Haven't talked in some time. I hate to see you were still having head lifting issues. I hope you get everything worked out.

Re: grinding/rattling on deceleration at 2500 to 2200 rpm

What kind of trans fluid are you running? Mine was making the same noise, I changed the fluid to AMSoil Manual Transmission fluid. It made the trans a lot more quite and shifting was more smooth.

Re: Front Covers Leaking, HG chopped off? :(

I had the same issue. I had to eventually change the head gasket to fix the leak. I tried rtv but it did not work to well for. Hopefully you have better luck.

Re: Green loctite, has anyone used this stuff before?

I work for Trane as a HVAC mechanic, we use loctite 515 at work on chiller rebuilds as a gasket maker. It reacts the same way. Once you assemble the parts the 515 dries. If you leave it exposed it will never dry.

Pretty cool program. Helps get your idea of what you want your car look like in picture. I need to mess with it some more to get it just right but this gives me an idea.

Re: Turbo Oil Pressure Question

How are you draining your oil back to the pan? What kind of fittings are you using? Is it a pretty straight shot to the oil pan or do you have some bends in your drain line?

Re: Fan Wiring for a switch only w/ relay and fuse?

Well since this has worked in the past, and you have not changed anything, the relay and the switch are wired up correctly. Being connected to the battery will give you any problems with blowing fuses. There is one thing that will cause a fuse to blow and that is to much current. This can be caused ...

Re: hersheskuirt's build(issue with idle 9-12-13)

Will do. The clamp has a small bend in it. And it will not seal right. So I will get a new clamp to see if that fixes it or I may just need a new coupler. But once I get it on the road I will text you. I still need to get insurance and tags on it.

Re: hersheskuirt's build(issue with idle 9-12-13)

I did a leak check on the car today and found three leaks. Once I fix the leaks I will fire the car back up and see if that fixes the lean issue with the idle, and allow the car to idle smoother. You can follow the link to see what I am talking about.

Re: stripped KA/5spd swap/break in start issue.

If your Crank Angle Sensor (CAS) is not working, your injectors will not open. The FSM should have infomation on how to diagnose to see if that is your problem.

I had the same issue. Car cranks but no fire(fuel pressure is there, spark is there, and the CAS was working). My car sat longer then a year. Come to find out the fuel injectors were stuck closed. Check to see if you have a signal at your injector plugs. If so then check to see if you injectors are ...

Good to hear that you got it running. I just got mine to run on Sat. It's running, but not drivable yet. Still need to get a couple things before I can take it to the streets.

Congrats though. Can't wait to see what kind of numbers you put down.

Worked on my car today and finally got it to start. I lowered the fuel pressure to 43 psi and reset the timing on the distributor. I think I was one tooth off. One crank and it started, Running rough due to a vacuum leak but it's running. So my problem was nothing more then timing.
