Is that noise a result of the intake camshaft endplay? The shaft getting right up on the bearing races right after getting adjusted. Then the increased rpm from racing the motor rejostled the camshaft back into it's happy place? Eh? Meh...

Hi guys I've contacted sales about my poster order it got returned to sender as I forgot to put my house number on the order 🙃 Please help if you can ❤

I still don’t have mine! Canada post are on strike!! 😢.. been waiting for weeks now!

What a great episode. The energy and friendship between you and tuning folk runs deep and you can tell and that made the episode so much more..

I hope Haltec understand how important Scotty is for their brand. The man is a solid dude and an excellent ambassador for the brand.

Him and MCM are the only reason I know who they are and if I was looking for engine management, I'd look for haltech just because of that.

@@spruce1509 I saw Scotty one day at Time Attack at Sydney Motorsport Park. I got butterflies and felt like I just saw a celebrity. He is also a very tall dude.

[@davisharr]

I really enjoyed his technical talk this episode, talking us through what he is doing in an easier to understand way for the average car guy. Not giving the pros a lesson on how to tune, but giving us avg. car owners better understanding of what the tech does and what our own tuners may be doing.

[@BB-pf2cs]

If only Haltech put some time and effort into VQ25det support 😢❤

[@nighthawk0077]

This Haltech bloke is the real deal. Power under the curve instead of chasing a peak number all day. AND never thought how important that first 100KW is. You want a car that acts and drives like stock. No weird issues or unwanted behaviour.

[@mashedpotatoes77]

Seeing the Tuning Fork work is like watching a wizard casting a spell

[@russelljimenez4715]

Someone should invent a device, like some sort of box that contains gears or something. This would allow for you to change the ratio of engine speed to wheel speed and put you further up the curve. I’m sure someone is working on it. Seriously though, does everyone just dawdle around at 40kph in 4th all the time? I hate cars that have weak top end and all bottom end. They are “better” but much less fun.

Rag snipe

[@justinpeek4100]

100% it was the bolt clearance after removing the timing cover and then bolting the CAS back on. You need to space the CAS out to simulate the timing cover is still fitted. The CAS bolts just hit the cam gear bolts because the cover thickness has been removed. You will see metal swarf evidence.

[@jalava78]

CAS is auto-clearancing, just give it some time :)

Man, I remember watching the original build series all those years ago and instantly falling in love with this channel. You two have been an inspiration to me since the day I first watched you and watching these past few episodes have really reminded me how special this car is, as well as how special this channel is. There really isn't another car or another channel that makes me love cars quite like this.

I love watching Marty & Moog sweat when Scotty's tuning on the Dyno. Marty with the Levorg, especially 😅

I love your taste in cars, I love what you do to them and how you treat them. Somehow, watching your videos doesn't feel the same as others, there is special emotion and connection. You guys deserve all the good things that have happened to you and I hope you will never stop sharing with us. Thanks a lot.

I remember when the Datsun 240Z came to the U.S. in the early 70's. I wanted one then but was only a kid and didn't have any money. Wish I could have gotten one, it's still probably my favorite car ever. That is so nice!

[@STAG162]

Love watching Scotty giving Moog the tuner's lessons along the way, like dropping pointers about things, "do you know why this happened"... that is lesson-learning professionalism which makes the viewer think before giving the answer away. admittedly, you need to have a pretty deft knowledge of this stuff to pick up on the answers to the questions quickly, but Moog does an alright job.

[@aDaWaN]

Yep, I was puzzled at the comment: we only touched the cam timing. No you did not, you also touched the CAS!

[@fermillo65]

Scotty's gone a long way. He was so timid at the very beginning, and now look at him. He's such an awesome dude, i learn so much every time he's in

[@TheLabLimited]

Good chance the noise was caused by the rear timing belt cover, when the front cover was removed the rear is now relatively unsupported, possibly came forward just enough to touch the back of the after market inlet cam gear. A bit of a snoop around with a mirror and a torch MIGHT show witness marks on the cover to confirm. Would pay to check in there anyway in case there is a bolt backing out and touching the gear, if that is happening and it does come out - going to be a bad day in the 240z.

[@andyhill6398]

Absolutely agree, ive been there.

[@wayneroach6736]

Not gonna lie, I got a bit emotional when you were talking about the wheels. Then you said Marty was your best mate and his little face lit up 😭No car show could bring a tear to my eye like you guys do. Massive love from the UK

[@winstonUSMC]

That poor Cam Sensor! No spacer on the timing cover and the CAS eats itself.

[@winstonUSMC]

Self clearancing as it runs. That's why the noise gets less as you went.

[@mambastu]

Thats exactly what the noise is . The rubber seal on the front of the cam cover has spacers in it that spaces the CAS out. Done the same thing myself.

[@winstonUSMC]

@mambastu I would run a couple washers to space it out properly. I now have a Franklin Performance hall sensor paired with the PRP crank sensor.

[@mambastu]

@@winstonUSMC Yes, I've ditched the CAS myself now. Went Link and the CAS provided a pretty noisy RPM signal. Crank wheel and pickup much better

I recognized the noise immediately. Common mistake.

I can't press the like button any harder for this video! The original 240z build series was the first full build series I watched back when I was in uni. This just makes me so happy to see the car come to this point, can't wait to see the next driving video!

So glad the dyno disaster wasn't as bad as it could be. The 240 Z is too nice to have it blow up. Modern turbo tech has come so far now, it's so awesome that you can put on a smaller turbo and still make the same or more top end power as you did before, especially with how much more you are getting so much earlier. What a great build. I hope she brings you many years of refined driving pleasure. She's a helluva nice ride. Be proud of what you have made everyone, it was totally worth it.

with no cam cover on you need to space the cas from the cas bracket the same thickness as cover and cas gasket together, coulpe of flat washers job done, the sound is the exhaust cam shaft end float loading and unloading on the cas itself...

about that noise: I had a similar experience after a basic oil change. Started the car and my heart dropped as I heard "tack-tack-tack" proportional to rpm. Stopped, started again, same thing. Checked oil, all was good... Then I noticed I had a small speck of junk on my aux belt, might have been a small piece of paper towel or whatever. Cleaned it off. Started, no noise. So might have been the same thing here and when Scotty revved it a little it just flew off or got squished or whatever, never to come back again.
