Yeah, I couldn't get "before" out of the "but".Makes sense now :D

Yup, I'm confused.The oil in the valve cover (I believe you mean outside the valve cover, probably in the spark plug wells) is normally from the valve cover gasket (the round rings that go around the spark plug wells). Or possibly a crack in the valve cover.Am I understanding this correct...

Something sounds fishy. Generally you should have a larger gap in the upper and lower control rings. Though the expander ring normally can seem to be too big, I'd be suspicious because of the "no gap" oil rings.I haven't used NPR for these engines so my suggestion would be to fall back to the...

NordicSaab, check the application that he is asking about. I think he's got a 420a not a 4G63

Yeah, do a wet test to check rings.I think Paul just mistyped on the valves comment ;)

Sweet consistent times!Switch the fuels. That opinion is gleaned from some very fast Honda and Nissan guys I know. Both a couple of high end tuners (hint Phil, one of them begins with the letter M ;) ). That is not to denigrate the W/A (I believe in that too), but the fuel switch is much...

Fvckinin' A man congrats! 10.70 at this level is close to a blow out of Joey's 10.84. Very cool that you finally hit it. Excellent :hellyeah:MB

What's a turbo? ;)

I ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT DO!! :nono:Haha, j/k, after all the conversations, I don't think we ever came up with an actual plan of attack.The reason you don't see that much on the 2G is because if the 2G guys got into the mix, it would be no contest. They would just WALK away with it :p...

Modern (I used to use RRE a lot, but I think thye may have gotten out of 420a. You might check for Neon parts on there).But for what you are asking for, honestly, check E-bay (yeah, I said that ;)) You cna find set-ups of JE pistons and Eagle rods on there relatively inexpensive. Just be...

Not trying to be a dork or argumentative, but you have an inline 4 cylinder. Unless you plan on doing some real fancy math and study, why go duals? For the looks?

I would recommend using a crankscraper. You will gain from it. Keep in mind the higher rpm you go, the more friction you have out of the oil splash.As for an LTH, you are absolutley correct. Imo, its needed. And you are also correct that nobody makes them. I still have Peachy's and I had a...

14.2 NA would put you in second on the list beating Billy who ran a 14.6 (and then the car quickly disappeared). So congrats man! Super on the stock bottom end. Best I have done is 14.8's on stock bottom end, but I never gave it much of a nevermind.

No no, you can't do that. You asked for help and guys gave you their time and input then you just say "solved'? OMGEven if you screwed something up at least give a conclusion for those that tried to help and those that will alter search.I mean someone may do the same thing you did.......

Yup.
