i just did a headgasket on my sr redtop and almost get it all back together and like the wizard i am i dropped a bolt for the top chain guide down the bottomless pit where the chain goes.

anyway how the hell do i get it out....magnet? drop the pan?

and if you say take the engine apart, i will say "anyone wanna buy an SR?"
haha

HELP!!!!

ps, my friend said g20 cams will work and are more aggressive for the SR, is he full of it?


Thanks

Yeah hopefully that shit didn't fall into the oil pain. Magnetic wand ftw.

You must have forgotten you're talking to 240 owners. For most of them it's hard to breath air, don't even think about them trying to be careful.

Thank you, at least somebody understands, but i was able to get it out with a magnetic stick. thanks for the help guys...

so nobody knows if the infiniti g20 cams are in fact more aggresive and will work on the redtop?....

how much more aggressive?

last time i checked it was marginal, less than 256...

I mean 256 isnt enough seat of the pants for me or anyone looking for 350and up hp anyways.

im lazy whats the specs?

hay miles it turns out that the cams out of the fwb sr are the same on the intake side but a tiny bit longer duration and a little bit of overlap, so not worth the time. i wonder about the ca16 or ca18...

n/a cams'll help a little. but you really need to stop granny shifting and not double clutching like you should =]
