    Timing

    Is there a reason you wouldn't run less than 91 in a fuel injected vehicle? And some of us are pretty strapped for cash and don't spend moeny on higher octane when its not needed.

    Timing

    Yeah, I just filled up with low octane, but I might fill up with the high octane next time (until I can get to my timing light).

    Timing

    Well then I might back my timing down to 10 degrees because I don't have the money to be putting in 93 octane, lol.

    I'm running just regular gas right now and it seems to be running alright. Thanks for the replies.

    Timing

    That's what I set mine at, seems to be running good. Just wondering what others are running.

    Timing

    What timing do people run? The TSRM Manual says the spec is 10 degrees before TDC. Is this what you run or do you advance it more or less? Thanks.

    Head Leaking Problem

    Thanks, I'll look into that. And I would hope it wouldn't crack the head, wouldn't be very productive... Also, what does everyone think about a blowtorch to heat up the plugs to help break the seal? Any ideas?

    Thanks for the solution, but if anyone has ways to get them out, I would rather do that then make more problems for myself later.

    Head Leaking Problem

    Ok, so to continue with this problem.... I cannot get two of the plugs out, one came out, but the other two wont budge... I have been going at it with PB blaster and a breaker bar with a jack handle on the end. After that didn't work and threatened to strip the hex holes in the plugs, I...

I guess I will check both the 3 plugs that have coolant under them and that...

    ARP Head Studs

    I just received my ARP head studs and am about to put them in. I was wondering if anyone else has done this upgrade for a 7M-GE. But my main question is the torque spec. My book says 59 lb-ft and the ARP instructions say 90 lb-ft. So which do I use, or what have other people done when...

    RX-7 Battery Problem

    Hey all, I have a buddy with a 1990 RX-7 with a battery issue. He is on his 3rd battery in like 2 months, the last one he put in last week, didn't drive the car, and today the battery has half a volt of charge in it. Any ideas on what is happening? Every battery he puts in it just dies. Thanks
