Hey guys, I just installed the rmw head and first of all, the cam journals was sharp at the edge so I had to sand the edge off for the cam to sit fully, the camshaft bearing cap holes were dented from jan, so I had to grind and I finally got it to fit. I am using a stock cam since I did not get Jan’s camshaft with the head yet. Whenever the cam comes I will wait for another time to install. Started her up and she does idle but she idles very very rough. Found a couple hoses and plugs undone to which I connected and it didn’t solve the problem. I am hoping that I just did my spark plug wires in the wrong order. Maybe it’s that idk what do you guys think?

i also hear a very loud screeching sound coming from the supercharger. I did the service. One of the drain plugs was rounded on the pulley side so I had that side sent to a welding shop for them to remove the screw and rethread a new screw in to which they added a 15 mm hex screw as the drain plug. Has a gasket and fits well. Ofc it’s longer when looking at it from the inside but the thing is it didn’t seem to hit anything. I used a gasket maker for all the mating surfaces, also checked all the gears of the supercharger and everything is in perfect condition.

also forgot to say that my rpm’s rnt reading. Idk if that’s related to my spark plug wires since they cant read a steady revolution Yk?

i don’t know where I have gone wrong please let me know where I can start. Thanks!

 

send it back and go thumper...
The loud screeching may not he your sc it might be cam ir crank grinding..drop some oil and inspect for metal flakes and lmk what you find..

 

That being said the only viable head these days is from veicomer

Edited out unnecessary personal and rude commentary..

The Devil Z, this is not the first time we've had to clean up a post of yours. Please make an effort to remain civil. Thank you.

 

took apart the mini today and found out the two hoses that are connected to the sc intake was unplugged which is why we heard the sc. now the car doesn’t have a screeching sound but still idles rough. I removed my valve cover and checked if I’m in time and i am! I have no idea what the issue could be.

After you played musical Cam cap and ground down more material I am sure you have lots of issues. Its natural for even the mini castings to have pourus pivots on the journal surfaces. But again You admitted to messing up your head. Now you want people to tell you its going to be all right. Bottom line you F U C K E D your head.


For the record here is your original post from here as I see your now changing it to suite your situation from being called out.
