I do have the crank at TDC for a 6bolt. Thank you.What I'm trying to do is allign the cam gears. I don't think they are aligned per my locking tool. Please look at the orientation of the tool and the lines not being in the window.My question is how do I allign the cam gears so I can lock...

Can anyone kindly let me know if the cam gears are at TDC in this picture? The block is at TDC.If I do have to adjust the cam gears what would be the easiest way? I was think of rotating the block 90 degrees counterclockwise then adjusting the cams with a wrench on the cams. The cams are...

I have read a few old and new threads about experiences using an aftermarket oil pump. I'm considering purchasing an aftermarket pump ITR 6Bolt Oil Pump. Can you guys please share your past or current experiences using an aftermarket pump vs OEM.Just a heads up on my current plan, I will be...

My dumbass did not realize this, but this tire compressor does have a quick connect (picture included). So that should work. Please let me know.The only thing I'm not understanding is "when you said being able to control the output pressure from the compressor."The compressor has a built-in...

Here is a picture of my setup. Basically, just a bare head installed. Do I need to install anything else to perform this test correctly?Also, this is the compressor I will be using. It's a tire compressor. Is this adequate to perform this test?Also, if you could you direct me maybe through...

They are GSC S1's with dual valve springs, hence a lot harder to compress, but as you pointed out the lobe is bigger than stock even if they are just GSC S1's.Can someone here kindly provide a quick cliff note on how to do a compression/leak down test with the cams and timing belt uninstalled...

The cam was stationary, and the cam caps were hand tight. Let me provide you some pictures. From the pictures I provided do you think enough pressure is being put on the valves to keep them slightly open and can be damaged by an engine rotation?

Here's what happened,My freshly rebuilt cylinder head is torqued down to the block, no timing belt installed, no spark plugs installed. Both cams are pointing at 12 0'clock, with the cam caps hand tightened not even fully flush with the cylinder head, but there is some pressure on the valves...

Got it man. Thanks!I just got it out from the top with a 17mm regular wrench/stubby. Not looking forward to installing the new one when it arrives this week.

I'm about to pull the factory rack and I'm stuck on the 17mm power steering line nut (green circle). First, do I use a flare/line wrench or regular wrench? Second, did you use a stubby wrench, because the 17mm I'm using is too long and I can't properly place it over the nut? Thanks.

Thank you so much for clearing that up!

Can someone kindly provide the torque specs for the cam caps on a 6 bolt head when using ARP bolts ARP Cam Tower Bolts. The instructions that came with the tower bolt kit says 168in-lbs. That does not seem right considering the factory OEM cam cap bolts is between 14 -16in-lbs

Thanks for sharing dwb!Amcbride91panda, how long ago and how many miles have you put on your rack? Any issues? Thanks.

Thank you for everyone's input.I went ahead and ordered the steering rack and tie rod ends from Detroit Axel. I will update this thread on fitment.

I'm stuck on the same question. I'm trying to replace my 1991 Talon AWD Rack and Pinion, but Rock Auto has it broken down by FWD and AWD and Detroit Axel list states that they fit all models Galant's, Talons, Eclipses, and Lasers. Does anyone have a definitive answer?
