Take care of all maintenance needs first, Timing belt, tensioner pulley's, balance shaft belt, oil pump belt, all hoses and any leaking gaskets. Probably a good idea to get a new Hydraulic tensioner also.
I emailed Sheridan for the same connector not only did he (Brad) have it but he responded within 1 hour at 11pm that night, made the pig tales and harnesses that I needed the next morning and sent them out in less than 10 hours.
Amazing!!!
Thanks Brad!
Well here is an update.
My rebuild got 52 miles before the balance shaft belt took out my Timing Belt! So like I said I get the majority of my parts here on DSMTuners and I needed to buy another engine so thank you to Apachee211 for a Great Engine at a Great Price.
I look forward to putting...
Right now I have the stock one on but one of the lines is crimped. I kind of want to keep a cooler on there if I can find a direct replacement or an oem one.
Thank you for your responce though!
I have a 1990 Talon tsi AWD.
I need to replace the Oil cooler or at least the lines that mount to the front of the radiator.
If not that then I need a new oil cooler and lines to replace them with. Does anyone know of a kit that has everything I need to accomplish this?
Any help would be...
Sorry my Keyboard just threw up.
Anyway...
I do all of the work myself (Except for the Machine shop work) but I have a friend that has a full shop with 2 lifts and 4 bays that I have 24 hour access to, so I have been able to keep costs way down.
I have a few issues though.
First though I would...
Hello,
My name is Eric and I have had a 1990 Talon for about 16 years. 9 of these years she was a lawn ornament.
I have had her back up and running now for about 3 years and have been working on getting her up to speed.
These are the mods done so far:
3 inch exhaust, no cat and a Borla Muffler...
I rebuilt my head recently and was told to make certain that all lifters were empty and squishy when I re-assembled the head or I would end up bending the valves. Not sure what was done here but going forward mine went together and worked. The head needs to be leak tested and the cam gears...
I found a awd tsi tank for my '90 Talon for $75.00. When I opened it up there was a new Walbro 255 in it. I found the tank on car-part.com. Give that a try.
How can you even drive it without any back pressure? I did the same thing but mine drove like crud. I had to take it back and have the rest put on. Unfortunately it will probably cost 3 bills now or 5 later.
I am uncertain if anyone has said it yet but, I have had my 1G for 15 years now. The biggest mistake I made was not getting a tuning system for it before I started mods. I am certain I would have saved a lot of time and money had ECMlink been my first purchase. I know it wasn't available back...
The Pics that I see don't show all of the timing marks. When you install the Balance Shaft belt be certain to line the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket and the balance shaft sprocket. If you have any doubt about the timing on this one, there is a plug on the left side of the engine block...
