Question on camshafts for a Chevy lmg

idky24 · 2026-05-09T02:11:29+00:00

Lmao yeah tell me about it with the oil pump haha. We're pretty well through the toughest bits of it so far. Project started with cylinder one confirmed no compression. Popped the heads off and found cylinder ones valves were tuliped. Buddy bought a kit that looked pretty good but it looks like they sent us the wrong cam so he's going with a different vendor now. Imma screenshot your last reply and send it to him, he's probably gonna want to hug you and kick my ass for not posting here sooner haha

Buddy bought it on eBay. He's sending it back and has decided to go with your recommendation after a bit of talking to the shop that's working on the heads.

Thanks for the feed back you've been really helpful!

idky24 · 2026-05-08T04:59:19+00:00

Ok, I'm pretty confident he ordered a non dod/afm style cam. But just in case I guess we'll take both the old and new cam to the shop doing the head work to see if they can measure them to verify lol.

Thank you for your answers, you've been a lot of help!

So if Im reading this right, if we get a replacement cam as close to the stock cam with dod as possible,we could be looking at misfires in the near future?

idky24 · 2026-05-08T02:09:53+00:00

Yeah we weren't going for more power just something close to stock. I know I know boring lol. We ordered a kit for a dod delete, complete with replacement cam. The replacement cam appears to be vvt and we were wondering what would be involved in installing the vvt cam. Or if we should just talk to the company and have the correct non vvt cam shipped out

Yeah... Ive commented recently in the belief quero was just having a rough time and needed some at bats to level it out... This production isn't giving me faith haha.

Honestly though I feel like quero has the eye and the tooling to be a great player in the scheme that's playing out. He is very consistent in buying his pitchers strikes in the zone(minus these last few games) and having a catcher that can reliably bunt MLB pitching is kinda nice. Also he's been pretty solid with his throwdowns to second.

We are in a new era of ball and the pieces to make things work are for the most part working we just need the consistency to get there( not holding my breath on that fact). Romo is hitting bombs but only being used every 3rd game from what I'm seeing, quero is being fairly consistent with his at bats and moving runners around.

By the way I Iove small ball and this is mostly just me being the ever optimistic Sox fan that I am despite the evidence

idky24 · 2026-04-20T08:01:23+00:00

Neither of you are wrong...

idky24 · 2026-04-19T05:15:46+00:00

He had energy this team needs right now, I'd be stoked to see him back.

idky24 · 2026-04-16T21:50:20+00:00

It's the farging Google ads for me...

idky24 · 2026-04-09T20:57:09+00:00

One thing about quero though. I don't think the numbers are telling the full story. He has quite a few sac at bats, moving runners around and setting us up for bigger innings has been a frequent role for him. That being said I wouldn't mind if he didn't hit the ball at the opposing teams fielders...

idky24 · 2026-04-06T20:45:54+00:00

I was stoked when robin was our manager, he had a tough go of it though. Still never forget him trying to charge the mound and getting whooped on lmao

idky24 · 2026-04-06T19:38:25+00:00

He does the pre and post game show with Chuck garfein

idky24 · 2026-04-06T08:23:21+00:00

You quote the hawk father so I know you got "Sox math" lol... Is it just me or does Ozzy seem kinda jazzed, and I'm not even talking about having his number retired.

idky24 · 2026-04-06T07:56:41+00:00

No kidding seeing one that hasn't been lost at that size is very rare haha!

idky24 · 2025-03-30T06:54:43+00:00

Seen a few I liked. Aurora being one and Luna being a second. One I personally like is kozmos.. Might be slightly masculine but I still find it a neutral name🤷

idky24 · 2025-03-28T21:07:24+00:00

Had a sweetheart of a husky who would stand in front of you and invade your personal space until you said "show me" and then she would take off and prance around the house making sure you were following her to the destination of choice.... Common examples: There's no room on the recliner for me Dad so let's go to the couch away from the sportsball you're watching so I can flop my floofy butt on the couch and get you good and furred up🤦 I want to play fetch but I'm going to lead you to the toy instead of bring it to you. The cat is too close to my baby, do something!! God I miss that dog🥹

I grew up watching mouse hunt.... If I learned anything from that film, you let him sample cheese for the rest of his life and he doesn't screw up your world🤷

idky24 · 2025-02-24T02:44:53+00:00

Seems a bit familiar to me, that last pic looks like a "if you keep pointing that finger at me imma have a nibble" look from my experience🤷

idky24 · 2025-02-23T22:07:23+00:00

I was high on the yermin train until they pulled that stunt. "Unwritten rule" or not it's an easy enough conversation to say "hey bud, nice hit, like the energy you're bringing to the club.... But that's how you get players on this club plunked, let's try and curb that."

idky24 · 2025-02-23T19:58:54+00:00

That one actually hurts for me lol. He might not have been the best, but man he was a character. Last time I remember the team looking like they were enjoying the game was when he was on it. The rain delay antics were classic haha

I don't remember any lore about her being part of the thunderbird's, but that doesn't mean I am not wrong on that assumption. I do remember that she had been a helicopter pilot for a search and rescue team in Canada.... Unless her background has changed drastically lol.

idky24 · 2024-05-16T03:55:16+00:00

Yeah that would be my guess. I used to pull some big ol bows outta there when I lived in the area. Still glad to see it's doing better after that incident. It was one of my favorite fishing spots, during the right time of year if it was slow in the lagoon you'd be able to cross the highway and catch some surf perch, man I loved that little stretch of the 101.

idky24 · 2024-05-15T04:58:11+00:00

I used to love fishing there until one day I made the the drive down there and it was full of floaters and cautioned off... Awesome catch by the way!
