the upper rev range. i could leave it this way but i think the vct needs to switch a little earlier (3200 rpm instead of 3800rpm) as the vct seems to respond a bit slower than the bbm. and by the time the cam timing changes its around 4200rpm so i think i can get better results with a rpm switch.. more updates in a few days when i fit a rpm switch

I know it's better than the ED motor.. but how does it compare to the AU motor in the gold EA before the aux shaft went? Guess what I'm asking is how much difference does the VCT engine make over normal?

Guess what I'm asking is how much difference does the VCT engine make over normal? quite a bit actually! it has more torque and the power is stronger all the way to 5500rpm.. |

nice work there mate,
iv got a quick question for you. a mates of mine was talking to a wrecker today about putting a vct into his ef and they said they hadnt done one yet but there was an issue with a solonoide that ment there would be an issue with the oil pumping to the head? have you had any such issues and if so how have you over come them? cheers
