F8L GT Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Im doing a split port swap for a customer and it is my first one. Im opening this thread for any questions that I may have along the way. To start off, I have the passenger head on and torqued down. Now, he brought me everything from an 01, complete with rockers, push rods, the whole top end. Do I use the stock 96 rockers and rods or the 01?

iRoush Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 literally the only difference is the heads and intake from single port to split port so everything else from the 96 should work on 01 parts. but for uniformity is go with all 01 parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F8L GT Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 The single port push rods are just a hair longer that's why I figured is askSent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 What's the best way to do the coolant lines since the old tube that went from the water pump and ran over the intake is now gone in way of the tube mounted to the read of the split port intakeSent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 After getting this thing running, it ran like shit. Ran like it had a huge vacuum leak. Aster running for sometime, noticed coolant leaking from the gurney of the drivers side head. While pulling the head off I found a bent push rod. So I think I find my issue with the shitty idle. When putting the head back on, noticed there's something keeping the head bolt from freely going all the way in. So I think I found where the coolant is coming from. I don't think the head bolt was torqued right because of this. Fingers crossedSent from my MILESTONE3 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
