Working on my HX35 w/ BEP housing but the motor mount is in the way of drain. Are people cutting the motor mount, clocking the turbo a little to make room? I can’t seem to find much info on it. .
What's up all, getting my engine put back in last on my M/T 6 bolt, and I stripped one of the tranny motor mount bolts. The bolt that attaches the mount to the transmission. What's the best way to fix this? Helicoil?Also, the bolt I have for it look really small, does anyone know a part...
Interesting, I can't think of anything that I've worked on that would have it. If no one has ever seen it then it must have just gotten mixed up in my parts.
What's up all. I just got my motor back from being at the machine shop for several months and am reassembling it all. I came across this part and can't find in my pictures where I took it off from. Any pointers would be appreciated. from a 92 6 bolt.
What's up guys, I haven't forgotten about the thread just been waiting since September to get my motor back. Machine shop was backed up like crazy. Figured I would do a pic dump of what I've been working on.1.) Recoated the fender wells and replaced everything.Before:After:Started...
Just got my motor back from my engine builder. He went ahead and put in a BSE but left the pulley on. Should it stay on or should I get a shorter bolt?See pic
What’s up guys. I’m about to get my built 6 bolt back from my builder and just picked up a fresh head. I want some gsc s2 cams to go with my hx 35 but don’t know if the are too aggressive for my springs. Below is specs on head.STD GSC valves
GSC race guides
GSC Viton seals
BC springs and...
Thanks all. Near as I can tell all I have to do to use the 90 in my 92 is swap wires. It looks like if you’re putting a 91+ in a 90 then u have to do more to deal with the tach issue.
Replacing struts in my 1g awd, is there a rubber isolator/seat between the bottom of the spring between it and strut? I threw my old strut away and completely forgot to look.
When I was looking into bearings I found tons of examples of stock rebuilds running the ACL race and seeing builds with them from 2016 and before and still running fine. I thought since it's the most popular on extremepsi and stmtuned coupled with the fact I couldn't find a lot of bearing...
Did you keep stockers? Swing by hw store and get a couple longer. If you have a leveler just use the PS bracket holes and then bolt leveler to that and exhaust.
Put lift brackets back on. One by PS pump and one by TB. I had my manifold off too when I pulled mine and just used an exhaust stud. Kinda sketchy but I tightened as much as I could and it was fine. I pulled tranny and engine together. I got tons of pics so let me know if you got any questions.
Looks awesome man! I've got my motor off to the machine shop, went with the same pistons and rods you did, that's what my builder recommended and boy are they pretty! I know what you mean about them being inspiring.Have you done anything with your suspension? I wanted to pull my subframe to...
Got some engine parts in today! Went with stock bore 9:1 compression. My engine builder said the balance shaft bearings gave out and caused the timing to jump. The bad BS bearings also ate up my rod and main bearings once metal was in the oil. I was pro keeping BS before I found this out, so...
Tank was in great shape believe it or not. I drained it and it wasn't rusted. The two front fenders are bent where the doors are out of alignment and bent them, not sure if they can be fixed and painted or if i'll need to track down a pair in good shape. Interior is pretty much perfect, I'll...
What's up all, it seems the cool thing to do now is to bring these old DSMs back from the dead. I've always been a Mustang guy but loved DSMs ever since I first rode in one before I got my license.I should have started this sooner, but I bought the car in November 2020 and have been slowly...
Yea, I had to replace fuel lines and several other things just to get it to the point of being able to run. Once I started it it ran terrible and sounded like it had rod knock and that's when I decided it was time to go through the motor and just see what condition it's in. I have fresh head...
I'm in the process of restoring my first DSM. Car had low compression (around 110) so I figured I might as well rebuild the engine. So I got it pulled and started tearing it down and noticed what looks to me like my timing is way off. Spun the engine 6 times and got the cam gears lined up...
Whats up all. Wanting to get a front mount, looks like ETS about the best u can find now days. What's everyone doing for piping? I can't find a short route pipe kit anywhere.I'm almost tempted to get a punishment or cx racing just for thr piping.
That was my thoughts, its just dead pedal for several inches so hard to blame the hyd. Now it is an aftermarket master and slave. Thanks for the quick reply.
Restoring a 92 Talon. When I got it, it didn't have a slave. So put a new master, slave, and stainless line on. I've bled the shit out of it and have a lot of dead clutch pedal. Is this a bad pedal assembly? Is it worth pulling tranny to see if it's a clutch issue?The pedal doesn't even...
What's up guys, needed to replace my turbo cooling line and when I took the manifold off (turbo on) most of the studs came out with it so removal was cake.Put a new stud kit on and trying to re-install that manifold with studs on this time and have tried everything and I can get the left side...
Looks like a 6 bolt going off the faq oil pan guide. Top is flat where it meets block and if running my hand down the front under the crank it protrudes out a bit.So after some reading it appears I have a 1g 7 bolt head on a 6bolt block. Now, who knows if the studs were drilled out like they...
Whats up all. I needed some new exhaust manifold studs for my 92 I'm restoring and while looking I noticed I need the studs for a 7 bolt (two large studs on end, the rest smaller)So I'm curious did Eagle put 7 bolts heads on a 6 bolt? Did someone put a 7 bolt head on? (I doubt this as car...
Alright guys, dumbass mistake. Replacing hose from thermostat to turbo coolant line and when I went to put a plug on the hardline to keep coolant from leaking out, the plug went in the hardline. Can this hardline be removed without taking off the turbo and manifold?
Installing the 818 tank to rail and there's no way to get around this bracket with the line and the fittings they sent. Can I get rid of it ans shorten the throttle body bolts? I can't find any pics with the kit and an engine that has it.
