my speedo has been out for nearly a year. What originally happened was after my swap (spun bearings, just put in another n/a motor) I took a trip to Tail of the Dragon, on the way up there the heat cycles caused the header to two-pipe nuts to come loose. This exposed my engine bay to the...

Appreciate all the help! What is the correct Amperage for the fuse? I got some fusable wire from my local napa, but I'd much rather just use a fuse.

I did not, It was dark out and I am not too sure about how to look at that. Does the wire burn up or does it pop off the connection point or what? Thanks for the info on the HEAD relay. Appreciate it!

I just replaced my clutch and I finally got the tranny back in the other night. I went to crank it and it fired up fine then died off. Well it was late so I decided to come back tomorrow. Turns out my intake had popped off when I propped the block up with a piece of wood to make it lean back...

5w-30 I'm pretty sure. FIltration issue I think.

Good to hear, thanks guys! :) I assumed it was, but my friends 240 went to like 120psi and I was like... whoa...

No vibration on the highway. I guess I'll get it looked at this weekend. What's a carrier bearing run money wise? Easy job? I've had the d/s down in my engine swap, it was pretty easy to get out of there.

what's normal? I see 40 at cold startup (I'm using 0w-40), 10-20 at warm, 40 at speed (3,000 + rpms), 4k-6k still see 40 the only time I see above 40 is when I drive on the highway for 20mins or more (then it will creep to 60). It was like this on my previous motor too. Normal?

when I engine brake or drive the car in reverse I get a scrapping noise that sounds like it's coming directly from under the middle console. My guess is on play in the drive shaft or some drive shaft component. Can anyone help me pinpoint it?

So I am very scared. I had a motor with rod knock, I replaced with with one pulled from another car with 78,000 miles on it. I've thrashed (I drive hard) on it for probably 20,000 or so now and I keep a very close watch on my oil levels (it's probably been about 3/4th up from the bottom of the...

I was worried that I had BHG again, so I did a little research and found what is contained below here. With my BHG before I experienced boiling coolant in the reservoir and temp spikes. Right now I am experiencing a rise and fall of coolant level in the reservoir without temperature spikes...

it's been on and off (more on than off tho). Anyways my friends say it sounds like it's comming from the driveshaft? Any chance on ujoints or loose driveline causing this sound? EDIT: I'll br brief my roommate is trying to sleep. I haven't been able to grease the brake shims yet, which I...

It seems to have stopped for the moment? which is weird, braking seems fine. There was an extreme drop in temp today (20 degrees or so)

Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot this weekend. It seems to be getting worse. Can any damage come from this? I just took lunch from work and it kept on the whole 15min drive to and from (30min total) where I went to eat.

Special for the car or in general? Pick it up at the local parts store? Thanks for the help.

No I did not. Is that the bolt-throughs that hold the caliper in place?

So when my car is cold I have this rather annoying squeak comming from the front passenger side (best I can tell). It's dependent on the speed of the car and not rpms and when you come to a stop the noise will stop. So I know that it is not a belt. It does not sound like a wheel bearing...

So I torqued them down over the weekend. I went to 76ftlbs which was like barely 1/5th of a turn for most of the bolts. I also finally got that stupid hose from tstat to the metal lines that run under the exhaust manifold to stop leaking. However my car still doesn't pull nearly as strong as...

Thanks guys, I get off in an hour! :)

What's the highest I should go?
