Hi all, just looking for potential of what to check next. Have a ka-t with about 6k on it. Just last week I washed it and pulled it back in the garage. The next morning tried to start and just cranked. Upon investigation i have spark, fuel pressure at regulator, 12v at injectors, code 55 all good on...

Hi there

You have the five0 550cc side feed injectors? I am running them and I'm getting 16.5 or so at idle plus my oil smells like gas. I pulled the rail and primed the system but no leaks (o rings are good). How did you test running the injectors for proper operation?

I feel you on the isis thing, I have a lot of isis to cover up. Got so bad they had to change to ISR smh, thanks terrorists.

Ok, my friend has a torque wrench that goes to 175 ft-lb, mine only hits 75. I looked in the FSM last night and it's actually between 105 - 112 ft-lb. I will just fab a quick and dirty holder that bolts onto the pilot bushing.

Your build is great.

Did you impact the stock damper in the past?

How are you guys going about tightening the crank pulley? Isn't the torque requirement around 150 ft-lb, I will have to look at the FSM when I get home. I still have my engine on the stand, I was thinking of fabricating some sort of holding wrench to bolt to bushing on the other end of the crank or ...

No air in the crankcase means no windage loses. Also evacuates more effectively all the blowby gasses and doesn't contaminate the oil. The idea started when it picked up 10rwhp on my all motor itb car years ago. Now its extending the life of the oil in my street car. Interesting, I'm going to have ...

That wheelie plug....man...**** is bananas What is the benefit to the vacuum tank system to the pcv? Shouldn't the crank case still have a need for circulation? (i watch the two videos and i think i understand how the system works) I am trying to figure out what action to take on my pcv valve as I a...

Now correct me if I'm wrong but you have the stock pressure sensor on the end and an aftermarket on the side? Where do you plumb in your feed line?

where did you score the oil feed block?

Let me know if you find another harness like that for that price point, I will hop on it for sure! Great progress with those odds against you!

Sorry not dead on picture, kind of old but it came out good. Didn't wrinkle up as much as the valve cover, I don't think I was a liberal with the coating as I should have been.

Hardcore DIYer is definitely the term for you Adam, you make me look like a lazy person =P. I might have to trailer my build up to KY so you can impart some knowledge on me.

I like your custom piping configuration. Is your pcv connected to that catch can on the front of the motor?

Thank you sir.

Nice work, I used the same wrinkle for my intake manifold + valve cover. I'm at the point to where I need someone with a welder to weld the oil return bung on my pan so I can get my engine back in the bay!

It appears that the original image is broken, am I the only one with this issue?

Hey guys,

Just throwing it out there to see if anyone has good experience with a local shop in Savannah GA for some light automotive welding work.

Thanks,
Josh

You are correct sir thanks, I ordered a 3AN feed line from Treadstone. Now on to getting a feed block from the filter location.

I'm not sure what kind of look you are going for with your S14, but have you looked into stripping some weight off of it if you haven't already? Always a good one if you don't want to throw more money at the car. When I was broke in college I was just searching for things to come off my S13.

For anyone interested, I found something I'm going to order.

Did you ever figure this one out im in the same boat, probably just about to call isis(isr) on the issue.

Anyone have a working link for a little more cost effect feed block like #1 on OP's list?

I am the only one that cannot see any of the pictures on the first page original post?

So is the take away use a hardline for peace of mind? I am getting ready to price out this part of my build so very curious.

Diggin the exhaust note

Update for anyone interested, after removing the lower cover last night I decided to give it a go and try to just unbolt the upper. Good thing I did because it came right off, no binding on the idler gear teeth. Tomorrow night I'm going to try and heat it up now that its off the engine to see if I c...

Im guessing the only thing i will be able to get in there is a dremel. Going to have to try and mask as much as i can to try and not get chips in my new timing chains etc. hopefully i can get it out with no cutting once i get the lower cover off tonight. Ill see if i can take some pictures and post ...

No just the block was skim cut at the machine shop. I went over there to fit up the new lower cover and the surfaces were about flush, we swept an indicator on them and only a few thousandths difference... The head we rebuilt but not remachined, the bottom surface appeared very smooth to me when i g...

Thanks for the suggestion adam. Thinking about it again this morning the upper timing chain cover was a little difficult to line up, my guess is the cometic multi layer head gasket being so thick. Maybe this misalignment caused the housing to bind up the distributor
