I took a few pictures that I could refer to for assembly. Mainly orientation of the spring, or you could mark it with a paint marker.As far as setting the TPS, it's pretty straight forward too :hellyeah:TPS Adjustment
If the seller of the car rebuilt the motor himself, it could have simply been from not removing previous shavings and or who knows what.I ordered the wrong size main bearings once, it was a late night mistake :ohdamn:I think I ordered them from MAP and the sizes were MM, and I forgot...
Do you know how many miles were on the rebuild?I would assume the pistons and rings should be reusable. If the cylinders need honed you can get a new set of rings to match the pistons (standard or bored over) from wiseco or many vendors that sell wiseco pistons.Rods should be fine, but...
Welcome!If it's the clutch, it may just need adjusting. Metal in the case is never a good thingManuals are pretty straight forward, as long as the case is in good shape.Lots of info on VFAQ for do it yourself, or learn about it so the shop doesn't bend you over :pTranny Rebuild...
How does your state do emissions testing?Here in OH, they just use the OBDII system to check for DTC's and do a visual inspection for a catalytic converter to be "present".I have a look-a-like converter on my GST, basically a shell of a converter without the honeycomb inside!
Personally, I would make sure the gasket doesn't prevent flow.Slight beveling of the flange shouldn't hurt the integrity of the welds.I would not with the welds on the inside. If you do decide to massage them a bit, they may crack, and you can always have them welded back up.
My GST would torque steer like no other! Basically pull you into the ditch!I picked up a Quaife differential off ebay for around $900. It was brand new.Added a bunch of mods in the process of installing it. I would say i'm around your HP range, maybe more.The differential is one of the...
Sounds like when you took the one wheel off the motor was on the compression stroke, then when you switched to the other side, you reversed it until you got resistance again ( pistons heading to TDC)All this is assuming you were removing your wheels with a breaker bar or wheel wrench while it...
Is it just the driver side floor pan?I am guessing that the car had a broken driver window or it was partially down.My buddy and I pulled out a 70 ford Torino out of his grandpa's shed that was basically collapsing onto it. Floor pans were almost completely rotted out of it because of water...
