Lots of folks making over 500whp using holsets and e85.

or maybe he is getting ready to run more than 600, but currently does not have that power. IT DOESNT MATTER HOW MUCH POWER HE HAS, just stick to the question he asked.I too am curious as to how you do this.

You were at the beginning of crankwalk for some reason. And that's what you have to fix, not the number of end play. You now got less end play with new bearings because the thrust bearing is not worn yet.Actually many people have done that in...

Alright happy Saturday everyoneWhat I have done is very unconventional and slipped a new set of bearings. Upon doing so I double checked all bearing clearances again after installing a brand new set of ARP main studs and the mains have exactly...

those bearings are trashed

No not yet

Yeah them two main bearings look pretty bad for an engine that was just “rebuilt”.Judging by the picture you can definitely catch your fingernails on them??-Daniel

I'm terrible at reading the bearings understanding what they mean. All I know is bearings look not great obviously but crank is in perfect condition still. Thrust bearing isn't even eaten up too bad

It is as easy and cheap as Marty says, you don't need a degree to do it.. but don't do what I did and mount the indicator to the subframe and then pry the crank with a bar. That's a sure fire 1 way road to Dumbassville.I shouldn't be spreading...

Motor has always been built by me and rebuild was done because I melted pistons with bad fuel from gas station previously. Car run on e85 only and turned out the pump gave me 88 unleaded after talking with the tenant.Ive built about 12 motors...

So I actually don't have a dial indicator for the crank but the feeler gage idea is genius. I'll give that a try and hope to the dsm God's that the play isn't too bad. Now if and probably when I'm out of spec for the end play, I will more than...

A couple things are at question here:what is your crank endplay? You can test this with the engine off. Tap the crank bolt with a rubber deadblow to move the crankshaft towards the transmission. Affix a dial indicator to probe against the crank...

im on speed density myself, you can still experience it. it means its after your map sensor. ( injectors to head, intake manifold gasket, vacuum ports on back of intake, etc )do a boost leak test, its always step zero.i dont remember crank...

Today I woke up at 8am to do another oil change on my brand new motor find out it keep shaving crankwalk symptoms. Threw my 17mm wrench and can't find it now

Walked outside.... kicked the tire and said "You awake?" Then I went back inside and played Halo Reach. @_@

Cars on Speed density though. That would have nothing to do with pressing clutch in I assumed. Like I know for 110% that I don't have a leak. Vacuum at idle was around -12 Vacuum with 280 cams. I forgot already but I believe endless Play need to...

dont need to pull the pan, try this first and see if there is any movement. plus remember its a freshly rebuilt motor so youll have some glitter and such with everything being broken inso if you clutch in and the idle drops but the car feels...

Take a pry bar and see if there is any movement of the crank, see if the balancer moves or the flywheel. be careful what youre prying off of

I'll be dropping the pan tonightI'll be dropping pan tonight to do that actually. I have been doing oil changes hoping it was the break in oil contaminating everything but still keep coming out glittery and the stranger thing is that the oil...

The question I'm asking is about crankwalk, and yes I know ow there a other threads out there but nothing like what I'm experiencing. So what I'm asking is where to look for trouble shooting more.With that being said, I have a 98 gst. The motor...
