jjrock5 GSX 'under construction'

[Nick2gGST]

/Yeah I've read that before, It's tough to tell technically the oil pan doesn't bump IN on mine, it bumps out towards the back of the oil pan from the front of the car..But you can kinda see it in that pic above, I wish there was a different way to tell.

 

[jjrock5]

Yeah, there is, drop your tranny, pressure plate, clutch and have a look.

 

[snowborder714]

You don't really want to look at the bump in the oil pan. That is very deceiving as a lot of oil pans are dented.

You want to look at the flange between the oil pan and the front case, just under the crank sprocket. The flange on a 7 bolt has a dip in that area, seen in the picture below. If that was a 6 bolt, there would be no dip, as it would be straight across.

[jjrock5]

Thanks man. I mean I bought it and immediately parked it. That's motivation enough to get this thing done so I can finally go for a cruise.

 

[jjrock5]

So I didnt get to do anything on the car because I was a lazyass today and was hungover from last night.

But I fugured Id post some vids of the cars that Ive owned. First is a vid taken by the owners that bought my 1.8 Eclipse, yeah I had my ricer days...bahahahaha

[GhostSpooLrTK]

hahahaha "we'll still take you but they're hot"

that woulda been a sweet vid too wth, who races license plates? So if my license plate says 260, would i have won that vanity plate race? silly gangstas :/

 

[Nick2gGST]

I hope that kid could actually take the lambo guys...and wasn't just talkin shit, ### that's annoying .

hahahah. Thats what makes it so funny. Im gonna put a 1,000,000 on my plates and then Ill go fast and beat EVERYBODY.

I hope that kid could actually take the lambo guys...and wasn't just talkin shit, ### that's annoying .

That was my GST we were riding in man. And that was my buddy talking, we probably couldnt beat them but sure is funny. They probably wouldnt have raced anyway because the shiny colors wouldve gotten diiiiiiiirty.

 

[Nick2gGST]

in that case well done. it's funny pissing off people like that.

 

[Dsmj89]

Oh god what anamzing tool of jayracing.. I think i am going to get me one of those and do my own timing belt job.. thanks for that idea jjrock and keep up the good progress.

Thanks man! Yeah Ive done plenty of timing belts in my time but always using the handheld spanner wrench for the pulley and using a vise to compress the tensioner. What a pain in the ass! The 3 piece kit is somewhat pricey but sure is handy.

 

[Nick2gGST]

Hey JJ I know you'll appreciate this, look what i painted the other day, blue engine enamel and flat black plug and timing cover..How's your's coming along?

WOW dude, looks sweeet. Good job.

I am very satisfied with what I got done today. I was able to finish the timing belt job and as well as a lot of clean up while doing it.

In with the new out with the old, new pulleys:

This shows the Jay Racing tool vs. the spanner wrench Ive always used:

One thing that disappointed me was that when I got to finally use me cool new little tool, I gave it a small turn to set the pulley and this happened, not cool:
