I was wondering. What were the interior selections for the 2gb Talons? Did they have the option of 2 tone black/grey like the eclipses could get? What years had the all solid grey interiors? These questions apply to LEATHER interiors only. Thanks!
I am doing a rebuild on a 90 6 bolt and when my machinist went to do my head he called me up and told me that he will be unable to do a valve job because he does not have the correct "bit" or something and it would cost him $300 and that is not "profitable" for him. He told me that if I can find...
I am doing a rebuild on my '90 TSi AWD and I had a question about the oil cooler. Can you clean those? I mean the guy before spun a rod bearing so this is kind of my project car and I was wondering if its possible to clean out those external coolers if any metal got inside. Thanks!
I am doing a rebuild and I have searched NPR on tuners and it seems like mostly good replies that say people like their products. I have heard that NPR makes the original 4g63t pistons/rings. Is this true? No dealer has ever given me a straight answer. Thanks!
Here are pics from the 6 bolt I have which spun a bearing. Cylinder wall pics vvThis engine (above) "ran" but had rod knock so I only started it up for a few seconds to listen.Here are more recent pics I guess of the red short block I was looking at.Just...
I was planning on rebuilding my other 6 bolt that has a spun rod bearing it (came with the car), since i have another crank and set of rods. Or I was going to buy a running one. On my rebuild I was thinking MLS HG and I was hoping I could re-use the pistons from the old 6 bolt.. I'll get pics of...
I was thinking about buying it to put a head on it. But under the condition that it was run-able.. which it appears to be not. Thanks guys.Also at BoredDSM, what pistons would you suggest in a rebuild project? Thanks
Hey wondering if this block needs to be machined before putting a head on and running it. My concern is the cylinder walls. I'm just not sure if they will clear up after running or not run at all. Thanks. Pics vv
I've actually had this happen to me before after swapping an engine in my old 2g. The pedal would go about halfway down and then stick to the floor. The first thing I would suggest you check is the master cylinder. Crawl in upsidedown underneath your dash and look up by the clutch pedal with a...
I was wondering where everyone has taken their 6 bolt rods to get machined for 2g pistons. My local toolmaker doesn't feel comfortable doing it because of the amount of precision and accuracy needed (mostly keeping the crank bore and the wrist pin bore on the EXACT same plane), and all the local...
Looking for a running 6 bolt in des moines/ames area. I can meet halfway for most places in Iowa. I'm also from northeast Iowa so anywhere up there works too. Let me know and we can work out a price, thanks.
My plan was to rebuild this engine to stock and try to keep costs low. The whole block has just around 100k miles on it.What would you project this might cost on average if you have any idea? Thanks
