he was up over 24 hrs the day before and only had 4 hrs sleep before going to work so now the trans takes a dump. better here than at some gas station half way to texas. i dont really know how well my swapped engine will turn out gettin there either. Do need a little luck.

simplest ting to check before you pull the engine is to make sure the harmonic balancer bolt is tight. if it backs out a litttle the pulley will wobble at lower rpms especially and it will sound like a low frequency thump. get under the car and crank it down to 195 FTlbs. if it has been loose...

I had my pistons and chambers coated at swain tech. www.swaintech.com They are higher rates but back a few years when i did it the prices were a little lower. reallly good work. Gold coat on the crowns, moly coat on the side and coated chambers and exhaust ports. exhaust valves are...

did our cars original engine have a number on it that matched our vin number?

not sure what area it is stuck on but would moving the suspension to full up and full lowered with a jack make the axle slide in and out of the hub thus getting it un stuck. of course this means the drive end is still connected to the diff and knuckle to the car. if you dont have a nut the...

may have different colors but they are usable in any year. the yellowish colored ones are probably wires from the G1 and G2 pickups. Assuming noone has not rewired this one some way

Your a lucky man. Glad to see you shaved before going to the hospital.

a1 camber arms are adjustable on the vehicle. what about front upper pillow ball mounts that are adjustable. i dont know of anyone who makes those. that way when the car is lowered you could fix the problem of how the lower ball joint angle is out of spec. the angle on it wont line up with...

i had the holes in the lower arms welded over and new holes drilled so the arm would be shorter. i then shaved some of the excess metal off the end past the new hole so it would not rub the wheel knuckle. i have the a1 camber arms and they are certainly stronger than the crush bent stockers...

i bought this jdm 7M engine and noticed some large plugs on the drivers side of the engine. What are they for? Is this some plugs for holes to remove the sand from casting? They are above the freeze plugs and are threaded and have a large hex wrench hole for removal/insertion. I dont have...

i think it does but i have not been able to find where it is. I would also like to filter down some on the map sensor too. Other sensors have specific sensitivity controls. Have not found them for FP sensor (installed in ADR 11 in aem) nor for the map sensor.

it can jump around from raw voltage of 1v valley to 2.6v peak on the log. Thats about 13 psi to 52 psi. up and down. this at a steady cruize of 3500 rpm and -5.5 psi. o2 readings are good. i dont know why it would oscilate so wildly.

where does a FP sensor need to be installed to get stable and accurate readings. I am using a AEM ecu and currently have the pressure sensor installed just after the stock junction under the intake manifold. From here the fuel line continues to the rail. then the fuel line comes out of the...

the cps wil tell the ecu when no 1 is at tdc "Compression" and tdc on "Exhaust" stroke. that looks like the exhaust stroke. The crank will turn twice to get to a single compression stroke. the cam gear marks will rotate only one revolution from compression stroke to compression stroke. so if...

dont forget to buy new light gaskets to seal them up. dont overtighten the nuts on the lights are it may crack the lense. the right rear light does not seam to curve around to meet the metal part of the fender. Mine and others have a little gap there. if you tighten it up too tight it may...

I hope he doesnt ruin his interior by spilling some Maddog 20/20 on it. I bet he converted the cup holders into moon pie holders. I wonder how much that car weighs now? 4100 or more?

also be careful what the resistors pulls. i tried to similate this heater with some radio shack resistors and must not have guessed correctly. about a year later the heater drivers or whatever they are called burned up in the ecu so the code 21 never went away even with a good oem O2 sensor...

if the exhaust manifold bolts are not tight that is a good way to warp the head and exhaust manifold. heat is being applied to each piece in ways it should not be and at various points ie each loose stud. the exhaust maniflold can warp and even when helicoiled the manifold may have different...

when spinning the cps to fake timing like this would the injectors still fire? Would it be a good idea to pull the plug on the fuel pump or its fuse? If you have an extra good CPS you would not have to pull out your installed cps. Just put the engine at TDC and view how the installed cps is...

So this is the same principle that flourescent lights work with.
