    Winter Storage without Oil or Coolant?

    Ok, I hooked up the pressure tester and applied pressure to the coolant system. After replacing about 5 hose clamps I was able to get the pressure tester to hold 23 PSI (as stated in the FSM).However, upon releasing the pressure and removing the tool, the coolant is still sitting at the level...

    Winter Storage without Oil or Coolant?

    Ok guys, I borrowed a coolant system pressure tester to remove any air bubbles from my coolant system. The tool seems obvious enough, and I see how it would reveal any leaks when used. Also I researched how to use it, but it was as I thought.However, excuse my ignorance, how will I use this to...

    Winter Storage without Oil or Coolant?

    Thanks for the tip on the extra oil, seems like very good advice.Is there anything more I can do to get the proper amount of coolant into the system for the upcoming winter months, given my current situation? I’m just concerned that the block doesn’t have enough coolant in it to keep from...

    Winter Storage without Oil or Coolant?

    Ok, I threw in the oil just to be safe.I also put in a 50/50 mix of antifreeze/coolant. However, it only took a little over a gallon (As I'm sure you guys know, it's supposed to take closer to 2 gallons). As stated before, I can't start the car to circulate the coolant. I'm assuming the car...

    Winter Storage without Oil or Coolant?

    Ok, I put the radiator back in and re-connected oil and coolant lines to turbo. Going to put antifreeze back in, along with oil. Motor is still in the car, and plugs are still in motor, so no I didn’t tip it upside down and drain It completely, haha.I always ran synthetic oil through this car...

    Winter Storage without Oil or Coolant?

    Hi Guys,I currently have a 97 GSX with a rusted out chassis. This past summer I began the process of breaking it down and salvaging what I could from it. I didn't get as far as I would have liked this past summer and plan to pick up where I left off next Summer, ultimately taking the motor...

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    See the pulley beneath/next to my hand? The washer and nut came off that. Is it ok to reuse this washer?

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    Awesome, thank you!one more question, there’s a washer under that nut. I think it may be a crush washer? Is that ok to reuse?

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    Ok, well I got it all apart and there was no Q-Tip in there :banghead:. Oh well, I learned a lot.I got to the point of just needing to pull the crank pulley off and remove the lower timing cover when I found a mysterious q-tip sitting next to my jack on the ground. I assume it had finally...

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    Yeah it looks pretty beat, good advice, thanks.Speaking of the pulley, upon re-installation, does it need to be oriented in a specific way in regard to the BTDC markings on the timing cover? I haven't really been able to find info on this.I wouldn't think so as the crank pulley doesn't...

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    Yeah, I was worried there might have been a little confusion about that part. I have a 6-bolt swapped 2G so my original lower timing cover would have been one piece (I'm not counting the upper cover that covers the cam sprockets), whereas with the 2G revision they made the lower timing cover 2...

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    First off, thanks everyone for the help so far. I wasn't sure I would get so much help for an admittedly stupid mistake and subsequent simple repair procedure.As I'm looking more at the components involved in this, it seems the motor mount is not obstructing me taking the lower timing cover...

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    I didn't attempt taking the timing cover off today because I wasn't satisfied with the torque wrench I would be using upon reassembly so I ordered a better one.I will say, I am deathly afraid of snapping the 4 smaller bolts on the crankcase pulley when I'm taking it off, they look like...

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    Ok, thank you guys, I feel a lot better attempting this now.I'll report back and let you know how it went.

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    Ok, that's what I thought. I didn't think TDC was necessary since I'm not removing any timing components of any kind.As far as the Q-Tip, that much I know, haha.Two more questions:Is it necessary to jack up and support the vehicle on jack stands while doing this job? I.E. while I'm...

    Removing Just Crank Pulley and Timing Cover, is TDC Necessary?

    Hey Guys,So I did something stupid yesterday. I was cleaning up my engine compartment and think I might have accidentally dropped a Q-Tip down behind the timing cover (I know, I know). The middle portion of the timing cover was cut out by the previous owner so there is an opening near the...

    2G Oil Pressure Sender Wire, Which of These Two?

    I think so too, I had a mechanic look the car over and he thought the same as well. He wants to remove the timing cover and inspect the seals and timing components. The only problem is, he doesn't have any openings for a month, so I'm currently looking for somewhere else to go. I know I'm in a...

    2G Trying to Diagnose Oil Leak, Found This Plugged Hose

    Yeah, I was in the process of degreasing the engine when I found this hose. I know there is an oil leak somewhere, at least glad I can rule out this hose.Thanks for the help everyone.

    2G Oil Pressure Sender Wire, Which of These Two?

    I think you're right about the OFH. So like you said, long wire must be sender and the shorter wire must be the dummy light.So with that being said, is this where the dummy light wire goes? Looks like there was a metal connector that has snapped off? I'm referring to the screw with the thread...

    2G Trying to Diagnose Oil Leak, Found This Plugged Hose

    This is the other end of the hose in my engine bay. You nailed it, its the same one as the pic you posted and circled. Is it ok it's plugged off and not doing it's intended purpose?Thanks again for the help

    2G Oil Pressure Sender Wire, Which of These Two?

    Ok, I think you're right, any idea what the other shorter mystery wire connector might go to?

    2G Trying to Diagnose Oil Leak, Found This Plugged Hose

    Yes, there is oil very slowly dripping out of the end of the line after it's been run. It's not dripping now (been parked for about 24 hours). I just cleaned it though, so will monitor it to further confirm.That seems like that could possibly be it, why would they do that? I'm assuming it is...

    2G Oil Pressure Sender Wire, Which of These Two?

    Upon further investigation, one of the two wires coming down is plugged into another harness connector. So it seems the other (shorter) wire is the Oil Pressure wire I'm looking for.Now the question is what is this long wire hanging down connected to another harness?

    2G Trying to Diagnose Oil Leak, Found This Plugged Hose

    Hello,I have a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD with a 6-bolt swap. While doing some cleaning underneath and trying to pinpoint an oil leak, I found this hose coming down out of the Turbo area (as far as I can tell). The most disturbing thing is that it's plugged with a bolt and then the hose is...

    2G Oil Pressure Sender Wire, Which of These Two?

    Hello Guys, I know this question has been asked and answered a million times, and I did extensive searching before posting. However, I need a little more help because I have two possible wires.I recently bought a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD with a 6 bolt swap. Yesterday I was looking into fixing...
