I know that the way i worded it , it sounds like im trying to kill my car.
but in fact i actualy take really good care of it.
usualy the 6700 rmp shift happen due to loss of traction, and me not wanting
to loose to that camaro beside me.
so you think that the lash adjusters could go bad after say 20,000km. they
are the new high rpm ones from mp performance, they were supposed to take the
high rpm.
or do you think it could be foaming oil? im using mobil 1 synthetic, 10:30,
i usualy have high oil pressure. but sometimes it does drop. is that normal?
if it was a bad lifter, how could i tell what one it is?
but as i am learning, lots of stuff from mp performance isnt really that
great.
i have put alot of money into this motor, and it should be built to take the
high rpm's,
but for now until i get this problem figured out, i will put the old
computer back in to limit the rpms,
that camaro never stood a chance anyways.
im just trying to figure out what the problem is before i tackle it, i dont
really have the time or money, so i want to make sure what it is before i
start.
this car is my daily driver.
thanks again
Carl.

Hey, first time poster here. but a long time reader.
ok i have a 87 Shelby Z daytona with the 2.2l TII 5 spd. everything was
just
rebuilt about 20,000 km's ago,
here is the problems. when im driving the car hard and shift between first
and
second, around 6700 rpm, the engine starts a bad ticking noise in the
head.
and looses power, not much but noticable. after a while of normal driving
it
slowly goes away. and the second thing is, it has started to blow oil out
the
dipstick tube, but only when i drive it hard.
These are two problems that need fixing and i just need a little direction
on
what to do.
here is a little history of what has been done to the motor,
running around 15lbs of boost.
bored .20 over.
forged je pistons.
balanced.
high volume oil pump.
mp, cam.
larger injectors.
mp double valve spring,
new high rpm lash adjusters.
the usual valve job.
180deg thrmostat
mp stage 2 computer.
performance wires.
short ram intake
hks bov
fresh rebuilt turbo.
3" swing valve, with 3"ss mandrel bent exhaust
w/straigh through muffler and no cat.

Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
