Forgot, Lubricate ( Mobil 1 ) sealing angle of the fitting to prevent galling when tighting.

Make sure you wrap the end of the hose you'r cutting with a good tape. I use a reinforced packaging tape ( link below ), wrap the end tightly, put a " cut here " line on the tape and use a cut off wheel and other members suggested, cutting thru the stainless and PTFE, ( make sure you make a...

Where did you get the cluster from? Admire your effort !!!

Hopefully you meant ground not polished

You cannot polish that much material off a crank and keep it round. If you think of the process,a belt is pressed against a rotating main, it's not backed up and can flap somewhat, it is no where near as accurate as a grinder at a fixed position. If there is somewhere you can get it polished...

I bore gauge ( set with a calibration ring ) the main bores, cap torqued, no bearings, mic the crank ( 4 places per journal ), mic the bearings ( with the correct style mic ), do the math and mix and match the bearings to get as close to the clearance I want ( note: there is very little...

Agree with bastarddsm, plastiguage is not real accurate but if that's all you have, I'd be really concerned with #1 and #4, I run my 2.3 at .0025" @ a 600Hp level. For what it's worth an old rule of thumb for a modified engine is .001" clearance for every 1" of main diameter, since DSM mains are...

Don't know what the design failure mode is, open or closed but assuming worst case (closed ), the trans temp gauge would let me know.

If you have room I'd go with OEM, if you need a low profile I'd go with Hayden. Hayden is a supplier to many OEM's and the design and testing that's required for OEM is significant and translates to after-market. I had Mishimoto fans mounted to their shroud and the legs of the grill that...

Auto, stock except shift kit, my trans temp sending unit is on the outlet cooler line.

Should have provided more information in that last response. That 125 – 145 with a 75 Deg ambient is under normal driving with the factory cooler. I’ve installed a 8 X 5 In B&M but haven’t driven the car since its install and the reason I’m considering a thermostat is without it, the fluid...

Yes I do and it ranges from 125 - 145 fully warmed up on a say, 75 Deg day.

I have a question about the effectiveness of the transmission fluid cooler thermostats. The Perma Cool, Derale... etc type that go between the transmission fluid cooler output and input ports to either the stock or an aftermarket cooler. Seems they allow 10% flow thru the cooler until the...

Thanks all, It's as I suspected experience indicates the results aren't worth the effort, but haven't heard any specifics. Just so we can eliminate any speculation ( like mine ) I'll take it as far as measuring things up and determine the specific reason(s) why it can't be done ( EX. the offset...

First, checked Techs, Posts , web and could not find information on the subject. If it hasn’t been tried (Knowing the DSM community that’s unlikely) but, if not I will dimension things up and if it’s possible fab what’s necessary, but never hurts to ask if someone has tried it. A little...

Received my Earl's fittings today and they came with an o-ring that was bonded to a washer. This isn't what they pictured on their web site. BUT the o-rings off the origional factor nipples were in good shape so I transfered them over.

I'm not a fan of switching to stainless AN for looks but the factory automatic trans cooler hard and rubber lines take up alot of space better used for larger turbos and dumps. I wanted to replace mine and the factory hose nipples threaded into the block are 12mm X 1.25, the thread bore is also...

I did the Garrett Turbo Tech 103 on a compressor map for a PTE 5031E ( internally wastgated ), I'll post it for you to look over as soon as I figure out how to post a .jpeg or picture in this form.

I'm rewired, with the battery relocate, I've run a #10 to a 40Amp GM relay underbody using the Packard weather tight type connectors using the origional pump power and ground wires as the relay control.

Thanks, 2GFWDbeast little confused on the injector size though, the 850’s were included with MAP’s 500HP kit for the 4g63. I even thought they were going to be too big for the modifications I’ve made and might have some idle trouble. I’ve used a lot of the on-line injector sizing calculators and...

For now I’m leaving my 2.0’s internals stock for the most part, rotating assembly and valvetrain springs, but have added the following upgrades, PTE 5031RE Turbo _ 3” Cat & Muffler less exhaust _ ECM Link 3 _ SBR Header _ Tial 38mm Wastegate _ Turbo XS Recirc Blow off _ 1g TB _ Waboro 225...

Hey, thanks, EVO 3 it is. I was kinda generalizing about the air to water in traffic haven't forgot my thermodynamics..........yet.

Need some information on oil filter adapter housings. I've got a 2g with the production sandwich cooler with no ( that I can see ) inlet and outlet for an external cooler. I believe the 1g filter housing has the ports for an external cooler. What I'd like to do is use the 1g housing on my 2g...

Hi,I'm trying to find the thread specs. Dia. X Pitch of the trans cooler fittings ( at the trans ) for the oil cooler for a '97 automatic. Don't have a metric thread gauge but they look BSP with an 0-ring. Want to go with -6AN, install a larger trans cooler and clean up the engine bay, the...

I used the stroker tech search catagory it'll take a while to digest, I thought I did a good search on the subject before I posted but I didn't search on stroker. I'm a newbie, but an old one, back in the day;Stroker=Longer than production crank throw Destroked= Shorter than production...

Hey, first I’d like to thank everyone for the quick response; It was my first post, I’m a very impressed newbie.:thumb: So to narrow it down per Absit; I want to find a post '1994, pre '2000 FWD with a wide block 64. I'll reasearch but does anyone know what make, and model vehicles might...

Plan on a long rod 4g64 build, read the tons of information on 63's but can't find much about the 64's. Does anyone know where I could get the information on 64's, differences ( if any ), vehicles they came in, most desirable and why.Thanks,
