    Chevy: Like a Knock

    Thanks for the clarification :) Is this one of those particuarly bad cases where the piston has actually come up out of the cylinder bore? I see the scuff marks on the skirt that you're talking about, but I also see that the top of the piston is very irregular. It's supposed to be smooth...

    Chevy: Like a Knock

    Okay, I've only just started reading about engine internals so I'm going to ask some questions. I hope someone will take pity on me and answer them ;) 1) Piston slap is when the piston comes up out of the cylinder and smacks against the head? This makes a knocking sound? 2) In the first...

    I was going to comment that you might want to look into bigger wheels, but I think those are about right for the engine that's in there :lol: What are your plans?

    Lookin for 300 HP

    I read in the thread linked above that you should figure 20% loss for a manual and 30% loss for an auto. 300rwhp with a 30% loss works out to 428.571 at the flywheel, I rounded up ;) What would you reccomend?

    Lookin for 300 HP

    Figuring 30% power loss from tranny and accessories 300rwhp is around 430 at the flywheel. Is this too much to ask of a street driven 289 running on pump gas? What if you stroked it out to 331 or 347?

    Question regarding routing brake lines- disc conversion

    Isn't that what the little adjustment doo-hickies are for? The ones on the back side of the drum that you spin with a screwdriver (I suck at remembering names of things :D )

    Question regarding routing brake lines- disc conversion

    Here's how my SSBC kit is setup: The line from the larger reservoir in the MC runs to a 3way distribution block, one input and the two outputs go to the passenger and drivers side front brakes. The line off the smaller reservoir goes to the proportioning valve, and the pressure gague is on...

    In the "Quick Links" menu near the top of the page (next to "Search") click on "User Control Panel" then click on "Edit Your Garage" over to the left. Or just click here. You can fill out the form there as to make/model of your car, write some text about it, and upload pictures too.

    Ever been in the middle of a bomb scare ??????

    They always did that at my HS. Every time someone called in a bomb thread they'd set off the fire alarm noise and tromp us all out to the football field. I wasn't the only person who remarked that if anyone ever did want to blow us all up all they'd have to do was bury some remote control...

    Radar Detector Suggestions/Recommendations Needed

    300 bucks is a bargain. You said that your ticket cost you $201, and if your insurance company finds out about it it'll end up costing you a lot more than that in the long run. And a lot of these radar detector companies nowadays will even pay your speeding tickets for you if you should happen...

    Best Looking Mustang (non stock) Pics

    It looks like the grill is completely empty, aside from the pony embelem and whatever is holding it up. Compare that shot to Rent-A-Racer's, they have the same front end. PS, Rent-A-Racer: Is that a real GT350H?

    Radar Detector Suggestions/Recommendations Needed

    A radar detector won't protect you from DWB tickets :notnice: I have two friends who have gotten the Valentine 1, they both rave about it. Although I can say that cops get rather suspicious when your car's nose suddenly dives down as you approach them ;) Both of them have been followed for...

    Rims, Rims, Rims

    I personally don't like the look of 17s on our cars. I perfer the look of a 15 and a nice fat tire, and I've seen 15s for sale up to 8" wide, which I think is plenty unless you're going to be drag racing. I'm currently running 195/60/15 up front and 225/60/15 in the rear. A skinnier tire in...

    Colors... So many options...

    I agree, although for different reasons I think. If I ever have a monster of a car (i.e. in the 10s or better) it's going to be primer. Different colors of primer too, and the interior will be trashed :D Am I the only one who thinks there's just something fundamentally cool about a car...
