Say something about the person above you. Pt II

[Bud92gsx]

Should know I've had 1g bov's hold 20psi not modded..

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

should know I have a 1G BOV for my car.

 

[Alan11]

Knows I knew corey, but if you like one you like both

 

[daplatano91]

Should know I'm trying to figure out why a 2g auto doesn't shift until the throttle is fully lifted.

 

[Dhan]

Is saying that the car hits the rev limiter (and won't shift) until you let off the accelerator pedal?

 

[daplatano91]

Reminded me that the car doesn't even fully rev out. I'm fixing a hela-ton of boost leaks for the guy and the car starts to over boost and fuel cut around 4.5k. And is correct the car won't shift until the accelerator pedal is lift then it clunks itself into gear

 

[Alan11]

Probably has a bad tcu. Or bad selenoids.

 

[Dhan]

Should know that a similar issue arose on a '58 Ford that a friend of my dad's had. It was an auto and wouldn't shift until he let off the gas. It ended up being a major vac leak to the trans.

Obviously DSMs don't have a vac actuated trans, so I would think there is an issue with the speed sensor, because doesn't the ecu read off of that? But you say it clunks into gear, as in shifts really hard?

Maybe there's two problems.

 

[daplatano91]

should know i think he just solved the problem. I completely forgot 2gs have a electronic vss. Also the vehicle in question the speedo doesn't work.

 

[EDM95]

Knows I'm trying to read this on my phone. Dam it I won't have the interwebz until tuesday again.

 

[daplatano91]

Knows its awful when interwebs boost fluid solenoids go out for multiple days

 

[dsmrebel084]

Knows that it sucks

 

[EDM95]

Forgot to check the blinker fluid too.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Check, knows mine is full.

 

[EDM95]

Needs to atleast get some headers or something.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I had planned to replace the bushings all around and tie rods, but have been plagued recently with the leaky HG. I'll save the fun stuff for a later time.

 

[EDM95]

Good luck trying to replace that hd gasket its a pita.

 

[daplatano91]

Knows head gaskets are fairly easy depending if the bolts for the intake manifold brackets are not seized. When they are it becomes a pita to get the head off

 

[EDM95]

Should know a 420a is not very easy to work on.

 

[daplatano91]

Should know i forgot he was running the bastard motor j/kin But honestly I wasn't aware that it was that much harder to remove the head.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I do basic repairs, but I'm looking at my options. I may have some help, but it could be a few months.

Also should know I would like to get the money together for a rebuilt longblock, FTW.

 

[EDM95]

Should know you have to take off a ton of parts to pull the 420a head even the motor mount.

 

[Bubbs Malone]

Knows I have a way of justifying the longblock option:

-A new car will cost about $400-$500... a month in car payments over 5 years.
-Spending 4K for a longblock (including install) will cost about $67 a month over 5 years

I know it's not that simple, but hey, it's a thought.

 

[Dhan]

Should know to do a HG on a 4g63 it isn't much harder than a 420a

Just to give you an idea. The top photo has the head off, motor mounts, exhaust, intake, alternator, t-belt, etc. Basically all ready to slap down the new HG.
The second photo has a similar car all buttoned up. If I can do it in a gravel driveway, you can definitely do it
