It's an AEM 30-4110 with the bosch LSU sensor. No, the auto tune is not on. If there is some specific info you would like, please ask. I know you to be extremely knowledgeable, I would gladly welcome your help most appreciatively. But if you just want to be a d*ck, I'd prefer you just ignore this thread, thanks.

Forgive me gentlemen, frustration posting. I was looking for a more general cause. I have an electromotive tecGT on a turbo application. I've checked the sensor and it will read rich or lean as appropriate in free air or a gas soaked rag. It's a new sensor. It's maybe had a half dozen hours of run time at idle to 2500rpm. I've just gotten the engine started and I'm now trying to get to a point where I'm able to take it for it's initial drive. I've had a little bit trouble getting a decent base map using the tuning wizard. I've been following the Clewett tuning instructions as a guide. So what seems to happen is I bring it up to 2500rpm and get the AFR to 14ish, then bring to idle and try to adjust there. Everything will be looking fine. But eventually the AFR meter will drift off to full lean. The car is loud, so I'm not hearing an exhaust leak, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

I'm just getting this beast on the road, and I can't seem to figure out this issue. After a while, say maybe 15-20 minutes of warm up, my car starts to read full lean. I can add fuel to the point it wants to stall, and that sensor still reads lean. Starting from cold it behaves as expected, but at some point that stops. Do you think it's a leak in the intake or exhaust that open up at operating temp? I've looked for both, but haven't had any luck. Do you think it's just that AEM controller is junk? I'm at a loss, any direction would be appreciated.

I would say to you " it comes apart a lot easier than it goes back together". What I mean by that is, don't touch anything you don't have to. Trust me on that. I started this project as a young man of 20ish. I just turned 51. I still haven't driven it.

>I think you're mixing metric and English units. Totally possible, and I would be happy to declare that I am, in fact, an idiot! Standby for results.... **edit** Yes boys and girls, I AM an idiot. rossman, send me your next bar tab- It's on me....

Ugh. This project has been on hold for a very long time, and now I'm getting somewhere, or so I thought. This is such an ugly issue that I'd like some input from you guys. After getting the engine started and getting ready for a test drive, I decided to check the valve lash. I've got about half of what I should have (0.016" measured v. 0.030" spec). I'm all the way down on the post- the lock nut is tight to the post. I've got the standard 0.120" pads in there. What I think happened is that the machine shop set the valves too deep. I was smart enough to not trust them, and I did a wipe test on each and every rocker. What they had sent back to me would have definitely self destructed. I've run the engine maybe 10h between break in and assorted testing. All the lobes and rockers look fine. So my question is "now what?" and I fear the answer is that I'm pulling that head and sending it out for a rework. Your comments are appreciated.

I stuffed a bore scope down there and it all looks good

I did pull the valve cover, everything is in order. I doubt that the tensioner has fallen out of place, but maybe it's possible. Do you think that air in the cooling system could be cavitating in the water pump? It does have that 'pumping marbles' sound to it. It'll see if I can get a good clip of it. So far the recordings don't seem to capture the sound well. Thanks

Hey there, I've been here a long time. Somehow 21 turned into 51 in the blink of an eye. But now I've got this project going somewhere again and I'd like some input from you guys. I just started this engine up after it's rebuild- it's been sitting a long time. It fires right up, and runs great. It's just that it seems to make more noise from the timing chain area that I'm comfortable with. The water pump turns freely with no slop, as does the alternator. Is this normal and I'm just paranoid? Any ideas/advice? Should I just run it and hope for the best? There's no sort of grinding or bad mechanical sounds- it's just uncomfortably loud.
