Mostly complete. (Removed from a crashed '91 AWD Talon hit in the quarterpanel.) The odometer showed 100k miles. MISSING: injectors, water pump, alternator. Oil filter mounting surface/oil cooler is damaged. I doubt the filter gasket will seal. ENGINE HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE GARAGE SINCE '05...

Try adding the hoseclamps in the middle. I had a pile of large ones on hand, but two radiator sized hooked together should be long enough to get around it. It seems to give it some structural rigidity to keep from collapsing. Ideally they should be on the inside, but that's not very practical...

There are a couple factors that you may be dealing with. One is that the bearings in the waterpump are rather strange. They appear to require a huge side load to get the rolling elements to roll, instead of skid, in the races. I have no idea why this would be, but some years ago I had to...

I quoted the wrong size. It was the smaller pump that they make. Don't know why 255 popped into my mind.I'm thinking you would need a dyno to run it on to see the hose distort under operating conditions.Glad the car transporter decided to park his rig on the cross street. While he was...

Car is sold. Shipped to TX. Engine and other parts are still available.

"My guess is the stock intake pipe is collapsing under boost."BINGO!!!Installed a hose clamp as suggested, and the problem mostly disappeared. Slow rev no problem. Stomp on it, and you can feel it starting to fade a bit as it passes 6500rpm.Thank you , ist dwa!

"... ziptie them up." The potential problem with this is that the end yokes may come apart,, as at least one of the two ends of the axle is only held on by the boot when not installed where it belongs. Also, you are getting those clean, greased parts dirty, unless you bag them. Hanging those...

Don't assume you have ruined the bearings. It appears that most of the bearings are ball type, some of them double row. So far I can't find the outer front bearings listed, so I'm unsure of it. I suspect that without the axle stubs, the bearings have walked out of position, hence the wobble. If...

I have some random 1G/2.0L parts I've collected over the last 15 years or so. These are primarily for the AWD cars. Originally I intended to include them with the car, but it was pointed out that this might restrict the field of potential buyers.Car is a '91 AWD Talon, with the leather...

I'll check as soon as it quits raining kittens and puppies. I might have one with my spare motor, need to check both.

I'm pretty sure the cam belt is set correctly. I've replaced it at least 3 times by now. Always acted the same. Bit fanatical about gear alignment for this.I change the belt about every 30k miles. A sister had an identical Talon that broke that belt every 40k. That may not be common, but I'd...

Wastegate appears to be closed. Moves freely when the rod is disconnected, and reconnects without preload. Still need to get the compressor fired up to check the wastegate pot. No obvious cracks in the turbo housing. It's making boost, as it pulls hard when I put my foot in it. I know what it...

Drat, the front connection is a slip joint that just pulls out of the transfer case. Try to have the car jacked higher in the rear to keep the oil from running out. A softdrink cup may slide over the tail section and seal this from leaking while the shaft is out, and keep things clean. If you...

My first thought would be that the driveshaft support bearings are hitting the support due to deterioration of the rubber that suspends them inside the hangers. That driveshaft has two of these, since the shaft has three sections, and each of those middle joints need these to control movement...

The switch sounds like a possible. Car is totally stock under the hood. TPS has been checked and swapped before. Replaced the Caps on the ecu maybe tens years earlier. Recently checked and they looked okay. Brand new Cat Convertor.(see original post on this item) Pulls strong to 5500 and then...
