I'll do thatoil squirter info..

I did get a build sheet but it did not include clearances; only dollar amounts for the service/part

Thats my question.

So it could be machining, bearing clearances, and or bad/clogged oilers. None of which are on me

No specific warranty info was given. I have a receipt with all the services and prices but that's it.

10-30 mobil conventional oil changed at 150 then 500 miles. I wouldn't have used the cranked but the shop sounded so completely confident that they convinced me to go with it. Clevite bearings were used for the rods and mains.

The shop assembled the bottom end. I assume they did

Ok but the shop measured, machined, and checked the crank/bearings for clearences before I wrote them a $1000 check.

At 175,000, I spun a rod bearing so I decided to rebuild: 7 bolt, balance shaft elimination, eagle rods, Aries 20 over positions, clevite over sized main and rod bearings etc. I had a local machine shop machine my crank, balance and assemble the shortblock, just to be safe. I assembled the rest...

There's no way there going to buy me new gaskets. They only assembled the shortblock. If they do, maybe I'll find another roller in better shape. Even then, I wouldn't trust the engine after they messed it up the first time. This is my dd, or, was my dd

Spun a rod bearing at 175,000 miles

The only update is that ive decided to part it out. I havnt torn it down or taken it back to them yet. I don't have the $ to replace all of the gaskets/oil/coolant etc again and I especially don't have the time. I'm just really discouraged over this and it is terrible that this shop has...

What's the best angle at approaching the machine shop that did my bottom end to get this worked out?

Tom, I wish your luck came to me.I have .025" of crank end play.

Just recently built my motor after a rod bearing failure. The bottom end was professionally machined, balanced, and assembled. I have almost 700 miles on it and noticed right from the start that when I pushed the clutch (act 2600 with a street disc on an act flywheel) in, my rpms drop a lot. I...

Great. I'll try that.Just tried all of the aem widebands and no dice.... The R1 reads 19:1 at idle and does not move. Am I missing something? Do I need to ground the black wire on the rear o2 harness that came from the stock sensor?

To make a long story short, I just broke in my built motor and am now looking to start tuning. Doing some logs, I noticed that my aem analog wideband (in the ecmlink log) sits at 15.8 until I get on it. When the wideband responds in link, it reads almost 2 afrs leaner than what the gauge is...

It runs better!

I watched this like 30 times. I think its perfect

I got both door switches working, still no luck. I also checked my driver side ground by the hl.

I just don't see how your head lights would cause your interior lights to go... Have you relocated your battery?

Tested my dimmer and my light switch on the steering column and they both checked out good

find anything?

x2 with the same issue

its funny: I was going to post nearly this exact thread. Ever since Ive had my 2g, the tail lights would flicker when the brake pedal was pressed and ONLY the interior lights ON. When the headlights were on, however, I got solid running tails and solid brake lights. Recently, my interior lights...

I like to the turbo to mani bolts are about a half inch too short

Here is my 10th log. Let me know what you think and I would appreciate some advice.Issues. Knock, (obviously). My wb gauge is reading about 1 afr more rich than its logging. For some reason and the car is cruising rich (about 12:1).Also, I have check the lock rear o2 voltage box as...

(head in the sand)

Im stuck in open loop. Coolant tps maf etc seem to be working properly. Front o2 was replaced about a year ago.

Make sure you are running ngk plugs

even the google function

Smoke? not good id think. Id get it checked out soon. How does it feel while turning sharply?

Nice. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

Anyone know what wheels these are? They came on this car when I got it a few years back and I really need to find some center caps

It really depends on if you have a back up vehicle in my opinion. A shep or tre trans will hold that power and give you peace of mind.Also, you'll find the price difference between a local shop to do a rebuild vs a shep or tre build is quite small. I'd trust a Dsm trans specialist over a local...

check the compression!

Inspect your connection at the ofh. I know my wires are rigged from the previous owner. I need an aftermarket gauge.

I havnt seen the sun ruse in forever. lol nice shots

The sound was my clutch throwing something around in the bell housing. The fluid is not coming from the t case nor its respective input shaft but rather somewhere else inside the bell housing. Im thing my ### one year old ACT street disc lost one of its springs or something and it knocked a hole...

I noticed a few months ago a very slow leak coming off of my tcase. Pulling out of the parking lot today I noticed a metallic clatter almost like I ran over a few pop cans or something but I could feel it resonate through the car. I pulled over and there was fluid leaking from in between the...

VR Speed FMIC. Shopline Dark Cloisonne Poly paint

Its the VR speed fmic. It was a great buy

Dark Cloisonne Poly... I cant remember the 4 digit number off hand... its a GM paint color.

Go to home depot and buy some plastic and line your garage. Its cheap.

yes i am

Here goes my first blog:I bought this 95' talon last year and it has the worst paint on it so I decided to fix this problem and well as many of the other problems caused by the previous owners.I'll be brief. It had some holes in the hatch where a high rise wing was wood screwed in (yes, wood...

nice Allen. I be getting with you soon for that 2gb front clip

It seems like your exhaust would really get those catch can lines HOT. Nice though. Looks like it will be a beast.

nice. let us know how it works for you

Nice man. I'd polish that heat shield up if I were you. How much was that bov? Ive never heard of them. I need to clean my carpet also.
