So does any one know how many little needle bearings are in a roller of one rocker arm?

Yeah that's a good call. I'd rather be safe than sorry. And it is my dd so I want to get it running quick, but I can manage for a few weeks without it. I want to look through everything possible and make sure it's good to go. Like I said in the original post my oil pressure read fine and never...

Yeah I've never seen anything like this before definitely foreign to me also. I actually just looked real quick and I only looked to see if I could find metal pieces. Everything looked fine at a quick glance but like I said I didn't have much time to spend on it I've been working 6 days a week...

Hey guys, not long ago I did my oil pan gasket and oil filter housing gaskets on my car because they were leaking a bit and also switched to full synthetic. I used a gasket with rtv on each one. I ran it for about 2 weeks and noticed the leak seemed worse and a friend recommended I redo the pan...

I just bought a 98 gsx with the 6 bolt swap and a 1g cas, my check engine light comes and goes. And it flashes sometimes also. The guy just put a new clutch in it also. I noticed these questions were asked and I was wondering what differences these could make? It mostly misfires when I'm on the...

Well I have cose to 160k on everything. I was just railing on it the other day and everything finally grenaded. But its ok, I'm going to buy a gsx soon. I've wanted one for a while

Thanks for all the input guys....but I no longer have that problem...I now have the problem of a huge hole in the side of my block and one in my hood where a rod decided to shoot out....so I'm not going to need that extra 4psi any more. My tranny also decided to blow out at the same time plus...

Wes, i agree with you. If it was leaking then when I hook my other bov up it would be fine. But it's not. And I have a glowshift boost gauge that I am going off of. I have 2 different intake pipes, one set up for recir and the other one is not. I currently have the non recir pipe on and tried a...

I just barely put my old bov on and didn't recirc it to see if the bov was the problem, but I could only hit 9psi still. But when I put the other pipe on and recirc it I'll hit 13psi no problem... :confused:

I just don't see why mine is doing it and my friend's worked fine. But I hooked my recir pipe and bov back up to see and I was able to push 13psi again. And when I took it off and put the hks back on its back down to 9. I'll do a boost leak test here pretty soon. If all else fails I'll put my...

How come it would do this on mine and not on my friend's though?

Hey guys! So I have been running a turbo xs bov on my 97 gst and it was recirculated into my intake pipe. I recently put a different intake pipe on and an HKS super sequential bov on so now it is not recirculating. When it was recirculating I was pushing 13psi and now I that it is not I am only...

I've had the same issue lately, but I'm not leaking any fluid at all and my reservoir is full. I replaced the slave cylinder and bled the lines recently and it fixed the problem for a little while, and now it has showed up again. But if i pump my clutch pedal a few times, it glides into gear...

This is exactly how I feel about mine. I have always wanted an evo and I am about to be in a position to buy one, but I've grown to love my dsm so much! I don't think I could sell it now

Leon, how about I fly out to Hawaii and rent a car and I'll race your "JDM" 420a for pinks? And WHEN i win, you can pay for my plane ticket home and for the car to be shipped out! Sound good?Don't try to bullsh*t people on a DSM forum! A lot of the guys on here know everything there is to know...

hey how hard was the all wheel drive swap for you guys? I've heard it can be a real pain if you don't know what you're doing. And how much did it cost for all the parts to do it? I've been interested in doing an awd swap on my gst since the first day i brought it home :)

Hey I have the stock t25 turbo that came off of a 2g gst. I don't know how many miles it had on it, i got the turbo from a friend but it is in full working condition and doesn't have any problems at all. Would you be willing to make a trade?

Yeah i just figure that this is my daily driver and i would be screwed if i blew it up. I'm saving up for a new engine that i can have off to the side to either build or have as a backup if I blow this one up! haha

Hey man did you ever get those rims painted? I'd love to see a pic of them!

hey guys! i've been real busy with school and work, but i finally got the chance to put in the new pipe and hook up the recirc bov and it runs better than it ever has with no bogging and no extra spring tensioning! i love the way it sounds too. sometime down the road when i have a little more...

ok cool. yeah the guy i bought my car from showed me this way to compress the spring in my bov more so that it doesn't bog down after it blows off. but i'm thinking i'll hook it up. i just have this extra pipe sitting in my garage that is designed for a recirc bov. i'll probably throw it on...

cool thanks for the advice. im going to check into the mechanical condition of it a little more in depth. and if it all checks out then i might do a few small upgrades. but im not going to feel 100% safe until i have either a new engine or i rebuild this one. thanks guys

thanks for the feedback! i actually used semi gloss high temp engine block paint! i know it seems a little far out there, but it's VERY durable! And as far as coats go, I put down 2 coats of primer, and then 3 coats of the semi gloss paint, and then 2 clear coats on it. and when i got the car...

I have a recirculating bov on my 97 gs-t but i dont have it hooked up into my intake pipe. ive heard different things about it. ive heard from some people that it wont make a very big difference if i hook it up, but i've also heard that it will make a huge difference if i hook it up. any...

hey guys. i have a 97 gs-t and i have 153k on the engine and chassis. I'm so afraid to do anything performance wise on it because of the high miles on the stock engine. i currently have a short tam intake, a 3' catback exhaust, and an aftermarket bov. but that's all. and its just not enough...

Hey guys! i bought a 97 eclipse gs-t not too long ago and it has some really nice rims on it. but the paint was all chipped up. so i sanded them down and repainted them. [/ATTACH][/ATTACH] let me know what you think! thanks guys!
