I've taken about a 150 journey on my 960 since replacing the timing belt and all pulleys and belts. More power is obvious, wants to get up and really go now. Im not sure about fuel milage yet, won't the computer have to get a schedual on how I'm driving again for awhile after it sat for three days with the battery disconected? Well again more power, the tranny for some reason seams that it's smoother in shifts, and with downshifting ,when going for the gas.
While the intake cam was mistakenly set by last mechanec, a tooth and a 1/2
retarded, (which I rectified with you peoples kind help) I have noticed 1 other important fact. Before I had an oil problem I wasn't quiet sure of, I replaced my breather box, because oil was coming into the engine through the flame trap. When ever I took the breather off to clean the throttle body I would find a small pool of oil at the bottom of the intake. After getting things back in spec, and a few miles under the belt,no oil pool in the bottom of my intake. Whats happened? Has the increased combustion cause the rings to seal better. I think I noticed that the engine turned over easier before getting things back in spec. After resetting the cams the thing was a bear to turn over by hand.
I'm enclosing a photo of a change made to my air intake a few weeks back,
when up at speed around 50 and up you can tell quiet a diff, also installed a k@n air filter to round it out.
Thanks again
