    whats the best way to remove chrome anodizing on a intake pipe?

    use lye (red devil or similar) and put your piece in it, it'll strip off a thin layer of aluminum and the color with it leaving you a matte finish you can re-anodize. i'd polish it up after stripping cause i like the shiny. EDIT: like adam said, if it's chrome it's a different story

    code 51, rebuild won't start

    would a code 51 cause it to not fire? i figured it'd just be a rough idle. as for timing, i've set the crank pulley at 0 and mounted the dist. in the center position, but haven't gotten any farther than that. i've got a timing light but didn't think i could use that til the engine was running...

    diff egr years = problem?

    got a used egr off of a member on here and everything looks about the same (different sticker color on the egr, blue instead of pink/purple and it's got a different number) but when i get to the top piece with the vac lines (bolts to the manifold and clips into the bracket) mine has three lines...
