Mystery Solved!!
So after all this time, I was finally able to find out the cause of my timing belt jumping!! It turns out that that the distributor I was using had WAY too many washers between the distributor housing and the piece that goes in to the cam itself. When the distributor was tightened in to place, it was forcing the cam to bind.
I am not sure why it started happening now, this distributor has been used for a long time.

When I was setting up the timing I was able to duplicate the binding while turn the engine by hand. This also makes sense to why I didn't take off any valves.
Only the 2 un-circled washers should be installed. mine had all 5!
The motor is all back together and running. Just a few things to finish up and it will hopefully be back out to the track soon!

 

Nice work, really like how the cage turned out.

How do you like the HTE-R?

 

I really liked the seat. I actually just sold it though.The back was sitting too close to my harness bar, so it was either get a new seat, or start cutting/welding the cage. It was very comfortable though. I would definitely recommend it.

 

Updates Please.

 

Why do you need to install washer to distributor? I mean, why it had so many washers?

 

They aren't supposed to be there. I have had this distributor for a long time and never noticed it.

I really need to update this thread more.

 

For anyone who wants more information on the Racepak dash, Here is an article I wrote for Driving Line Magazine.

Damn, I really need to make some updates on here.

 

The car ended up having a good year. Had over 12 days on track and I went through the NASA competition school. I have also decided that I will NOT be going to Honda Challenge and instead will be going to ST4.

 

Do you plan to install canards?

 

Nice build! I've added the torque seal and gold reflective tape to my list.

 

No not as of right now. I am trying to keep the setup as simple as possible so I can carry over to the NASA Western Endurance series without making many changes to the car.

 

Few more photos from 2017. The car was super clean in the first picture. It had just had some professional photos taken of it.


Getting signed off for NASA Comp School
Last event At Buttonwillow Raceway in December. way down on power and buring lots of oil.

Word thats whats up. Congrats on the feature! Thats a nice build and 15 yrs you had that?! Thats a record for anyone i know especially being here in cali with these dongbat drivers. lol

 

Thanks!
It's been in the garage for about 10 of those years. but the body has over 200,000 miles on it! so it's definitely been driven.

 

Love this build, more updates please!

Congrats on the feature, the pictures look amazing.

 

Thanks!

I've been making some changes. I'll try to remember to take more photos tonight when working on it.

 

Really good looking car, wish I was capable of keeping a car longer than a year or two watching it develop is half the fun.

 

I just went through this build thread the other day. Glad to see it got bumped with an update. I will probably ask you suspension questions sometime in the near future.

 

Getting the car back together and my swirl pot from TracTuff arrived. The fit and finish of this is SO nice! I couldn't be happier with how this came out.

 

I was looking through Super Street when I spotted this. Congrats on the article! I do have a question. What color is your interior painted?

 

Thanks!
It's Krylon Charcoal grey.

 

Noice!
