    Possible BHG

    Im almost done taking it off now. I just finished the intake manifold and the upper bolts were only finger tight. Its weird because I would run 13psi and never hit fuel cut unless it was cold out. I guess those gaskets dont need much to stay sealed then.

    Tanabe Super Hyper Medallion

    My car has the super medalion racing and it sounds great. It is not too loud without the silencer but with it in its almost like a whisper ( im used to driving a nova with turn downs under the back seat).

    Throw out bearing hub assembly?

    the top of the cone faces the hub and the wider part touches the flat washer. I dont know if you got the parts already but if you try to put it together the other way It wont look right.

    Throw out bearing hub assembly?

    Ok, first you put the throw out bearing through the press. plate then you put then you put the plate washer and wave washer on top ( this faces the transmission) then a snap ring holds it together. Next lay the hub facing up and put the cone shaped washer then the flat washer on that. Then place...

    Throw out bearing assembly problem(pics)

    the exact samething happened to me. I just bought everything brand new that was in the blow up I had so I wouldnt have to pull it down again. I think it was like 100 bucks for all the washers, throughout, bearing and hub.

When I left I burned out and was going 65 in a 35 street while itwas raining (no one else was on that road). I see a car come up real quick but I couldnt see what it was because my...

    illegal mods

    FMIC and pipes are legal on stock turbo motors. You can have an intake manifold as long as it has all the smog equipment. The funny thing is you can put an airfilter directly on the AFM but if you put a pipe between them its illegal.

    Quote i got from machinist

    Any time you go from a bolt to a stud on the mains you need it to be checked. If he checked it your lucky. You usually need to align bore it to make everything straight again. I take it your reusing your old pistons. As long as he checked the cyls. for out of round it will be fine. Otherwise you...

    6M crank

    If the casting part is blue form the heat I would not trust it. Actually its an old hot rod trick to turn your crank to the limit. It reduces bearing speed to you can rev it higher without spinning a bearing. It also frees up some horsepower due to the slower speed and less friction.

    bump steer

    Check to see if anything in your rear is bent. If something is it could cause that.

    No start, engine cranks, got spark and fuel LONG!

    A car needs 5 things to fire: Air, spark, fuel, and niod (injectors turning on) Since you have a messed up AFM i would find someone you could borow it from. You know you have spark so I would chech your fuel pressure and noid. Harbor freight sells a noid kit for about $10. Also check if your...

    My clutch quite on me

    I was about to take off from work when I went to put it in gear and the peddle went straight to the floor. I left it in the parking lot overnight and got a ride home. I took the inspection cover off and the fork was hitting the pressure plate which I thought was bad. So I pushed it into the shop...
