man look those cams will wait, your friend needs you and thats more important then these cams.

Whenever you get to it you get to it. No rush as I dooubt anyone here has the cash in hand waiting to hear from you. And if they do they can wait.

 

Cams are in just cant get the car to turn over

 

you mean, turn the ignition and it goes click? electrical maybe?

 

Does the starter engage but the engine won't turn over? Did you double check the timing chain position? Can you turn the engine by hand at the crank pulley? Did you connect engine ground wire? Just some ideas....

 

we are gonna go over these things in the morning,I have to go to work now,Im still concerned that the rollers under the intake cam are loose as a goose and the rollers underneath the exaust cam are tight and not moving> I hope that when it turns over the intake rollers pressurise and snug up to the intake cam

 

everything is on hold Maven just gave me some info pertaining to the camshaft bolt,I need a new one, they are a one time bolt

 

Hope everything goes well for your friend that was hit on the motorcycle. I am a rider myself..

 

Mike, yes, The cam gear to camshaft bolts are torque to yield. Good practice says to change them; but the clamping force required can be extended to another use if need be. I've done enough ECO camshaft swaps to come to this conclusion. Plus, the fact that the bolts are pretty expensive.

If you need any help or guidance for your no start condition, just holler.

 

Does the 2.4 have a cam sensor like the 2.0L? If that is not timed (slot correctly aligned) the car will not start. I had to re-adjust mine as it was reinstalled by the machine shop at a different timing place. The car ran perfect after that.

 

bump lets not lets this go!

 

I'm hoping thats it.

 

promice to all,if my buddy does not have a solution tomorro,on thursday im towing it to a performance shop

 

I have found that 2.2L cams do not work in the 2.4L (more on this later). Please make sure the cam you have installed is in-fact keyed for the cam sensor.

 

Lol.... wonderful input on the subject. Thanks.

 

I'm just offering ideas. Sometimes its the simple things that get overlooked.

 

The cams only fit one way into the head, so that is not a possibilty. I still haven't heard from you Mike.. can you fill me in with whats going on?

 

I pulled apart a 2004 2.2 to take a look at the cams. The 2.2 cams in that 2004 did not have a hex or any other provision for a cam sensor. My 06 2.2 cams did not have any provisions for a cam sensor either. I'm only offering ideas.

 

Uh Oh this does not bode well for us 2.4 guys.

I'll be keeping an eye on this, good luck Mike.

 

This is not an indication of problems for the 2.4 guys, just those who get help from inexperienced friends to "re & re" the cams. Mike will be fine as he is going to get a shop to complete the install.

 

I'm not saying your wrong but I hope your right!

 

Considering I have talked to Mike I would say that's a safe bet.

 

Give me one of your turbos. Now.

 

The car is going in at noon tomorro,to the "cam guys" my bud droped the ball on me,otherwise I did to,its been one heck of a week,sorry to you Mev and all,gonna cost some bucks but otherwise it is gonna finally be done

 

good luck with the install, just curious did the shop give you a quote for how much it will cost to see whats wrong?

 

Did not ask,cause I dont care I just want to be driving,Ill let you know on the cost tomorroo
