    Prostop Ceramic front brake pads, did I make a mistake?

    Oh so you did what's referd to as a "pad slap" a grave NO NO, you always have them specked and if within specs turn them. If they're out of spec replace them, your brakes will not break in properly and you'll get that really annoying squeel in a few thousand miles. I too run the duralast...

    Loud Tick/Knock after Intake Replacement

    ok ok ill say it a different way, when your chain had slack in it, you had ptv issues. thats what caused the engine to start the noise. now youve fixed the timing chain isuue you have other issues. ie bent valve, cracked piston, etc.

    Loud Tick/Knock after Intake Replacement

    compression tests can mislead, the real way to find ptv damage is vacuum leak down. i find it hard to see the tensioner failing, there is a fail safe mechanism made on them so they dont leak donw. im doubting the skills of your mech, but i would replace chains, guides, tensioners, and gears. the...

    Loud Tick/Knock after Intake Replacement

    its not the tensioner itself, its due to the tensioner being worn so much the engine is out of time. thus causing the ptv issue and reason your hearing the noise in #4 cylender location is because thats the piston thats slapping a valve

    How to remove window glass?

    also the parts store will have them, napa or carquest is the best place for the rivots. a body shop will usually have the rivot gun. as they are quite expensive, maybe one will be polite enough for you to use.

    How to remove window glass?

    the black round peice is a at the back of the rail is a rivet, youll need to drill it out and dislocate the rail from the tab on the glass (leaving the tab on the glass). im an autoglass tech for over 14yrs now so trust me it sucks. youll need to get replacement rivots and the really big rivot...

    Dorman Intake Manifold

    the extra power and torque are not from the port shape and size of the pi intake, it comes from the longer intake runners. its all in the velocity of the runners that makes the difference. the h/c/i combo make the most power but cams and intake alone are well worth the chedder for extra power...

    swap issues??

    just replied to your pm you definitly need to swap oil pans, the cv will interfere with the cross member. also the drvers head will have a coolant temp sensor in it, this is what i used when plugged the temp sensor in, not having to "get a new intake". +1 on NEW engine mounts. als STAY away from...
