Hey guys, Chris here.
I bought a 95 gsx automatic about 5yrs ago on ebay, from an auction site that is close to my childhood home. Won it @ ~$750 with the listing of engine issues. Hoped it was the infamous "crankwalk" issue. My dad picked it up for me. Asked what the hell did I buy, because when he loaded it on the trailer, he said it knocked like a mother. I was even more sure that I was right.
So he rebuilt it for me, put a brand new crank and bearings, got it running, put seafoam in it. Told me to hit it hard to burn out the foam. I got on the freeway on ramp, hit it. The acceleration froze, I backed off, hit it again and Boom!! It was not good. When he rebuilt it, he forgot to check the oil pumps integrity. It froze, so we can all assume what the belt did, and then what the cams did to the valves.
He re built it a second time. And now it won't accelerate to dump boost or shift. So I am here hoping to get insight on how to get her running right, and possibly, mod her to get the great HP gain with basically the bolt-on and avoiding constant tune-ups to keep her running right.
She is held up in Azusa CA. Waiting to run.
I live in Hesperia CA.
Thanks for the chance to be a part of the DSM community. Looking forward to talking with you all.
