Only when your banging gears, in case your rev match is a little off. You just delay your clutch disengage a tad. You realize how a effective it is when you drive a car with a trans that already has fried syncros.

Try to get them talking about their car, especially if they did the mods themselves. Usually they get proud of their work they will start telling you about everything they did. Be enthusiastic of their tales and proceed to ask stupid questions to gauge wether or not they knew what they were doing.

I can't say I've ever driven non syncroed transmission car but unfortunately a new breed of ignorance is resultant of modern transmissions. I love listening to people tell me they dont need to rev match or double clutch when driving hard because they have syncros in their trans. Then they...

For the record running hot is not gonna throw a CEL and if your temp gauge isnt accurate or operating properly, you have no way of knowing if your engine is overheating until its too late and you have no basis for saying it definitely wasnt overheating. I did tell you to check the connection on...

Reading it again, yeah I may have missunderstood him. Either way now he knows. Sorry to call you out like that then.

Incorrect. Usually use motor oil but this does work. The oil helps bad rings form a seal, reducing blowby and raising compression. Do a comp test on all cylinders. This should be with all of the plugs out and throttle wide open. To check your timing slide a long wooden dowel into...

Also make sure you didnt just run out of oil. I have auto fill up but sometimes the guy forgets to come.

You can rent a balljoint press at Autozone and then blow the center out. From there take the blade off the hacksaw, stick it through the middle of the outer sleve, re assemble the saw and cut it in 2 or 3 places. Then you can smash the pieces out with a chisel/punch and a hammer. Its a major...

Here is the link to the removal guide. Give it a once over and I guarantee you will feel better about the job. :) http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?423-7M-GTE-Engine-removal-in-49-easy-steps

I know exactly how you feel, I felt the same way before I pulled my first engine. It was a honda accord, and I blew the engine. I couldnt afford to pay to have it done, but need it to drive. I did it completely blind with nothing more than a haynes repair manual (useless). I wasted time...

Not gonna be a sticky thermostat, Id check your heater control valve before I started digging for a heater core.

Nice to meet you too. What did you say your name was?

Do you have any basis for saying this or are you just throwing it out there based on your opinion alone? At the very least this would be a fair amount of condensation in the crankcase, at the very least probably a clogged PCV system. Sorry but these two statements do not belong in the same...

Fuckin a. Sorry to hear this.

As hvyman mentioned be sure to have the flywheel machined. It will make a big difference in the life of your new clutch, and potentially its grabbing power.

Dont drive it until you get it figured out and get yourself a real temp gauge. This forum doesnt need another BHG thread. The 7M is a great motor and gets a bad rap because its tempermental. Run it hot, and you may find yourself in the FS section looking for a new head. Usually those gauges...

If the whole thing started because the black guy made a comment that the white guy misunderstood, then it was completely the black guys fault. If the white guy randomly asked the black guy to shine his shoes for no reason then i feel like they both created the issue. It would be much easier to...

Engine In yet?

I'm assuming your planning on upping the boost if you havent already. Why not look into turbo upgrades and swap something else in before the twins self destruct. If your on a budget, you can buy/make an adapter and run a CT26 on the factory manifold. Driftmotion sold this adapter, wether or...

I'm sitting here trying to figure out WTF I just watched... Then it dawned on me. Its you lol.
