Hey man, I'm having the same problem you are and I have a broken exhaust stud. I took the exhaust manifold off and the gasket looked like it had oil all over the #1 exhaust port bc of the stud letting oil leak out of it. It's the top left stud that's broken on my car. I'm still in the middle of...
I wouldn't be using anything 6 bolt. The shop installed a 6 bolt crank on the 7 bolt rods and pistons in the 7 bolt block by mistake.
I wanna know if I can swap the 7 bolt crank in without removing the head. Or if that is even a good idea.
I'm looking at a 1995 talon tsi fwd. It has 44,3xx miles on the body. Stock everything, Needs paint, and the motor is out, been sitting for 14 years after a piston got a hole in it(don't know how it happened).Seller sent the car(last year) to a shop to put a new piston in it bc one got a...
I too am curios about the sun visors. I have the fabric to do my 3 2gs and Ive done the headliner before but tried to open up the visors and failed. Any tips??
Ok so I just went and checked the timing and I rotated the crank ###### 15 times trying to line up the camshaft marks. Well every time I put the crankshaft sprocket on it's mark on the timing cover the camshaft dowel pins would be at 10 o'clock and then 5 o'clock every other time. Does the oem...
Ok I totally forgot about the blow by problem. He said the dipstick comes out sometimes if he is hard on it. I haven't had it happen but I've been careful. The car is mostly stock except for an eBay front mount and a leaky(like crazy even at idle) eBay BOV vented to atmosphere (just swapped out...
Ok, I will check the timing when I get a chance. I don't think he had anything done to the head. He didn't have the cash to put in it, used the same timing belt and all. Just a composite head gasket and some ARP's were added.
The car has 103,xxx miles on it. And the car was warm and the throttle was held open during the test. The previous owner said the car was missing the knock sensor for a while and flooded the engine, couldn't that kill the rings? I don't have a leak down tester, where should I get one at? I just...
Just bought a 97 GST(knowing the possible engine problems) and checked compression and here are the results. I did two tests on each cylinder and then added a capful of oil to each cylinder and checked again.1st 148 2nd 155 with oil 190
1st 135 2nd 138 with oil 165
1st 129 2nd 132 with oil...
They are great pulleys! Lighter and they use the same belts. I payed good money for mine, just use an oem(or fluidampr) crank pulley, it's a harmonic dampner and you don't want that aluminum crank pulley.
Man that sounds like a pretty good price. You don't find them with low miles like that. Looks pretty clean too. I'd say pick it up if it's mechanically sound! Check it out!
Hey man I've owned about 6 dsms and I know a clean one when I see one. That's GREAT mileage for the car, just drive the car and see if the turbo spools well and shifts through all the gears and has decent power. You will NOT be disappointed in the Gsx over your prelude as long as the Gsx has a...
Any downpipe should work with that o2 housing. There are alot of options for you, apexi, Megan, thermal, the list goes on. But any down-pipe for a 2g should bolt to that housing, if you have awd get an awd exhaust if you get a FWD get a FWD exhaust.haha
