Just to throw in my 2 cents...I have a ceramic coated pace setter mani on my car with a 20g and it has'nt gave me any issues(knock on wood). It's been on my car now for about 5 years now.
Engine was only honed, no boring was done.Stock pistons.Rings were prepped by being soaked in 10/30 oil over night and applied to rings after groves were cleaned out.Rings installed with gaps on opposite sides. Rings had no markings to determine up or down.HG was good, used...
.... have you had the head checked out to make sure there's no bent valves or sticking valves?...pHead haven't been check professionally but I had pulled the valves and cleaned and checked them, head should be good, doesn't have any visible issues.
-If I keep trying to start it will that help seat the rings?-No popping or sputtering; engine just turn over and over. I thought I was not getting spark until I pull the plugs an verified.-Done the Timing belt; prior to putting the head on I put the number piston at TDC the install the head...
91GSX won't start (see question at bottom):-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------History(short version)-
Bought GSX for 500 with tranny but no motor.Bought motor, cleaned it up and installed it...
Found the issue, after about 6 months dealing with this and spending days trying to figure it out, and spending money I don't have...this issue was one little wire coming off my q45 throttle body.One little wire wasn't connected; one I twisted it to it's partner my car started right up...
I appreciate the assistance.Fuel tank is about half fullBattery terminal are clean and tightFuel pump is turning on (can hear it wine)Ignition components should be dry, it hot as heck in Texas and my car been sitting in the elements for about 6 months now. I'll take another look at it...
Done. Verified all triangular connections are plugged into their correct mate; grounds are solid; all other plugs are plugged in correct; sensors are plugged it. Just installed new CAS and CPS, those are good.
Completed modifications and now car won't start. By not starting I mean, engine turns over but won't fire. I'm not getting spark.Car ran fine prior to modifications.Upgrades/modifications done after last successful start:
Balance shafts removal,
port and polish Head,
BC 272 cams,
bc valve...
Only "wise men" can do it, so I guess you just got to PM them the name of the person and the thread and they'll do the rest. That's what I did, hope it works.
Ok, I swapped everything around. Next issue I have is that the wires seem to short to reach the connections.
Should I just cut the wires and make them longer?
Trying to get rid of some extra parts that came with this GSX is bought.Does anyone know what turbo this o2 housing fits? I search through the 20 pages of o2 related threats and didn't find anything.Thanks!
That helps! Thanks!You know I think it might have been now that I think about it. I double check that.Thanks, don't think I have a connector for it. If it's not plugged in the only bad thing is that my reverse light won't come on when backing up right?In the last picture it to the...
Ok, I must of missed understood what he was asking; I was thinking he meant that the auto tension while off the vehicle stays compressed when the pin is pulled. The loose belt isn't the issue, I took the picture just to show the timing marks.Now after reading that vfaq link you posted, it...
Bought a 91 GSX with no motor, found a motor and dropped in it. Now I don't know where the connection mate up too. Seems like I got to many females and not enough male connectors. Hanes and Chilton didn't help much, have a hard time reading the schematics.Any assistance any one could give...
Tried to wiggle the rocker arms and 2 on the intake and 2 on the exhaust side move alittle, but seems like the only reason the move is because the cam lobes aren't pushing on them. Is this correct or are the valves bent?
Tried that and still nothing...afraid I'm going to have to pull the head off to confirm that I didn't bend any valves. But then again my other motor(6bolt) is doing to the same thing.
Check: No scorns or damage cap, person I bought it from says there the original caps, no metal pieces between the cams, valve spring or cam gears.Cam are brand new so they shouldn't be bent at all.When I first installed the cams on the head+block they turned fine; I forgot to put on the...
Took the valve cover off- springs are clean and free from any foreign objects.I had the caps lubed and torqued to 15lbs.With the caps torqued down and TB off the crank turns now with no issue, it just wont turn with the belt on. (cams wont move)
No, I didn't. I'll check that out, hope I don't have to remove the head.Thanks!Update...I bleed the lifters and still nothing. Now with the TB off and caps torque down engine turns but cams won't. If I didn't mention before Cam Caps are the one that came with the head and are in the...
Head has been ported and polish, and I put in new springs and retainers. Head visual looks good and I'm using a Cometic gasket with ARP studs.Crank just comes to a solid stop like it's hitting something.I removed the caps to take the pressure off and torqued them back down to 15lbs and...
Need some help...don't want to have to take my car to a shop and pay a large bill.Just installed a newer head, cams and cam gears. Tried to turn the engine over manual at the crank and the engine only turns to a certain point and stops.Note-Caps are original and in correct position...
Yeah, I was very tempted at the offer, I even emailed him asking for him/her to send a copy of their driver's license and business address. They pretty much said I was crazy for asking for it. Also they won't even do Escrow.I also smell SCAM on this one.
Thanks for your replies,I have one of the few 95 DSM that didn't come with an Eprom ECU,
I bought an ECU of Ebay that said it was a 93 and it would work with
96-99.I figured all 2G ECUs should work together so...I bought it.I guesse I just got to sell this one and by a 95 Eprom...
