      danl replied to the thread "Driven" oil?.
      I don’t use it, but it is good oil. Most formulas have a lot of zinc which can be important for some applications.I use Valvoline VR1 because it is convenient but would move over to driven if it were easier to find in the weight my engine...

      No, no you absolutely cannot use that rod.

      danl replied to the thread 1G 1990 ECU pin 15 5volts?.
      You got it.The point of the buffer circuit is to make the wideband output stronger so it can better control the voltage seen at ECU pin 15. The pin is not floating because it is being pulled up to 5 volts DC by the 10,000 ohm internal resistor...

      Loved the latest video. DSM crew showing up in force showing how to put together a car correctly.Does anyone know what kind of digital torque wrench is being used on the bottom end install. Looks like a kobolt 3/8” model? I’m in the market to...

      What is the ASD relay?First thing is to determine if you are losing spark or fuel when this happens.

      You need a power transistor to run the coils. If you go to a COP that has the power transistor/ignitor built in then you could direct fire from the ecu if the Link ECU has the power to run said COP.You don't technically need to use the...

      I was trying to do the same thing but in a 1g. The 1g is not well supported but the 2g seems to be still. Call crutchfield and they can likely sort you out.

      In the early 2000’s I spent as much as the car on a transmission from shep and it was worth it.

      In communities like this, it becomes an issue of whether or not the lack of decorum and the abrasiveness is pushing people away or deterring them from participating and contributing in a meaningful way.Some people have this idea that the tough...

      As you said in the video, I have also had no issue with the blue gates belts, but apparently I set tension correctly.

      Yes, beyond. If you can't slide that grenade pin in and out it isn't "technically" correct.

      How do people over tension these? I always set them to .150-.180 tensioner piston extension. Do people tighten them so much that the tensioner is bottomed out?

      danl replied to the thread 2G MLS vs Composite Head Gasket.
      I use composite head gaskets on stock piston/rod combos. The headgasket serves as a fuse.For piston/rod motors, mls and some experience tuning. Another reason to run mls is to lower the compression or get the cylinder head height correct.

      I had an auto awd, but don’t recall haw hard it was to remove axles. Is there any way to get a hose clamp around the cv cup so that you have something to pry against?

      Im trying to find a 1G manual rack now so I can get it remade with Quaife to fit PS racks, this will help alot with real manual racks for the DSM that bolt up easily and have mostly ALL oem parts fitment wise. plus the PS housings are wayyy...

      danl reacted to DrewmHolland's post in the thread 1G How do I fix a Rod knock? with Like Like.
      100% Rod Knock, it's fixable but you better hope that your crank is in spec and the cam bearings aren't trashed. also if the bearing is spun you'll need a new set of rods

      danl replied to the thread 1G How do I fix a Rod knock?.
      Even worse if bearing material starts pumping metal through the engine. It ruins anything that oil touches. Crank, oil pump, cams, cylinder head, lifters, turbo. It’s all likely junk if it’s been ran like that for very long. Even the valve cover...

      danl replied to the thread 1G How do I fix a Rod knock?.
      Step one is the easiest. Don’t run the engine again until you rebuild it. You risk doing an insane amount more damage.
