    Comp Cams installed, ticking noise, base circle problem?

    Sounds very much like the timing is one tooth off on the pass side. It is very common for the chain to jump 1 tooth on that side and cause a tick. I had to realign the chain 3 times the first time I installed a pair of cams. The tension on the cam on that side will make the chain jump until...

    mobil one synthetics, oil filter intervals?

    I have been changing my synthetic oil once a year with a filter change at 6 months for the past 11 years. Been supercharged for the last 5. No it will not look like molasses, no it will not ruin your engine. I installed ported heads 6 months ago and everything is perfect, the bores are great...

    Plenum to Intake bolts spinning in hole...

    All I can suggest is cut the heads off with a dremmel if you can. Lock the brass incerts in place with thin superglue remove the remainder of the bolts and then reinstall and hope for the best. Dwayne

    How much does being BORED add to cu in?

    Why yes I do. Do you really think that 6ci is going to make any real difference in power output? If you do I have some swamp land to sell you.

    How much does being BORED add to cu in?

    The small amount of extra displacement is no reason to over bore your block. The only reason to bore it is to rebuild it and return it to service. BTW a 302 bored .30 over gives you a 306. Dwayne

    getting worried: burning oil? kinda long

    And to answer your question the no switching bull is just that an old wives tale. I have 90,000 on my 96 supercharged for the past 50k use synthetic changed 1 time a year with a filter change and top off at 6 months. I burn maybe 2 qts in a year including the 1/2 qt used to replace what I lose...

    Anybody know what this thing is?

    It is not usless dead weight as some suggest. It is tuned to the drive shaft critical frequency and not the gear ratio installed. If you install shorter gears that means that you will reach that critical frequency at a lower road speed. By all means remove it if you want to but keep...

    The stock oil is synthetic and need not be changed for 100,000 miles. Unless you have to open the diff for maintenance I would leave it alone. Dwayne

    OIL CAPACITY QUESTION?

    There is no argument. My 96 takes 6qts. Bottom line, if you install 5qts and it is short you have to add more till it is full. Dwayne

    Shifter trans fill??

    put in the recomended amount of fluid, I think it is 4 qts but you should remove the fill plug and fill untill it just dribbles out. If you fill it up you will have one hell of a mess on your hands and probably blow the trans up. Dwayne

    MIL after radiator flush

    The coolant sesor may be unplugged, or the float may be stuck, look in the tank and if you can't see the float put a piece of bent wire in there to unstick it from the bottom of the tank. Dwayne

    Ideas to save gas (other than taking your foot out of it)

    If you drive a lot of highway miles up your tire pressure 4psi from recommended pressure, not the pressure on the sidewall of the tire but the pressure in the glove box. Keep your car in tune, filter/maf clean, injector cleaner every 3000 miles, synthetic oil, airconditioning on mimimum to get...
