can that cause a cooling issue? engine wise...it did with mine.

good idea to freeze them maybe?

i got some main stud dowel pins for my block. they fit perfectly into the cap side but the dont go in the block side. any suggestions?

ok so im having some trouble. i have an evo 3 block that im rebuilding and about to put my new crank in. trouble is the top half of the thrust bearing on the block side wont go in. not even the old one will fit smoothly. the cap side went right in with no trouble. is there a special installment...

because of the price honestly...i know its a crappy reply but i need my engine back in 3 weeks and honestly want a stroker...just trying to make the best with what i gotis jackson a good company?

should i get the slowboy 2.3 stroker kit or the ma performance 2.3 stroker? any suggestions?

yeah but theirs extra parts involed that i would have to buy as well isnt there? i guess ill see what i can do financially and time wise...i have 3 weeks from today to finish

yeah i have a 6 bolt bare block and head but if it more work than its worth im not worried about itthanks for that

can you guys tell me what kind of work will be involved in doing a 6 bolt swap from a 7 bolt. and if i should swap heads or keep the 7 bolt head. and if i do swap to a 6 bolt swap what work is involved with that? im kind of debating if i should or not. never had any problems with my 7 bolt...

yes i am planning on getting cams later...either the 264/272 or straight 272/272...i not worried about using the 6 bolt bottom end...the 7 bolt has done extremely good and would rather keep that...i do have e-85 but not planning on doing the conversion because i dont know where its at which isnt...

should i go higher compression or lower? id like to get as fast as i can go on pump gas and im probably not going to do the cams just yet. i saw some cheaper prices for valves and springs from jackson. are they any good?

i just want a fast street/drag car that is going to run on pump gas. as far as budget i need to keep it as cheap as possible without letting go of quality products. maybe around 2-3 grand. i want to do all the internals so i dont have to rip into the motor again for a long time. and ill update...

hey guys. i kind of ran into some bad luck/good luck. i blew up an exhaust valve and a spark plug on my head and ripped the motor out to do a full rebuild. now i was wanting some opinions on how i should go about this. i was going to bore it out and put new pistons and rods and valves and...

no other rubber fittings nothing...just weird

hey i just got a new fuel pump from forced performance 225 pump. now i took the stock one out of the sender and tried to put the new one in but the output nipple of the pump that has the black o-ring that goes in the sender is smaller than the stock one and doesnt have a tight fit. how do i fix...

i adjusted it. if i turn it in anymore the slave wont depress and i did a gravity bleed yesturday and it was pouring out quick and iwaited for about 30 minutes and still had no affect

no the clutch is fine and strong. the only reason why i had this problem is because the master started leaking and i replaced it and that when this started. never had a problem with the clutch itself. it holds strong

hey ive posted on this before but i still have had no results. i changed and adjusted the master correctly. i replaced the slave cylinder and i just put a new stainless steel line straight from the master to the slave and bled it until i saw nothing but fluid. i even bled it at the master and...

ok thanks guys ill let you know what happens. im going to go try it now. the adjustment for the pedal is adjusted right as far as i know...make it tight until you cant depress the slave and then release about half a turn.tried it and didnt work...i just ordered the stainless steel line to put...

i guess ill just keep trying...i went out there just now and turn the car on and i went into gear beautifully. then i turn the car off and back on. as soon as turn it on for the second time it wont go into gear...ill just keep trying and bleed it i guess

hey guys im have a problem with my clutch...i just changed the master and slave cylinder in it and bled everything through and adjusted it. i took the car for a drive and it was fine. then i turn it off and 5 minutes later i turn it on and try again and it wont go into gear again. i adjusted it...

ok thanks guys im going to get right on ityeah so i changed the slave and bled it though again and bled the master again and i took it for a drive and it worked fine...then i started the car after 5 minutes again and it wont go into gear again...does anyone think maybe i got a bad part or...

hey guys i need help again and i need it quick. i just replaced my clutch master cylinder because it was leaking. i bled the lines like 3 times and i adjusted the master cylinder correctly and i did everything by the book...problem is when the car is on it wont go into gear but as soon as i push...

