    Grinding noise on acceleration

    Hard to diagnose noises like that without hearing it in person. Are you sure it's not coming from the rear axle area?

    Engine SN95 valve covers - stud mounted rockers

    Well I even tried fox covers with baffle removed and bosses ground down as much as I could but still no go. I had the height but the bosses were contacting the rockers. They did seem to clear the alternator by literally a hair. As stated I used stamped steel covers. Dirt cheap and plenty of...

    Hey whats up! More 2.3 power needed

    I know of a 87 turbocoupe in a junkyard over in south Jersey. It looked pretty much complete, it even had the original top mount on intercooler. Probably still has the puter. It's a super easy swap, add a map sensor, repin a few wires and add a couple wires and you're in business with over 200...

    Engine Running stock plugs in my aluminum heads

    So my car runs so much better with the correct ( longer spark plugs) I just assumed that the aluminum heads would use the same as the stock heads do. After two years of pulling my hair out it finally dawned on me I was running the wrong plugs.

    Engine SN95 valve covers - stud mounted rockers

    It's a speed master. Copy of an Edelbrock. No spacer. I run a trick flow elbow for my 95 gt. It has provisions for the egr. No issue with clearing the alternator.

    Engine SN95 valve covers - stud mounted rockers

    No way no how would the stock valve covers clear my roller rockers. I even tried fox body covers and they wouldn't clear. I'm running pro comp heads. I ended up using cheap stamped steel covers but they work fine.

    Drivetrain swapping gears in my8.8

    That rotunda set is expensive. Just hog out the old pinion bearings to use for setup and use marking compound. On final assembly be advised the crush sleeve takes around 400 ft pounds to crush. You'll also need an inch pound torque wrench. Not a super hard job but without the rotunda tool it's...

    Fox Carlysle Pa spring swap meet

    Anyone think I can source some E7 heads at the meet. I've never been there but the site says there's like 14 miles of vendors I'm just not sure about finding cast iron heads in this day and age. I threw out 2 sets a couple years ago. One set was 3 bar gt40s. Rats!!

    Engine Running stock plugs in my aluminum heads

    There are no codes whatsoever. Actually I just checked and it's idling around 750-800 . So in the absence of codes what else do you think I should check? I've already swapped out the maf with no change and verified correct tps voltage. Timing is 12*. It never stalled idling in my driveway just...

    Engine Running stock plugs in my aluminum heads

    I've got the idle set around 950 . It's into closed loop within 20 seconds so I doubt it's something surrounding that.. It doesn't trigger a lean code but without a wideband I've no way to tell if it's running lean other than looking at the spark plugs. In the carbureted days you could put your...

    Engine Running stock plugs in my aluminum heads

    Yes I understand but since it idles good until it gets to operating temp.im still thinking something else is wrong. As stated once it gets up over 180* or so it starts idling rough. Im gonna smoke test it once it's warmed up and see if I can see any smoke getting into the crank case. I think...

    Engine Running stock plugs in my aluminum heads

    No you may have misunderstood me I was saying that I put a plug in the throttle body and I also blocked off the brake booster line. It's been a while since I pulled that vacuum reading so I'll have to recheck it and see if the needle is jumping I think I remember it was jumping slightly. If I...
