Just go to NAPA , they have these rubber plugs that you can install instead of the bolt and then you turn the nut and it expands. Done. :cool: To remove it , use something like a metal clip remover and pry hard while impacting if off.

Whats the compression now? Might be the turbo too?

When I install my main seal I use a socket that fits after I insert it far enough by hand and lightly tap it untill its even all around. You might want to get another seal and do it over if your unsure.

Talon number 2 69k no abs, no rear wiper blade, manual windows, 6 bolt with 4 bolt rear end, so clean and smells new inside :) .

You can make your seats heated and cooled with a kit. Basically its about 8 mini fans you install in squares you cut out of your seat foam and the heating material is a sheet with holes in it. I always wanted to do it but its not ever hot enough for me to care.

You need to put thread sealer like permetex #2 on the 2 bolts that hold the hydraulic tensioner . You want to run it untill you see the leak and getting a real oil pressure gauge might b a good idea. Also the leak might b a pin hole on the plug for the balance shaft.

It looks like you got some oil coming from the t belt tensioner. You need to use a thread sealer on those bolts. The stuff around the water pump looks like it might be axle grease. Check if you have a hole or tear in your boot.

You can use either welder to make an exhaust. But be warned unless you have a lift and a good amount of experience you will get very irritated and have a lot of down time. If you just get a muffler that fits and take it to an exhaust shop, after the cost of the materials you would use yourself ...

amazing deal dude....you should get the maintenance done first and then do some bolt ons with tuning and see how you like the auto. I'm not big on it myself but at the end of the day even on a dd your less likely to rip on it all the time and it should last longer.

You can buy special sockets that are used to remove stripped bolts and nuts from advance or any auto parts store. Try to spray penetrating oil for a couple of days too. Here is an example Buy Irwin Expansion 5 Pc Set Pliers 394002 at Advance Auto Parts

First guess is clogged radiator.

Its possible that your old t stat was rated at a lower temperature and now you have a stock temp stat.

Are you sure your pushing it in right? You need to use a special tool that spins the piston as you push it in. Go to dsmtuners classifieds and post a want to buy (WTB) ad and I'm sure someone will have it for you.

Check your battery connections and all the grounds.

No lol, I had those on a maxima in the past. They are nice looking and for $50 bucks you stole them!

nice grand am gt plastic cover chromes!

Well if you have no money.... for now what you need to do is open the hood, but know that once you do you might not be able do get it to fully latch until you fix it. Next you would put a piece of wood on top of the radiator support where the hood latches and hammer the hood in the middle with a...

The parking brake cable is going to be the thickest one going inside. You want to jack it up and see if you can take off the rotor or at least release the parking brake through the hole in the back. It should be a rubber oval plug. Cutting your old cable might help too if its the cable thats...

The transmission case is aluminum so I don't see the point in painting it even for NY.

You're belt could be too loose or too tight. You want to open your hood and feel how tight or loose you're belts are. Also check if they are cracked or dry and if so replace them.

You can do this trick when pulling the head if you know that your timing was set right. Just use the tool to compress the tensioner at TDC and zip tie the belt to cams and then unbolt the cam sprockets and bungie to the side.

here is mine

If you're talking about the hose you're holding and the one next to it, those are a/c lines to the compressor.

Wow great success on those responses, lol. Once you remove whatever is securing the pulley to the pump you will probably need a puller to get it off. Get a loaner tool from advance or autozone if you don't have one.

You should look into just rebuilding the one in your car. It is very simple and fast. Just order a kit from the dealer. The thing that wears out is a piece of rubber and you'll have to clean out the walls.

If your broke and just want to know it is sealed, then turn your head upside down and fill the valve area with kerosene and leave it overnight to see if it leaks through.

You should work on eliminating things. After checking all your fuses and relays, take out the starter and try to power it up with a boost or take it to a store to get checked out.

Forget about your balance shaft belt and tensioner, as it is a waste of time and money. If you don't have a balance shaft elimination, now might be the time to do it. Many vendors sell the kit with the pieces. Might want to look into the oil pump seals or just get a new oil pump all together.
