Not a fun post but I'm needing some help diagnosing a very weird knocking sound coming from my recently rebuilt engine.6 bolt, 2g head, wiseco Pistons, k1 eagle h beam, rest of the internals are factory.Rebuilt myself and besides refining the tune it's been running great as I've been putting...

Yeah it makes no sense to me how it would seem to run better with the gap but I'm not expecting anything tomorrow morning. I guess we'll see.It could be electrical. The coil pack was brand new when I bought the car, pretty sure it was changed before they listed it, maybe its going bad again lol

I seem to have found part of the issue. Pulled my plugs and gapped them tighter and it seems to be running better. The real test will be a cold start below freezing tomorrow morning.And yes it definitely needs rebuilt, she eats up oil pretty quick, just hoping I can somehow make it through...

190k miles. Been having this issue throughout the summer. Car cranks fine but never starts strong it always would sit and misfire sometimes even through the intake😬 until rpms would rise enough to smooth out then it would idle and drive fine. Also I noticed that when cranking and running...

Okay, that makes more sense now lol. The light does work it came on when I popped my headlight fuse the other day.

Is that the battery dummy light? And how do I check that

Gotcha, I remember reading that somewhere but this is my 3rd alternator on the car since the original got soaked in ps fluid and the second one got hot and melted 🫤.It does seem to do something since I've driven it probably 30 miles without charging the battery and it hasn't died or gone below...

Need help since my alternator doesn't seem to charge. New 75a alternator with new connections and it doesn't seem to charge, at the most it's maybe just keeping the battery at 11.6 which can dip down while driving. I figured it would be smart to upgrade to the Galant 90a (I have one on order)...

I did a coolant pressure test before taking it out today and I pumped it to 13psi and it held perfect.

Did exactly as you said and it hasn't puffed any smoke yet. Haven't driven alot so hopefully it stays that way lol.Any explanation as to why that would have caused all the smoke?

Right on, I'll update later today with what it does.

I will try this today. Do you mean leave the other one how it is and add another line preturbo?

I will in the next few days and update with what I find. Seems odd I'm still having this issue with freshly machined surfaces and mls head gasket with arp studs.Does that mean this isn't a turbo issue since my turbo only has oil lines, no coolant?

The breather on the side is still capped but the breather facing the rear of the valve cover is ran into the intake manifold directly.
