I'm sure you know of me then. It's a light blue primered probe. Which I plan on building up and turboing sometime in it's future. I've just been buying parts here and there for it when I have spare cash. No real hurry till I collect everything. I'm living in West Carrolton as of march. You...

If anyone is interested I can trade a tricked out spyder paintball marker. :shrug: Just thought I'd offer since I have it up for sale. It was appraised at $350. I really need a head in good shape so I can get rid of the smoking leaky valve seals and worn out guides in my current situation.

I'm looking for a reasonably priced complete with cams cylinder head. Please include shipping in your quote. Thanks.(thought)

Yeah that hole is there, but it wouldn't be doing anything if the inserts I made were pressed in. A noise that gets louder and more annoying by the day. It's crappy to pull up to a light and people look over at your car and think something is wrong with it because of the ticking. You'd...

I'm not sure if that would work but it would be worth a shot. I was thinking today maybe I could get a machined insert to fit inside the lifters I have that replace the hydraulic part with a solid peice of metal that I could shim from the inside to the proper size for each valve.

It's not really a matter of over complicating it. It's a matter of getting rid of hydraulic lash adjusters to help solve the problem. Maybe if someone would make a high output oil pump for our motors then I wouldn't be looking for other alternatives. Although I'm not really sure that's...

Would you be able to get a picture of the shim? I used to work at a tool and die shop and I can pick up shim material in .002 to .02 and just cut it to the shape I need. Unless it's a formed shim which could make it a lil more interesting. I'm going to have custom cams made so maybe i could...

any new info for me?

Happen to know how much solid lifters with shims will cost me new?

This thread is great for info thanks a lot with all your help.

I've heard of my engine being considered the fs2 before but so many people ruled that as not the name of the motor that we just call it the fs series. Is fs2 marked on the head and what car was that out of? I'd be willing to bet it's identical to what I have now. also I believe the size...

A blow off valve is atmospheric. Whereas the bypass valve dumps back into the system. The bypass valve may make noise but not nearly as loud as a BOV would.

top to bottom of bucket is .937

OK, here's the dimensions I came up with for my lifters. (Height=distance between the top of the valve to the cam) the height is .746 I'm guessing when it's running it's closer towards .75. and the diameter of the lifter is 1.180. you can check and find out if they are the same. I'd imagine...

I have a 2.0l also. It's the same in the series as yours. I'm interested in at least trying these. I can mic mine tonight when I get off work and give you a diameter and length but mine are hydraulic and it'll be hard to give a length dimension since they move. It's worth a shot though...

Anybody got 16 lifters they wanna get rid of?

I don't own a protege at all but I do live in dayton. I own a 96 probe se which has a similar mazda FS series motor in it though. ForceFed, I think I saw your MSP at kilkare a week or two ago. I've got a blue primed Probe if you've seen it. It's pretty recognizable. Also anybody near us...

Ok, I was just reading along looking for some info because I heard from someone the newer FS series motors had solid lifters. Which it's obvious now that I'm reading this post that they are not. I've owned a 96 Probe SE for 3 years and have read up on this "ticking". It is the lifters which...

I myself prefer the twisties. but as for straight line power i can see where your coming from. because you can keep that power through the shifts.

stated in Maximum Boost by Corky Bell / page 24 chapter 3 "A compressor has a particular combination of airflow and boost pressure at which it is most efficient. The trick in choosing optimum compressor size lies in positioning the point of maximum effenciency at the most useful part of the...
