16:59 Christian Brothers Automotive is where I towed my BRZ with a blown FA20. You must be in FL possibly Tampa Area

[@MrTurboOfficial]

Nope, I’m in NC. Good luck on the BRZ!!

Fr keep it up bro!

[@agon5850]

just a fyi you did not put the 2 o-rings on the heads before putting on the cam carriers

[@agon5850]

4 in total 2 on each head*

[@MrTurboOfficial]

I did! I believe I pointed it out in the video where they go but may not have filmed actually putting them in.

@@MrTurboOfficial ahh okay I see

Is there a way to tell if the timing chain is too tight? I’m psyching myself out a bit after putting the chain on. Looks like you pulled the pin then it clicked once more?

[@MrTurboOfficial]

It should be loose enough to get it on and yeah, normally the tensioner will click a notch or two when you pull the pin. Sometimes you have to turn the crank a little to get them to move much though. Bottom line, all that really matters is the paint marks line up to where they are supposed to go. If everything lines up, spin it over a full cycle and make sure the timing marks (cam to cam on each side and crank) are still lined up.

How bad is it if rockers got mixed up but this shims did not?

[@MrTurboOfficial]

They should be pretty close so not as big of a deal. I would measure the clearance and check them if you’re able.

@@MrTurboOfficial thank you! I appreciate you getting back to me

[@MrTurboOfficial]

@nishim0to No problem! Good luck!
