the 2004 3-7/8 cylinders, 15V L61

what I found in the head


#3 piston (light weight mod)(happened prior to the broken lash adjuster


Jay helping with the tear down


The cause of the fallen follower (snapped lash adjuster)

Where to start...

Typical fidanza flywheel failure...


Intermediate shaft failure, took out the diff cage as well


Engine block failure


Melted head gasket


Think thats it. Better be it, damnit.

Proof. Like specs on the cams. I have not seen documentation on this. Sounds like bs, but please proove me wrong.

I really don’t have to prove anything lol, I measured them before I put it on to make sure everything was fine, had a higher lift for sure but can't remember about the duration. If you chose not to believe me then that’s your choice. not going to track down the new driver ( in Ottawa) pull off the valve cover measure it then do the same to mine and take pic’s just to "prove you wrong" hell even I could be wrong, I could be wrong about the make and model also. but I measured it and it had higher lift,

Portage, MI

here are a few of mine. Nothing major just broke my timing chain after 220,800 miles. havent tore the motor apart yet to check for internal damage but i'm sure it broke something. we just put a new motor in since i had a eco to start with.




then a week later after changing my motor after the timing chain break i did this. broke a brand new axle right in half..
