Their current policy is that they must spray for you. Just be aware, not necessarily a bad thing, but it adds cost. Just give them a call?gopatrickfl.com
The pistons didnt exceed deck height from what I could tell, but I know the head was decked aggressively, thats why I am asking what to do to make up the difference in head height. I am assuming a thicker head gasket is safe?edit: lol pretty sure I put the trigger plate on reversed. That...
I am using the 2g oil pump so I can keep the 2g crank pos sensor thus I am using the trigger plate for timing just like a 2g. It should time correctly.
I just finished replacing the headgasket on a motor I bought from the junkyard. It appears the motor has been milled down aggressively as even the depth checkers on the head have some machine marks on them. I did the timing, correctly mind you, and the valves seem to touch the pistons when...
Right and you have to do that anyways with just using a 2g oil pump on a 6 bolt anyways so why not just use a 2g oil pump? Its far cheaper since you probably already have one lying around.I just did the rre og way . It only ran around 50 bucks after it was said and done. I would way...
I am having this exact same problem.I have swapped in my 95 ecu with dsmlink and the problem goes away, ofcourse. Any 97-99 ECU I use will missfire once in steady condition above 2300 rpms regardless of gear.Its seems as if, that the ecu sees the misfire and shuts off spark and fuel to...
The demographic a car just happens to be most associated with, has no bearing on its actual capabilities. If you hate the demographic DSMs are associated with and hold the car responsible THEN GET THE #### OUT OF THE SCENE. Don't come in here whining about "whiners" who are trying to stand up...
Dont listen to people that dont uderstand how to build a 7 bolt without having it walk.There is no excuse for a motor to walk. If a motor walks it walks because THE ASSEMBLER didnt check everything. THere are plenty of theories, and they can all be resolved.Some believe the oil...
OMFG you tell that jack@ss to give you back your money or your going to civil court. There is NO reason for it to take a year to rebuild this motor. It takes 8 hours after getting all parts together. Thats being generous.700hp is retarded and your rod bolts will break long before that...
Cool story bro but the size of the rods and head bolt size is all the 6 bolt has on the 7 bolt. Bringing up thrust issues to diss the 7 bolt is a honda fanboi move.The 7 bolt still gets the girdle and stronger pistons/better head design/ interchangeability of internals with evos.
Thats what I was getting at in my first post.Are these pistons 2g EDM n/t or are 1g 7 bolt usdm n/t?This matters, the wrist pin is a different diameter.
This is really interesting....I wonder if these are the pistons from the EDM n/a 4g63 2g eclipses....Are these going in a 7 bolt? You need to make sure the wrist pin is the right diameter. If so, I would measure the ring land and compare that to a stock USDM turbo 7 bolt 2g piston and if...
This is a legitimate question. I dont see the issue.Anyways, its impossible to mess up because there is a notch on the rod and rod cap where those tabs would go.
Anyone find it funny that the same people that praise a turbo for going 10s on a single shop car that costs 2x times as much are the ones bitching about how 10 examples of holsets on this board going 10s arent enough to prove them?That, good sirs, is some nutswinging.There are better...
I always tell them to hot tank it. I always get charged for that seperately. I guess I always assumed they just hottanked it afterwards as well. I guess I will have to call to confirm.
Cars rust easier in florida than the midwest. I grew up in the south and went to college in South Dakota just to move back to cenfla. Trust me, a florida car should not be a selling point.
Yeah every dsm I have seen with a spun bearing had damaged the journals on the crank. Its hard for me to imagine a spun bearing without journal damage to the crank. That means a rebuild of the bottom end. I get your joke, I just dont think noobs will.I agree with everything but that...
The value in DSMLINK lies within its user friendliness. I build megasquirts for myself and friends but I use dsmlink on my DDs. Its just too damn easy to use and install.
Yeah there was no oil starvation having looked at that bearing. I would definitely count out the oil squirter at this point.So what was your endplay when assembled?
Looks great!PS you would have to preheat the cast iron to a hotter temperature than 200 degrees to keep it from failing. The reason is that the amount of current you would need to actually penetrate 1/2" cast iron is going to heat up the surrounding area much more than you would think. It...
I will say this, thrust bearing failure is accelerated dramatically by lack of localized oil pressure. This can happen if that squirter is sticking open due to it relying on the same oil galley as the main bearing attached to the thrust bearing. The thrust bearing doesnt get alot of oil to...
####. That.You cant make a quality forged crank for 185 dollars. It takes that much in materials if not more.However, I would LOVE to be wrong. That is a hell of a price.
Well since stock rods are pressed pin and eagles are free floating, you would have to machine a grove for a pin to retain the wrist pin into the stock pistons.I dont know anyone who would recommend doing that.
Are you seriously denying the basic operation of the BOV?!? Why the #### do you think they need to be adjusted when venting?! You cant do that with the stock BOV, and with aftermarket valves you ARE flowing enough to make a difference for it to "blow off".This is simple. You are merely...
You guys, this guy is going to kill himself. I saw this thread when it had all the pics of his welding on the chassis and it was horrific. Sure I'll give him an A for effort but that chassis needs to be x ray'd.
