Alright thanks for the advice. It's a fwd, i think there's a 91 at the pick a part in Clarksville. I'm going to look tomorrow.

the transmission on my car is locking up and I'm looking for a manual one to replace it with. Looking for a reasonably priced one, willing to drive to pick up.You can call or text me at 931 338 1703

Does anyone in the clarksville/nashville area have a 6 bolt block for sale? Not looking for a modded one, just stock turbo that i can drop in my car.

Do you have a complete block you would like to sell, I would be willing to make an offer for it.

would you be interested in selling the motor? or even just the block....don't really need a whole car...my car keeps throwing rod bearings.

threw a rod bearing after about 1400 and a rebuilt motor, put new bearings on and it's still knocking...looking for a good block so i can do a swap.

best way to figure out everything is put coolant in till stops taking it and make sure you don't see it leaking out anywhere. Then start it up with the heat of full blast and let it run for a bit. Check the level again and watch the temp gauge. If it over heats with a good coolant level then...

Tried researching but looks like the only place is either a used one from online or a junk yard..

If you have no bent valves but also have no compression it sounds like your piston rings are either not staggered right or they might be blown. The knocking might be a rod bearing, use a mechanics stethoscope and figure out if the knocking is from the top or bottom if you get it running again...

I would keep it and build it up. Talons are really easy to build up with bolt on parts. Good advice for the future though is never buy a dsm that the bov isnt recirculated.. means someone has been doing some bad mods on it.

I haven't had any problems out of my king bearings i put on my car 3k ago.

Also have you pulled the fuel rail and checked to make sure your injectors didn't clog up? Sounds simple but it's happened to 2 people i know and mine. Try clearing it out with carb cleaner and replacing your fuel filter.

if you have access to a power washer that's what my friend used to clean his out. Of course you have to drop the fuel tank to do that though.

I prefer the bpr-7es plugs, but only if your going to be running high boost really. There's a couple discussion forums about plugs, it really comes down to how you tune and drive your car.

it mostly depends on how far you have to go into the rebuild. A small rebuild kit can be purchased for about $400 but it depends if you need new rods, if the cylinder head is in good shape. I rebuilt my motor, a turbo, and it cost me almost $700. Of course i needed new rods, pistons and...

i didn't really see anything in there about the valves. When i swapped my cylinder head out for a n/a one i didn't know that the valves will "melt" or so my machine shop said happened. It only took about 300 miles and i had no compression at all. Had to replace all my valves with turbo...

my friend runs just pipes from the down pipe all the way to the muffler, no problems at all. It's pretty much just a couple pipes welded together.

i would either go to a junk yard and get a new cam, or order a new one.

i would also pull the injectors out and see if they are clogging. My car did the same thing and it was because i had rust in my fuel lines and it was clogging everything up. Try spraying out the injectors and fuel rail with carb cleaner and putting a new fuel filter on.

you can also do a compression test and make sure it's not one of your valves.

I have a 90 eagle talon and live in clarksville. Been threw a lot with this car, rebuilt the entire engine from the block up...ran 1400 miles and threw a rod bearing. Any one in clarksville selling a short block? Just need something with a good bottom end.

The 7 bolt pistons will be too small for the rods to fit in. I had 7 bolt pistons and 6 bolt rods and the rods wouldn't even go into the pistons where you slide the wrist pin threw. I would just keep the bottom all 6 bolt parts. Yes the 7 bolt cylinder head will fit the 6 bolt block, i...

I would make sure you don't see any kind of rewired sensors, or just any really crappy wire jobs anywhere. Had a friend who bought one and not even a week later burned to the ground because the previous owner rewired a 1g c.a.s. onto a 2g......It was missing relays and there where hot wires...

It's really not that hard to drop a new motor in. Just takes time and patients. I've had my motor out 3 times already, once you get the hang of it it's not really hard just annoying.

Don't use an ebay timing belt!!!! They are really bad, had the teeth completely shave off on mine. Didn't know the previous owner had used it until it was too late. I would go with the mach V but i also agree that you should make sure you get a good oil pump. Did a total rebuild by ordering...

Do you have an after market radio? I had this happen on my car once and it was because the dimmer wire was grounding out on some other wires. This cause my dash/running lights to keep going out and many blown fuses.

Yeah, that def looks like someone has done some rewiring in there, not too sure if it's correct because i haven't messed with an awd.

Also, one time when my car wouldn't start it was because my coolant temp sensor came undone. It's on of the ones underneath the thermostat housing. Just something else to check.

I would start by pulling your plug wires out and testing for spark to make sure you are getting spark. Might have soaked your plugs, maybe try putting some new plugs in, not that expensive. Hope this helps.

actually i've only spent about $8 for plugs so far, just happen to have a friend with extra parts just sitting in his garage....but i'm going to try to get a fuel pressure gauge and go from therewell i couldn't afford $75 to rent a fuel pressure gauge but i pulled my fuel rail and cranked it a...

the problem is it doesnt even idle because only one cylinder is firing....but ill check the fuel pressure tomorrow when i get a chance and leave an update.

Ok well, i just went a head a replaced all my spark plugs...i also switched out my coil pack, my mpi relay, the register box and what ever sensor/relay is right below where the coil pack is and still nothing....BUT i have tube headers and i noticed that only my fourth cylinder is hot ( so that...

I would be willing to bet it's the alternator wiring, because i had the same problem with losing power randomly while driving and it was because i had a split in my alternator wiring so it wasn't getting enough back to the battery. I redid the wires and haven't had it do that again. Hope that...

i don't have a fuel pressure gauge.... can i rent one from somewhere? Might be right because it will run really strong when it first fires up but then just kinda starts chugging really bad and died.

ok so i replaced the spark plug and now it will start but it runs like crap then stalls out. I tried advancing the CAS and checking my throttle cable to make sure everything was good, even flipped the CAS thinking it was the wrong way but it didnt make it better or worse...? timing is pretty...

well i pulled the plugs today to spray some starter fluid in there and found that in my fourth cylinder that the washer that goes on the spark plug was all jacked up and was keeping the plug from tightening all the way down (that;s what i get for letting someone else put my plugs in) so im...

I've redone the timing three times to be positive that it's right, also had my friend who has been working on these for about 12 yrs check the timing and says its right...my CAS and my Computer have been tried in my buddies talon and his car fires right up...i can see the injectors fire but i...

I have a 90 eagle talon tsi m/t fwd. I know there's lots of these out there but i have tried so many things to get my car to start. I was driving my car home and all the sudden i lost a lot of power and then it stalled out and now it wont start. I did a couple tests and saw that i had no...
