I wanna make sure I got the right parts, the GTE stuff is for GE also in this case right? Cant wait:evil2: BTW, the head on the connecting rod bolts, what the hell do I use to tighten them?

If a part was made for our MKIII that included being functioned by a button, if you had to install that button somewhere on your dash yourself, would you buy it, or would you simply rather or NEED it to be almost fully plug and play? Thanks guys PS, everything is prewired.

On my GE, its on the intake side of the block, mounted, with a connector running to the harness. Its in front of the starter and its round. Also has a plug for a vac line. Reason I ask bc the 2 wires for the harness were disconnected, looks to always have been bc someone cant solder (previous...

OK Now Im just trying to get all the carbon off the underside of the engine (crankshaft and around it) and off the sides and other places. What are some good strong chemicals I can use that will basically eat it away and what methods do I use? Something safe that I can douse the crank with...

Alot of people I've seen freak out when certain issues with out engines arise. For instance, I explained my rod knock, explained all of why and how it happened. Well lots of people were extremely against my simple "bandaid" rebuilding. Replace the BROKEN parts and make her purr. Im replacing...

Hey guys, before when I though my problem was the head, I took it off and took out the entire exhaust side of the valves using a socket with a magnet trick. How do I get them back in? The snap on tool I found is $50, what are other options? Also once they are back in, this is jsut springs...

Crankshaft, are they the same?

Not assemblers, Im doing that, but I bought it NEW from northern tools, the $200 one with leveler. It was $149. Anyways, the 2 back strut support bars, are SHORT! They dont line up and its pretty much impossible unless THEY are wrong. Now I have to drill holes into my new toy :( On top of...

I took the head off before, does it have to be used to take it out or can I hook up my hoist somewhere else? Can I reconnect ALL of hte vaccumm hoses around the intake side before i put it back in the car? Ill add mroe questions in here as they come./

If anyone remembers my depression post, Im pulling out of it harder than a fully built 2jz off the line with a 250 shot of nitrous. Me and my fiance worked out why we were at eachothers throats lately, its been good. Today at work my co worker (whos got major seniority) said he wants to...

So how did anyone beat depression before it beat them? The kind that seeps through the cracks in every inch of your life, including your relationship. I used to scream my heart out, sleep the night away and wait for it to pass, this time is hasnt gone away and Im not happy nearly anywhere...

Are the rods, bearings and all of that the same? And is the oil pump the same? Both stock.

Well I just recalled today when I bought my car, my friend who sold it to me still had the original receipt window sticker thingy, hes the second owner. The previous owners purchased the car a month after the changeover (thus making it 86.5) and got the full sports package minus SuperMonitor...

Im about to be in that area of the motor, I wanna replace my oil pump. Is getting a used one from someone on here a safe idea or is that just dumb? I CAN get a new one but for $200 its steep. Are there parts I can replace to make mine like new? Im not too savvy about this part of the car...
