Let me get some time to wrap my head around this. I did quite a bit of stuff to my car, but I have to get in the mindset. Gotta get right hah

I got those lower extended mounts too. You can oblong the bottom hole a little more if you'd like. It's almost the same as adding a smaller diameter bolt in that top hole. But don't do both, I personally don't recommend it, but that's just me. One or the other. My $.02

I like going to the local auto parts store and buying parts to fix my car that same day

Glad to hear that PayPal is finally looking at these disputes. Back in the day, you could just say you didn't get what you paid for, or say you didn't receive it, and they would totally screw over the seller immediately with no questions asked. I need to add that disclaimer to all my transactions fr...

I cheated and pulled the 2nd plug from the filter adapter on the block, then tapped it to NPT threads. But the motor was out.

If I ever did it again, it's a sandwich adapter. Didn't have them back in my day lol

You need to get someone with a Nistune ECU, and tune it in real time. Then take that tune for your car, and burn your chips with that tune and put your ECU back in. That's all I can offer. I went around and around for like 3 years with burning chips and now that I have Nistune, I can't ask for anyth...

OP, sent you a PM back. Sorry I've not been on that much as of lately. As always, there are exceptions or special situations where the 'norm' isn't applicable. Sometimes you are ok with std aftermarket bearings on a good crank. Other times, it's a little too far out. Or we can even blame the bearing...

There are little freeze-plug looking jobby's in the head. I can't judge how small that is by the picture. Need a penny or a quarter for reference.

And the broken ring, I have no idea. Gotta ponder about that one.

I did redrill the gears, but it took like 11 or 12 tries I think. It wasn't worth the time and effort. Having to reinstall everything and degree crap. Try just checking the shim clearance. I don't see why you're locking up the motor by not changing shims. Tons of people have just tossed in cams and ...

I can't really help, but I can give some insight.
I was well over 6k RPM's with a J30 diff and my GPS said 154 MPH.

3.90 gearing I think, correct me if I'm wrong. As compared to 4.08 stock gears.

This all of course happened on a closed course

My computer flagged it as an unsafe site and I can't see anything.

Sucks to hear. Is the block cracked under the knock sensor? It looks like that, I am on my phone so not sure. No, it's not cracked. It's the plastic that melted and dripped down the block. The block is in good shape, checked and rechecked. It's the head that is turned into a horseshoe. Not that bad...

Got everything torn down, and it looks like just the head is warped a bit. Just needs cut and a new gasket and should be good to reassemble. But I still want to get rid of it. If anyone wants the whole car, shoot me a PM. I really don't want to part it out, I don't have the time or energy. I'm askin...

This would be an awesome option if it were externally gated. I know when I hacked up my cheapo ebay manifold and put an external gate on it, my 3076R in a T2 rocked my KA. It was like driving a V-8 with instant spool and high end flow. Lots of neat stuff coming about for the KA now. I'm happy there ...

HKS v3 BOV (vented to atmosphere) ^ that's your problem I think. It might be holding open at idle too much. I don't know if it can be adjusted or not, I'm not familiar with them. But it's good practice to recirculate them. They typically go crazy rich, not lean if I'm not mistaken... But that's my ...

I'm going with maybe a cracked weld somewhere on something? I bet it's something that's loose! lol That's all I got. I know I had a weird rattle/buzz like that when I didn't bolt the bottom part of the spacer that goes between the motor and the trans. That thing gave me hell for a while until I figu...

Yeah I did have a few issues with the Blaster SS coil on my twin cam. I left it hooked up to stock wiring and it really didn't make that much of a difference. I think I actually had to close up the gap on my plugs if i remember correctly. I ran a 12ga wire to her with a good relay and it really help...

I think some other guys down in Tampa took over. I'll have to dig around and see what I can find. I know I only live an hour away, and had a hard time communicating with them about taking my car down there for a tune.

I personally made a block off for that bottom port that used to go to the PCV and tapped a nipple to run to a catch can. Free'd up some space on that side of the motor. But I have both parts if you want me to see about shipping them over to you. Just PM me your address and I'll check postage next ti...

Welcome to the site! Always cool to see someone close by.

Lots of stuff on here. I joined and didn't post until after about 2 years of reading.

But lots of helpful people here. If you ever get stumped, I'm sure there is someone that will point you in the right direction!

I can drive down there and beat on their door ^_^

Let me know what you find out

I don't think we have that much traffic right now for this to bog down the server. So I say go for it. Worst case is it doesn't work and it can be removed, right?
I've not been on in quite some time, so I don't have a clue on what's been going on.

Sweet! Glad you got around to doing this. Should be able to keep them competitively priced.

If you're worried about the amount taken off just counter it with a thicker head gasket. This, its what I did with mine. I'm running a 1.8mm Cometic iirc ^ Hells yeah, I've been running massively thick gaskets for a few years. I like low compression! It just sucks sometimes because they have to mak...

All the cool stuff I miss when I leave for a few weeks!

I have a spare block, Z32 trans, and an auto bellhousing. I should see what I can do to get this in my car....

Check where the consult plugs into the factory connector. Sometimes those things are a bit crappy. I had to mess with mine for a while to get a constant connection.
Now I'm not sure if the lights are supposed to come on if the USB is powered up or not, and not plugged in. I'd have to go check.

Not sure on those wheels, but some aluminum wheels have like a 'seat' that is knurled pressed into the wheel for the lug nuts so you don't tighten them and squish the aluminum. Maybe someone took those out? Does it look like something was in there at one point? Hard to tell by the pics. Anyways, tha...

Entertaining offers on parting out this car. Or as a whole. Gotta get a thread together with parts and prices.

Talk to Ruben there, he's a good guy and will hook it up if you get a few things at a time.

No experience with the Sealed Power stuff.

My first chain kit was the OSK kit and the pad on the upper tensioner fell off and the piston was pressing into my upper chain. Lots of metal everywhere.....
