The Scope – it has crept a bit..
Yeah, so what I’ve learned over the past few weeks is that my engine, while producing good power, reliability, and fuel consumption, is not optimal in it’s state of tune. I placed an innocent call to weber guru Jim Inglese regarding sending my IDF’s up to him for some fettling, and came to understand from some symptom and engine spec analysis that my carbs were too small and the lobe spacing on my cam was too tight. Nice. Well, I’ve never liked the “bling” of the chrome IDF’s and have always had a lust for the larger 48 IDA’s, so the IDF’s are now in a “sale pending” status, a new cam has been spec’d and this is what my present engine bay looks like:
I plan on placing an order with Jim over the next week or so, so stay tuned for some new eye candy. First up though is ordering the new cam and going through the swap-out procedure. This will be my first one, so I’m reading up on it as much as I can, and am generally looking forward to the learning experience. Between the intake, cam, and changing out the oil pan gasket, a lot of my engine will be taken apart over the next coming weeks. Should be awesome!
-Allen.
