I found this video posted by /DRIVE on YouTube and knew I had to share. I died when he said one of the side effects was unsafe manifold pressure.

Tearing down the engine. I bought a set of Manley standard rings thinking they would be ok. Turns out standard Manley rings DO NOT work on OEM pistons, only Manley pistons, lucky me. Anyways, I am looking around for a set of oem ones and the ones I see only have 4 rings. The ones I took out of...
I just reringed my pistons and gapped them correctly. The 2 oil rail scrapers seemed like they would never compress close to the piston. All of the bags that had the ring sets in them say 3.346 so I know I ordered the right ones anyways. I put the first one and it went in tight and it is really...
I need to know how the thrust washers go in (3-piece) and any other installation tips for them. They fell out while I was turning the crank before I could get a chance to look at them. I have looked through this http://www.scribd.com/doc/17887620/9799ECB and through my hanes manual and through a...
Ok so I started tearing into this motor because of low compression on 2 cylinders that got better with oil (rings). Time for my first major engine stuff. I'm doing timing belt, headgasket, rings and rod bearings. That was the plan anyways. Got the oil pan dropped and the pistons out. The rod...

Ok I need some photoshop help. I am thinking about painting my rims gloss black, spokes and lip. Lugs will stay chrome. Here is the pic. And im gonna paint the fender soon, could you just fix the clearcoat too?Thanks in advance!
Hi allMy problem: Picked up some drilled/slotted rotors for the GSX and got them on. The drivers side caliper bracket, the part that bolts onto the back(knuckle?), it is rubbing the new rotor. We put everything on the same way it came off. Its pretty straight forward. We put washers in between...
I have a leak of coolant that is not terrible but still enough to get me on here. For the past few weeks there has been a trail of coolant from under my car in the morning, and the weird part it only happens on Sunday mornings, after sitting overnight. Anyways, the firewall inside of the engine...
97 gsx m/t. stock clutch as far as I know, got the car about a ago. Started driving tonight, shifted 1 to 2 no problem. Went to shift to third and nothing... I could move the shifter through the gears while moving and clutch pedal out. I am pretty sure the throw out bearing was going bad...
I am having an issue where if I throw it in reverse and start moving backwards about a second later, while letting the clutch out slowly, it drops the clutch all the way even though my foot is still slightly pushing down on the pedal. It does it in first too but I can keeps the revs up and let...
Im in Morgantown, WV and I need a new head gasket. I would love to do it myself but do not have the space. Anyone know of somewhere(someone) good in the area that wont charge an arm and a leg? Or where I could do it myself?? I contacted TPG tuning in Blairsville, PA but they are 1.5 hours away.

Ok so I got this car a few days ago, 97 GSX M/T. This afternoon after work, I started to hear a ticking from the engine. I am going to assume lifter tick, I have watched other lifter tick videos and sounds the same (will clean w/ VFAQ see if that works). After work and after the tick started I...
Just bought a 97 GSX M/T and need to know where the transmission mounts are located. The guy I bought it off of said the front transmission mount was bad. What I feel when shifting quickly feels like the engine is moving back and forth and it doesn't engage until the movement settles down(~0.5...
