Re: 533 breaking up @2000rpm (archive)

My 86 5351 had problems in the 2000 rom range. Used to be in bad gas from the local "el Cheapo" gas station. A can of "dry gas" or fule injector cleaner used to clean it up, but after a few years , even that treatment failed. Bad flush of fuel injectors didn't help much either. Eventually I had the boys at Acceleration, Inc perform top end surgery and replaced the two-piece camshaft and some valves and the associated springs, etc.
Now my heavy 5351 "runs like a scalded ape!" in all five gears. Now if I could just do something about the rust... Oh, cost? my new top end cost around $1100. Good luck!

nobody,s fixed my car yet. thanks for the responses
but nothing so far i am paying attention,and searched
the archives, found some similar proplems but no positive
answers. had to get back on top of the board to refresh
some interest.here it is again,still, in general the motor
runs great.everything's new if it was questioned as trouble.
at 2000rpm it breaks up and drops rpm,also at about 2600rpm
the only time it dosn't is in park or neutral and you stomp
the pedal to the metal. instant redline,smooth,sweet.
i am starting to think its the car's brain and not mine
i have done the typical tests and recomendations. new clue
today i noticed the air temp on OBC is 122degs.??? is this the same info. brain is getting.how to fix?
the problem is so consistent
@2000rpm it must have been experenced before and solved.
by the way my new call letters (bsandy) reflect my motorcycle flavor(BSA)and my business (BARNSTORM)but not
my way of doing business. but right now some bs mixed
in with some good info.would be acceptable thanks andy
