Have fun with that esi awd build. Goin to take alot of time.

I'm in the same situation. Let me know if it works out ###

I like FIC injectors.

If u had a better picture it would be easier to tell. Looks kike a coolant temp sensor though.

Like "noV8undrDIShood" said take it to a welding shop and have them put the inlet and outlet on the ends of the tanks. When u get it back make sure you test it for leaks.

U might as well pull the head. If its the rings u have to do it any ways. Also if it is the valves u also have to pull the head. Have you checked the timing?

I would use it for parts. lol

I would say it is the lifters.

The auto trans cars came with 390 cc injectors. The m/t's came with 450 cc injectors.

If your stock one doesnt work. Try looing on Ebay.

i had the same hole with the same oil leak. i just used rtv. it never leaked again

to check to see if your car is 6 or 7 bolt just look at the side of the oil pan behind the crank pully. if it is flat it is 6 bolt and if it kind of sticks out it is a 7 bolt.

i would go with a Sachs oem clutch.

most definitly your valve stem seals. had the same problem. changed them and no more smoke.

do u still have heat when the gauge goes down to cold? could just be a faulty gauge

Looks like its comin along good man

i would check your cam angle sensor. make sure the bolt on it hasn't come lose
