I was reading threw this thread thinking WOW idiots giving someone advice and recommendations =FAIL!!!

If you dont know what your doing.. your wasting money.. and time.. and an evo isnt a cheap lesson.. do yourself a favor and either directly ask or call a shop on here.. dont make threads you will get alot of bs answers.. more than half the poepl on here have no idea what there talking about!

 

If you are a Fathouse fan, then we assume you are using the QM twin.

The OP has a XTSS ACT clutch which is a pull type.

 

first of all the crank is pulling towards the tranny, i didn't rush a cam job the initial job took two days and it isn't very hard to figure out i-1 thru 5 and e-1 thru 5 and when the head gasket blew the machine shop re-assembled the head and if you can tell if cam journals are off by a few thousandths just by looking then you sir are a liar!!! anyone with any common sense knows not to use a contaminated oil cooler. seriously dont try to come here and start running your mouth. none of this was a rush job and if anything it sounds like i got ****ed by two machine shops, if you've ever been to bakersfield you would know thats normal.

 

itss not hard to sift through the bs but some people have some good advice.

 

LOL WOW. A Fathouse fan?? More like Fathouse is a Mr Blevins fan!! But on a serious note I've been good Friends with Fathouse AKA Jeremy Howell for about 10 years or so now. We go way back... old school DSMers if you will. I help tune his car "notice in his sig where it says snake tuned and BFF Racing" and he helps me as well by building shiz for mine such as my twin pumps etc. But anyway I had my Exedy Push style clutch before he was on his QM actually.

 

OEM oil cooler can't be reused?

 

Not when shavings have went through it... its VERY hard to get all of them out.. Might as well throw on a new one. I went to a AMS oil cooler after my car crank walked. Cheaper then OEM and better.

 

well i know some one that is making 800 and his crank walked and his car was making ticking noises as well almost like the cams where hitting the valve cover

 

Sounds like rod knock.

 

crank walk is overblown

 

4 Motors - 4 people using Quartermaster Twins = 4 blocks with crankwalk.

They were also all built by a local shop.

 

Whos that Juice? what shop.. Is it the thread on Dc evo everyone was discussing? that shop??

 

Yeah, but not all the car owners are talking about it.

It cost me my $4500 stroker, my trans another $2500 to shep, and a clutch I paid $1200 for the QM Twin.

 

from reading i have done its a common thing on the 4g motor maybe not as common on the evos but it is still a 4g. and if it is impossible on a pull type clutch then why is my crank plate hard up on my c.a.s.?

 

So wait because of that shop you had to replace all those items? or thats what blew out as a result of the work? or the clutch itself?
