Well, I finally bit the bullet and am installing my bbk! I have a question though. Upon com pairing the stock parts to the kit parts I noticed there's a metal hose that is supposed to connect to the head(I think) and it's not on the kit piece. What am I supposed to do with it since there will be nowhere to install it? Here's a pic attached. It's in the bottom left corner. Thanks -Tim Attachments:

Yep, that's just the pair system. There should be a tube coming off your intake manifold and you just plug it up. I might recommend getting a new intake manifold without the extra nipple so you don't have that extra hose just hanging around there Good luck!

Well got it all put back together and took it for a short easy ride. Everything seems to be working well, I need to adjust the valves as there's an excessive ticking that wasn't there before.
How long is a safe break in period before I don't have to worry?

[replyingto=z0m8i3]Z0M8I3[/replyingto]wait 50 miles before you go WOT at all. Do an oil change at your first 100, 300, and 600 mile intervals. After that your break in is close to complete. No WOT for more than 15-20 seconds at a time until that last oil change, and even then it's better to lay off WOT as much as you can help it ;D
Congratulations.

Than you I can definitely tell a difference in speed already. Before I had to wot to get 30 and now it's only half. I've put rouly 10 miles on it, I'm slowly getting there. Keeping off wot will be hard due to hills but it's all good ;D Now to get the other parts!

One more question, at about 25mph there's a rattling noise...is that normal and will it go away over time?
Thanks -Tim

I'm just curious what would cause it. No noise until 20 -25 mph and higher. Haven't gone wot at all. Everything is tight so it's kind of confusing.

I'm just thinking out loud here but is there a chance it could be the timing chain maybe needs re-tensioning or something? It seems to happen at mid-range and up would be the best I could describe.
I just REALLY don't wanna mess my scoot up.

What gas are you running? Maybe your new setup is higher compression and you are actually hearing knock or ping.
