thank you. I actually just remembered there isn't a ground on the valve cover. I over looked it. I'll check it when I get back to the shop. and I was gonna wait until the new valves got wore in a bit before I re tightened the valves. set all to .007?

unless the valve cover ground is the one that actually goes on the back of the block? I got that one. I don't remember one going to the valve cover bolts

the 3rd and 4th injector seemed to be making more noise than the first two. it almost sounds like a vacuum leak but ive replaced all the lines.
im trying to see if ill be able to get it where it doesnt throw any codes before i spend $1000 on an ecu and its still throwing codes because of something else. any advice is appreciated.
and yes, i know, a vafc isnt what i should have. its zeroed out right now anyway, its just monitoring, and on a close-loop out of vtec the ecu should collaborate with the O2 sensor and optimize a/f

The vafc is a low cost solution designed for when none others exist - even apexi themselves knowing this offers the power fc. To build a stroker motor with aftermarket injectors and then drive it around on the factory ecu when 3 other proper solutions exists deserves my sticks and stones - they hurt a lot less than the repair bill. Which all his "friends" that hes taking lessons from arent going to pay btw.
