    What about the drivetrain?

    Help w/ harmonic balancer

    I would have been just fine if I'd never even tripped on the balancer fit the first time; it's on no different now from the way it was before, and the crank pulley lines right up with the fan/ water pump pulley . . . what a waste of time. Btw it slid right on all the way from the very first...

    Help w/ harmonic balancer

    Well I already put it on, measurement from the oil pan to the balancer was identical to when I measured it with the cover off (and the balancer clearly all the way on, up against the crank sprocket), so hopefully I'm good; I'm about to put the PS head on, I'll mount the alternator bracket after...

    Help w/ harmonic balancer

    OK, So I made a few quick measurements; swapped the new crank pully from the old one, put it on without the cam crank and chain, and distance to the end of the crankshaft was identical (as were the sprockets of course). distance from the oilpan to the balancer was the same with the balancer on...

    Help w/ harmonic balancer

    HAHAHAHAHA!!! Of COURSE it couldn't be that easy; I didn't have the timing cover on all the way, so The balancer is indeed in no further than it was before. The crank sprocket appeared to be correct without taking it off (which of course my lazy ass didn't do); so I'll just have to take it...

    Help w/ harmonic balancer

    As far as using the right tool goes, been there, broke that. After reading someone else's similar troubles (and finding out that they had the wrong sprocket) I decided to take some measurements, and it seemed that the balancer had somewhere around 1/8" further to go. I just took the timing...

    Help w/ harmonic balancer

    I've heard that can damage the damper so I've been reluctant to do that; as far as the RTV goes, I did apply some. I think I'll try heating it up, as the other person suggested. Thanks guys

    Help w/ harmonic balancer

    I'm trying to get my harmonic balancer back on, already broke the tool that I rented after trying to drive it on with the bolt . . . very frustrated . . . wondering if it isn't already all the way on? Doesn't look like it, but I can't remember; the new seal that I put in the timing cover might...

    Need To Build Up a Motor

    My research has mainly been limited to what I can realistically afford, which isn't such a high-dollar motor like what you're talking about building. One thing I am pretty sure about, though, is that you'll need a blower to make that kind of power reliably and (relatively) cheaply; the type of...

    Cam/Lifter trouble HELP!

    OK, so I found some engine assembly lube, got the stuck lifter out w/ wd-40, and got the new cam in . . . I guess I've earned my car, because I've literally got my blood and sweat into it; somehow I sliced open my thumb when I was putting in the cam, so now it has some blood stains on it

    Cobra IRS

    Wow, that sucks . . . . I suppose now the questions is, would I be better off spending all that money on awesome coilovers, panhard bar, etc. etc., or would a built IRS rear-end have more potential? enough to matter on the street as well as the track (track-days are going to be a rare luxury for...

    Cam/Lifter trouble HELP!

    BTW I got some cheap grease at wal-mart, says it has a lithium base, would this be ok to lube up the new cam with for installation?

    Cam/Lifter trouble HELP!

    I'm in the middle of an h/c/i swap on my '89 5.0 (w/ transplanted non-HO roller 5.0 motor), everything is disassembled EXCEPT for one lifter (intake on cylinder 6) is stuck; I can get it to move freely in what looks like its normal range, but I can't get it to come out using moderate pressure...

    Cobra IRS

    Anyone have it? I've heard that it can hurt straight-line performance (at least from a standing start), but how much does it help out handling?
  18. S

    is this a good idea?

    . . . and then you need to upgrade the suspension/brakes to handle all of that extra power, that is if you like being able to stop and turn . . .

    Fox body in high school

    I was another guy that hated all the mustang owners back then in high school . . . while thinking I was the better driver 'cause I drove the piss out of my '97 maxima 5spd on windy roads, and never really cared who was quicker in a straight line, especially after I bought my '01 GSX-R 750 . . ...
