So i attempted to rebuild my fwd 96 but it is leaking out of the oil sensor and i am not sure why or how to repair it. I had the crank polished and new main bearings oversized. I should be able to run with more pressure i guess is the problem. It seems to be flowing oil through properly. Is...

second time this leak has occurred. I have a polished crank and cleaned block with over sized bearings. It seems that maybe oil flow through the engine is being impeded or not flowing right? I replaced the rear main seal which was beyond my abilities as a novice. there were minor holes in...

I am documenting my 420a rebuild in the sacramento area forum. I have a question that I would like to expose to everyone. I have installed up to the cams and as I was installing the clutch i was rotating the crank and pistons and it would rotate only to the same spot almost and seem to catch...

I have my engine out but I remember there being a distinct difference in the engine sound and power at one point.Does the computer switch to sequential timing at 2500 rpm possibly or in any other way change anything in the engine management and what factors are monitoredby the ecu to cause...

A transmission shop told me he could not replace the odometer speedometer sensor becuase he did not think it was broken and then when i got him to try it was behind the gears or something.Before I take it to another shop I picked up a gauge cluster as recommended by the transmission guy so...
