As she sits now, needs a paint job, but engine always comes first

Wouldn't the link for the 1g guys be relevent to your needs?

This weekend, I will be getting my car towed to my girlfriend's dad's house where I will continue work on it. It will be closer to me, and I will actually start to disassemble it and once I get my head gasket, I will do it all over again. I will time it right and also do a compression test, and...

Well if it's the head gasket that would explain it. I was naive and reused the original head gasket. I have a new one coming soon. Fel-pro. I will most definitely check the cylinders when I get a chance to. Thanks for all of your input guys, and and all help is appreciated.

I've read a lot on timing, including vfaq, and I don't know why I'm always off one tooth. I'll keep reading, I just wish there was someone in the area that could help me through the first time. I learn better hands on than reading off of forums, as do a lot of people.None taken. I was 16...

Yeah, I thought the timing was off, but I didn't think it was way off. The cam's showed the exhaust was advanced one tooth, while everything else was spot on. I haven't cranked it since that day. I'm in Naperville, and the car is at my mom's in westmont, so that's the other issue, actually...

Hey guys, I haven't been able to work on my car in ages, I haven't had the time to. I've had this car for about 3 years. I'm trying to relearn everything I've forgotten. I have a video of my car from two October's ago (2010) This is the last I was able to work on my car, back when I was in high...

well sorry I posted this on three sites and so far this is the only sight were someone gave me shit. I said in the title possible crank walk. When I bought the car the t-belt was snapped by the previous owner and the crank sensor was shit, isn't it crankwalk that can break the sensor? and yes...

So I've had my car for about 2 years now, it's been a long time project car. I bought the car to work on the side, and eventually get running one of these days. Well the day has come that after the car has been sitting for almost 3 years it actually started. I bought a new crank sensor and cam...

Yes I would as long as I have a visual guide I would be fine.

This picture is taking a picture of the intake camshaft on the far end not by the gear the oppisite side. If that helps at all.

So what you guys are telling me is that this head is from a 97-99? But I own a 1995. The CAS I took a picture of, is the one that was on my original head. There was something connecting to it before, I just don't know where to look. Engine is a 7 bolt, and I'm not familiar with wiring and...

Cannot find the connector that goes to this. It is really the only thing that is holding me back from starting my car. At first I thought it might have been the CAS but this car is a 1995 eagle talon tsi. The head is not the original head from my car, but it is a 2g head. posted in another...
