    T5

    Hi, I suggest you find out what class this T5 belongs to. You don't won't to spend money on an inherently weak T5 version. As far as the "play" goes, is it lateral or perpendicular to the case? Check the rear bearing and it's retainer. Could be the "retainer" is held in-positon by the tail...

    Hi, First, if you don't yet have a manual, buy one. It sounds like you'll be needing it for identification purposes. The starter is located on the lower right corner of the engine. Tapping, is an old tip to shake loose a stuck armature or sticking bendix drive. You may have a bad starter...

    Powdercoating the stainless trim around windows

    Hi Regarding the re-fitment after coating there, most likely, will be some cleanup involved. Trim tabs will need cleaning to get a proper "lay". I too agree, only the top surface be coated. I had my intake coated, while a nice job, I had to draw-file the intake mating surfaces. I love this...

    Yeah, that last comment although true, may or may not apply. For what this is worth, I'm running a 1" MC with a 10 lb residual screwed into the rear distribution block. After which, the rear brake line screws into it. After inserting this, I simply re-bleed the rear brakes. First the right rear...