hey guys...i just changed my master and adjusted it and bled the system like 3 times and the car still wont go into gear...i try and the car inches forward but doesnt go into gear...what should i do?

hey im having a problem that just started tonight in a sense. my clutch fluid is leaking through the firewall into the floor board of the driver compartment...this started a while ago but me being dumb didnt do anything about it yet. the problem i had tonight is i took off from a friends house...

is there a slim fan out there that can blow the same or better than the stock fans? i live in phoenix and i could use the extra air flow if possible...if there is a slim fan that is better,,,on what site can i find them on? im trying to get this done before summer hits as well as the 120 degree...

i had a similar problem out here in arizona and it turned out my radiator wasnt getting enough air because of the FMIC...so i got the ETS street intercooler and pretty much fixed the problem...the thing thats weird is that its fine in traffic and hot on highway speeds...should be the opposite.

yes it recirculated but i reset my ecu and it doesnt seem to be running rich anymore...i still have to check but i dont think it is

i just changed my oil and got a new weight oil...i got 10w-40 and at hot idle its been anywhere from 14 to 19 psi but my car seems to idle a bit higher as well...im going to check tomorrow because i have a 50 mile drive so i will let you guys know

weird...i can go all the way to 50 at cold idle...i would think thicker oil would make a higher pressure

yes their stock injectors and all i have is this car to drive...i drive around 100 miles a day...but does seem to run rich when im driving normally...seems like only at idle and when i switch gears

i never had any problems with it...i just thought it was kinda of unusual...and yes still have the balance shaft

hey guys...i know i need a tune but i just want some advice and/or opinions.noticed today when i let my car warm up that my exhaust was smoking just a little bit and i went to see and smell it and it was all gas...i reved the car a bit and i could see fuel coming out of my exhaust. a buddy...

hey guys. just wanted some opinions on my oil pressure...im using 10w-30 btw and going to switch to maybe 20w-40. on a cold start-up at idle i can get anywhere from 30 to 40 psi and when accelerating it can go over 100 psi. now once it warms up i get around 10 psi at idle and at 80 mph at 3500...

thnx alot guys

Hey does anyone know where I can find a new or used rear knuckle for a Gsx...I already checked dsm graveyard and their all out of stock...thnx

how did you leak test it?

im not to sure if my bov is adjusted correctly and i was wondering since its recirculated how are you supposed to adjust it? take the recirculation tube off and adjust? i have a knockoff of the greddy type rs...dont got the cash right now to buy a new bov. also seems kinda hard to tell if its...

yeah i know how to do it...just did the rear differential and transfer case...all i need now is the tranny but that royal purple is expensive but well worth it...i always use royal purple...and its already running smoother...thnx for the info

can anyone tell me how much oil goes in the rear differential...im going to change the oil but i need to know how much it takes. sorry for the dumb question...just want to make sure.

ok so i believe i fixed the problem...the problem was simple...the spring in the MBC was to strong and i needed a weaker spring...went to ace hardware and bought a few springs of a weaker tension and the first one got better but still boosted like around 18 psi...i waiting now for the car to...

i think this turbo is already ported and thats why i didnt do it when i got the turbo...i just cant remember...but lets say it is ported...what then?

i know this has been posted many times before and i read all the threads and tried almost all the suggestions...my problem is i have uncontrolled boost...goes straight to 20 psi+...i have a hallman MBC that routes straight into the cockpit of the car...it used to stop at 16 psi and now its not...

i live in maricopa and have a 97 gsx...trying to get some people together so we can check out each others rides

where did you buy the paint? i want to paint mine a high gloss black

does any one have an extra 2g hood i can buy?

lol i think a lot of us know what that is like

thnx im looking into it right now

im getting ready to paint my car and i was wondering if anyone could indicate me to a good site or store that sells good paint but for a cheaper price...im planning on painting it a high gloss black...ive already primered the car flat black about a year ago...im going to clean it and primer it...

if it was me i would take it back and have them fix it for free...and it also sounds like they didnt charge the a/c properly...i had that same problem with my 3g and turned out to be just the amount of freon was way high...had to have it recharged and worked fine
