Long story short, I dropped a valve and it killed one of my pistons. Salvaging the build I want to reuse as much as possible. I ordered a new mahle piston to replace the one that died. The new piston has a thicker wrist pin 22mm I believe. The old one looks to be 21mm. So my rods accept a 21...

Hello All, just moved out to Zebulon, NC from Indiana. Just saying hello. Hit me up anytime if you need help with something. I have worked with ECMlink some and rebuilt an engine or two in the past.

Bought a New Focus ST2. Holy lagless power. Doesn't even feel like it has a turbo. Anyone else have one?

Ok so I have had a rattle on my 90gsx forever and decided to fix it finally, the rear driver side brake caliper piston had seized up so I bought a new caliper assembly and put it on. I couldnt get it to bleed because I wasn't getting fluid. So i took off the rubber lines and i could blow...

I've just rebuilt my 6 bolt and im having a problem with the car idling after load. What I mean by that is when i move the car and then disengage for a stop sign or something of that sort. The rpms bounce slightly and then die. Car idles fine when sitting at 750, this only happens after load...

What brand would you suggest? Has anyone used aftermarket ones such as ferrea or supertech? They seem to be a good bit cheaper, around $25 for a set compared to the $4.77 mitsubishi wants for each which makes close to $80 for the set. All input appreciated and yes i've tried searching. And i...

Ok, i messed up by letting my stepdad take apart part of the timing so i could get to the waterpump and i hadnt had time to work on the car and now i can't find the size of the bolts that are supposed to go into the automatic tensioner into the block. Could someone please help me or post up the...

I just changed the timing from -20tdc to -5tdc as mentioned in the manual, i just bought this car a month ago. Anyways car used to boost fine but after I corrected the timing the car feels like it has no power but it boosts great. I didn't do the paperclip thing because i didn't think it...
