Cant idle after cam install.
Sup everyone. I just got done installin my new camshaft from Delta. Its got a duration of 272 and a max lift of 425. Right now I'm runnin it on the stock valvetrain because the folks from Delta told me that was fine. I plan to get aftermarket components in the next week or so. I'll have random pics we took about halfway into the install up later.
I just got done performing the break in precedure, and waitin for it to cool off so i can check the valve lash again. Right now it wont idle and valve lash was done twice. Is it commonly neccessary to have to adjust the idle speed screw or do i have other problems? Thanks. Motor is D16a6 and i'm using stock valvetrain and cam gear. Could the cam install itself just have me off until I get an adjustable cam gear?

Ignition timing i cant get because i cant get it to idle so i can check it. Cam timing is unknown, i think it might be off because of the cam and i dont have an adjustable gear yet.

Re: Cant idle after cam install. (89SiPimpin)
Well, I just took her for a drive, she refuses to idle and cuts off if i dont give it gas. Pulls pretty good and smooth throughout the powerban, maybe a little bit sluggish down low, sounds a little more agressive, but i feel there is more power to be gained once i figure out what this problem is and probbly when i get a cam gear.
