Engine removal for Nytro headshim??

[347strokin]

A dealership in Edson just told me it's required to remove the engine in a Nytro to install a headshim?
Is this true?

He also said it's a good practice to adjust the valve overlap as well when running a turbo?
Is this necessary?

Thanks.

No you don't have to remove it, but you are so close to having it out with the removal of all the other pieces, it's easier to install the headshim with it out.

As far as the overlap of the valves, I'd call Paul at Impulse Turbo for this one, very knowledgeable and great guy. 801-870-1587

i just finished doing it myself. Mostly for the learning experience but also to keep my cash in my #*$&@ pocket. Check out pictures here:

I did check out your post. That's a lot of work, I should have bought a sled with the head shim done already!

Its time consuming but I look at it from a few different perspectives:

1) You have a greater safety margin when boosting.
2) You can run cheaper fuel at the same boost level.
3) After you have pulled the engine/taken it apart you will be very familiar with everything in case you need to troubleshoot something in the field.

All very good points.
