Hey there,
We're working on our high school class project gsx. We inherited a basket case, so we weren't able to make a lot of observations before it was all apart. I've been reading lots of threads, but we still have a few questions. Summer is almost here so we're trying to just get our bearings before we postpone the project until the fall. Or maybe come in over the summer... (FYI, we're doing the 2g head mostly because we only had a long block, no intake/etc.)
We've noticed that the 6 bolt block and 2g tranny don't line up perfectly. I assume we'll need a plate to block of the exposed flywheel. My guess, which I will go google, is that those plates were on 1gs only and we just didn't have one with our short block.
Crank sensor- we have dsmlink, never used it before, but it sounds like that will fix any problems with not having the CKPS.
With a 2g head on it, are there any other special considerations we need to account for? Do we need the 1g CAS or we can just use the 2g one, right? We're read lots of articles on 6 bolt swaps, but they all are written for 1g heads too. So any advice is appreciated.
