Thanks,didn't even think about weight(duh) Can any one chime in with an approximate weight for the stock rods. Does the oil pump shaft have to be machined with the eagles like it does with the pauters?

Checked my TSRM,I was wrong,the check is for all of the ball joints.Example is for upper front:"Using a torque gauge,turn the nut continuously one turn per 2-4 seconds and take the torque reading on the fifth turn." 10-35 kg-cm (8.7-30.0 in-lb,1.0-3.4 Nm) Not really much in the manual about...

Wouldn't consider it a total waste of money,just depends on what you are looking to get out of it.If your wanting even 300 hp,then yeah,just forget about it,your wasting your money. I personally wouldn't hesitate to put $2500 into a car that I like,turbo or not to fully rebuild the motor.My na...

It took a long time to find rust free pre-89 trim for me.

I meant in comparison to a moderate na,and on the idea of starting with an na chassis and going gte.I really don't see any reason an na can't survive on a stock rebuild bottom end,(knowing they will never see the kind of power that the turbo cars push on a stock bottom end,without issues)saving...

Me too,'til then I prefer the "3-D" look of the pre-89.

Shouldn't have to cut anything,bolts to shoulder belt mount and IIRC one of the lap belt holes.

Like damn near all body mods are,stuff like that boils down to individualization more so than functionality.

It's a different "kind" of power,completely different power band.I still believe a properly built,reliable 400+rwhp turbo motor is still gonna cost you out your ass,even more so if the car was originally na and you upgrade the drivetrain to suit (r-154 and maybe rear end.)

Aren't they supposed to have a certain amount of drag when turning them with a inch-lbs torque wrench?I may be thinking about the upper ball joints.

They have a ton of sentimental value,collector value not so much.

The car wont rev over 7200(factory rev limit)without a standalone correct? What boost levels would be equal to ~11-1 compression? I think I'll probably go with shot peened factory ones.

Two things.First one is in my thread on 6M/7M cranks,the general consensus was that knife edging was a bad idea,taking weight off towards the outside of the counterweights tends to throw off the balance a lot easier. Second one is a question.The 7M stock rods are known good to pretty high...

I said I don't invest too much emotion.Didn't mean I don't care or love, just no unconditional love for anything other than my kid.

Mmmm,bologna in a tube,yum yum.

From the sound of it they are due for replacement.

Not really,I am a very genuine and loving guy,and I love my girlfriend,but like I said,if shit goes pear shaped I'm out,not gonna fight about it,not gonna conform to what you think I should be,not gonna chase anybody around,not gonna dwell on the past,future,or what it could have been,I'll just...

The only exception to this would be my daughter.And by any living thing I was referring to family and pets and the like, as well as girlfriends. Personally,my outlook is that if you feel the need to "work it out" then at least one ,if not both parties involved are unhappy in some way,normally...

I just don't invest too much emotion into any living thing.I love my girl and all,just wouldn't hesitate to up and leave,always been like that.

I was asking about stick or auto just cause the fact that a stick,when panic braking sends quite a shock through the drive train. Seems weird that there is no compression on any cylinder,are you sure the tester is alright?Maybe the pressure release on the tester is stuck/open. Just a...
