    I give up, I cant get that stock H pipe off.

    Are you using a wrench on the top of the bolt while you try to spin that nut off? If you can try to get someone down there with you, one to start turning the wrench and the other to use the ratchet on the nut, that's how I usually break it (although I've gotten pretty good at it and can turn...

    6 bolt crankshaft

    Can I use the 6 bolt GT crankshaft in a 99 GT windsor block? The original crank had 8 bolts and thought I saw somewhere that those crankshafts (the 6 bolt) only fit in the romeo blocks, is that true?

    power steering going?

    i put the car up on jack stands yesterday and visually inspected and I don't recall noticing anything that would be interfering with the shaft. If it is the steering rack wouldn't I be able to feel it even with the car turned off (no power steering) ? Also while I had it up on jack stands...

    power steering going?

    I did some searching and it seems like when the power steering pump starts to die it starts to make all kinds of groaning noises. My pump is pretty quiet no more noisy than usual but this morning my steering started feeling strange if I leave the steering wheel centered(foward) and try to...

    Vibration around 1400 rpms

    finally fixed that vibration..... Right before I replaced the flywheel, my front brakes needed to be replaced one of the pads scored my rotor and pepboys wouldn't cut the rotor because they said it was under spec. I bought a cheap rotor to hold me over until I did my next brake change which...

    valve tap?

    okay so I took the car to a mechanic to check it out, he says he's 95% sure it's a sticky lifter or maybe the timing chain (probably unlikely). sooooo after blowing up an engine once, and hurting this one I plan on doing a rebuild so I don't have to worry about wether I have a car this week...

    valve tap?

    gotcha i'll check it out, I'm gonna change the oil this weekend and pray for no metal bits, after that I'm gonna do as you suggested and see if I can find which side the tap is coming from, then start tearing into it. Once I pull off the valve covers do you guys have any tips on things I should...

    valve tap?

    did your tap go away when the engine warmed up? See I know what a spun bearing sounds like, this this sound is similar but the only difference is that this tap goes away with the engine warmed up and I only hear it at idle. The "death rattle" is something that gets worse over time? I just...
