    Timing cover need advice ASAP

    I need to fix my leaking timing cover tonight if at all possible, but it's too late to pull the harmonic balancer (and I don't have an impact gun here anyways); think I can get it off far enough without taking the balancer off? I'm just gonna use that "Right Stuff" gasket maker made by permatex...

    Question

    Ah, so I lured you into my thread with my purposely vague title . . . So, I'm redoing my intake manifold (exploder, f'd it up the first time a few months back and been living with an oil leak ever since) and I've just discovered that I don't have RTV Black silicone; all I have is the red...

    Tranny problems

    My WC T5 (I bought it off the corral, supposedly it had been rebuilt) started leaking out of the output shaft seal about three weeks after install. I finally fixe it last week (after leaving it parked for several weeks) and it was leaking again within a day. Any ideas?

    T5 whining

    I just installed a "rebuilt" T5 w/ a used Ram HD clutch and short shifter in my car that I bought from someone on the corral; I drove it today for the first time, and while I'm thrilled that I can actually shift now, it sounds like I have a damn supercharger in first and second gear. I took this...

    Clutch quadrant Pawl Removal

    I'm having trouble getting the pawl out; am I supposed to release the spring first somehow? Also, it just doesn't look like there's any room to slide that sucker off . . . and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that my car was converted to a t5 from an auto . . . Anyone with a...

    Strut removal

    OK, I feel like an idiot for posting this, but does anyone have an easy method for removing the nut on top of the strut? I'm fairly sure it'd come right off with an impact gun, but I don't have one, so I bought a large crescent wrench and tried turning it while holding the bolt with a...

    T5 Rebuild quick ?'s

    So I think my synchros are toast, and I have to rebuild my tranny :nonono: . . . hopefully I haven't already damaged any gears; I have a few questions: How long does a t5 rebuild take? I've never done one before . . . Are there any worthwhile upgrades to the tranny I can do while I'm in...

    T-5 problems . . . . or maybe clutch problems . . .

    So my car was grinding pretty bad every time that I tried to shift it quick before, so I just changed the tranny fluid w/ Merc ATF. NOW, it shifts even worse than before; I tried adjusting the clutch, I pull it back but when I push it all the way to the firewall it doesn't click like I read it's...

    It Breathes! It Lives! It Spews!!

    Yeah, I know, you might look at my combo and say "so what?" But this is kind of a big deal for me, I just picked up at least 100 hp (my non-HO was probably making like 150), it's waayyy deeper than I've ever gotten into a motor before, and it didn't some how explode when I fired her up (the cats...

    MAP? BAP???

    So I'm finally getting close to firing my motor (I hope . . . I hope I hope I hope . . .); I've already got the cam in, front accessories on, "upgraded" heads (e7s vs. the e6s that were on it) etc, and I'm working on getting my exploder manifold ready to put on, when I was looking at my MAP...

    Help w/ harmonic balancer

    I'm trying to get my harmonic balancer back on, already broke the tool that I rented after trying to drive it on with the bolt . . . very frustrated . . . wondering if it isn't already all the way on? Doesn't look like it, but I can't remember; the new seal that I put in the timing cover might...

    Cam/Lifter trouble HELP!

    I'm in the middle of an h/c/i swap on my '89 5.0 (w/ transplanted non-HO roller 5.0 motor), everything is disassembled EXCEPT for one lifter (intake on cylinder 6) is stuck; I can get it to move freely in what looks like its normal range, but I can't get it to come out using moderate pressure...

    Cobra IRS

    Anyone have it? I've heard that it can hurt straight-line performance (at least from a standing start), but how much does it help out handling?

    Headers!

    Ok, so I'm in my project balls deep at this point (I didn't just overshoot my budget, I'm now in debt because of my car and it isn't even running again yet!); but it seems to be missing one thing: headers. OK, maybe I need a lot of other things too, but aside from the heads, the only other...

    Suspension question

    Hey guys, I want to lower my car with KYB Gr2s and eibach pro-kit springs; I think I'll need a CC plate, but I saw an ad on eBay for a cheap camber adjuster ($20) that says you can adjust camber +/- 2 degrees with it . . . anyone know if that would be enough?

    eBay woes

    So I ordered an explorer intake from ebay almost 3 weeks ago for full pop ($299 shipped); it looked very clean, and at the time was one of the only Explorer intakes available for a buy-it-now transaction, so I purchased it because I needed one quick because I'm doing a h/c/i swap on my only car...

    Is this Camber kit good enough???

    My stock struts are blown, so I'm going with the KYB GR-2s I found on ebay for like 139 shipped; I also want to get most likely Eibach pro-kit lowering springs or something similar with about a 1.5" drop; I know that you generally need camber adjustment plates when you lower your car, but would...
