Just logged into this site after an 8 year hiatus. I'm 29 now. My 99 GSX broke my heart and wallet time after time when I was still in college and had almost no money. I ended up buying a whole new engine, dropping it in and letting go of my 99 GSX. I'm itching to get back into it!.

What is this car worth?http://www.dsmtuners.com/classifieds/95-99-dsms-for-sale-4/99-silver-gsx-leather-2191/

Buff it out. If it won't buff out, try jb weld

That is a very good price for a 4g63. I just shelled out $2,400 including $250 core charge & taxes.

It raises boost even on a stock car, about 1-2 psi

Yes, your oil will be milky. It will have very very small shavings. Do not run your motor any more.Drain your oil and check it. It will tell you a lot

I just had a BSE done. What happened was the stubby shaft which replaces the silent shaft was not lock titghted to the bolt. I ending up starving all my bearings and replacing the motor. :(

When I rotated my pump it felt VERY grainy when rotating, and was very obvious that something was loose. You can easily hear a rattle when rotating the gear by hand. It sucks to have to redo timing just to check but its a step you have to consider. When I installed my engine it was fine. It only...

Check your oil pump. You will have to slip off your timing belt so you can rotate it by hand. I had a VERY similar sound. My oil pump stubby shaft was very loose, causing a whine with the oil pump.

HAHAa 1700? Where at walmart?

Sorry I don't have an answer but I have been in the same boat as you. I've been working on my car for a year replacing transmission, rebuilding engine, replacing rebuilt engine etc. These cars are cursed. Its been a year since I've felt boost

Isn't the higher the number, the leaner? So your results show it runs richer without recirc than with. Which proves against your theory of it doesn't matter. However props to sticking to your guns!

Where did you get the rebuild done?

Where? If all it was just a timing belt, valves etc and not bearings, that makes sense.

Yeah I'm going to get a 7 bolt. Where do you get your block done at? Or yourself?

Cool. Thanks for the tip

Then I'm gonna have to get a $300 kiggly kit. And wait a month. And pay hundreds in shipping. I'm not getting a 6 bolt.

Solid advice thanks. Yeah I'm going to go 7 bolt, 99 block with split thrust bearings. I will definitely make sure they use my block. I didn't know they use nippon pistons. I need a warranty with this build as I can't have it falling apart on me, so probably no 6 bolt rods.I had 105k miles on...

I don't feel like shelling out $300 for the kiggly kit.

I need a new bottom end with complete rotating assembly. I have been looking at dsmgraveyard''s oem build. I just need to get my car on the road. Where do you guys recommend me getting an engine from? My 99 block/core is reusable. I AM NOT getting a 6 bolt for various reasons, mainly because I...

How to prime your oil pumpThis worked excellent for me

Good call man. Keep it original and sell it in 40 years for 6 figures. I bought mine (99 gsx, black leather white gauges) bone stock. This thing just had oil changes thats it.Well it stayed stock for about 2 months, but only lasted 6 months after that now I am replacing the motor and...

Do you overheat on the highway or while in motion? Fans don't matter above 35 mph

I would replace one at a time, but just snug it up, don't torque it. Then when all of them are on torque down according to pattern. You will have to take the bolts to a shop to get them measured for stretching.

what chip

Buy a new oil pump, new timing belt, oem everything. Just a basic rebuild. Keep your pistons, rods. But get new rings, and hone your block. Topline gaskets are high quality, just get an oem head gasket though.

You can install the crank in backwards, and it will bolt up. Then it won't spin all the way.

I've only pulled the motor out from top with the tranny attached. If you have the right equipment (lift lol) pulling the tranny from the bottom seems the be easiest, but who has a lift?

Can anybody sign up to make a run? Fees, regulations?

You are an n/t man. Just go to the junkyard and grab an engine, or better yet check for a dealer such as green leaf. Do not dump money into that engine, it looks like a trap. :cry:

1. OEM oil pump only.2. It could be bearings. You don't have to pull the motor to check. Drop the oil pan, check for wiggle on the rod caps. However, bearings typically won't be a fine texture like that.

Do a boost leak test then try again.

When you finnally get it off, remember to use plenty of anti seize. I used an impact gun

I would replace coil pack and wires

Sorry I didn't make it. I just got my car back on the road!

What trap speeds were they? And what 60' just for giggles. With these it isn't bench racing, but mathmatics.

Yes you rent it out. Unless you have a friend that has one. Many places carry it. Look for equipment rental places.

I'll be there. 99 gsx.

1. Safer (Don't have to worry about b/s belt) 2. More horsepower due to friction, weight of the b/s 3. Higher oil pressure

The pic on the right is the crank shaft mark! Unless I'm really mistaken.

I've already started it for my first start of my build. It started and idled fine. However something else went wrong with my transmission, so the most throttle I ever gave it was 8%. (until i pulled stoped it and pulled the engine.) At that level it didn't feel QUITE right. Although it could...

I have balance shaft ELIMINTATED

After about a total of 18 man hours on just trying to get the converter on, I succeeded! While the converter's starter ring was flush with the bell housing, I turned the transmission on its opposite end. I then started to spin the converter and push, and let gravity do the work. It when in ever...

I just tried to upload pics but my camera's memory card is corrupt. Sorry. I took it out and tried again. Now the starter ring is flush to the bell housing, and I can turn it. However I still think the converter needs to be in more. Like the starter ring is inside the bell housing by 1/4 inch...

I can't get the torque converter to go in all the way into the bell housing. After about 2 hours + dinner I was able to get the starter ring on the torque converter to be flush with the bell housing. However the torque converter now appears to be jammed. I can't spin it. Is this normal...

You got lucky. Usually there is more damage.

Dugg!

I did push it in. Thats why things broke...

The starter ring was sticking out of the bell housing still. :(
