    Sugar/coke in gas tank will damage engine. Fact or Myth?

    Dead lifter probably caused the arm to jack up. Did it break the rocker?? It's hard to see where the rocker would be able to take and hold open the valve long enough for it to hit the piston without being taken out itself, let alone come off the valve stem. I had a bad lifter once and as soon...

    99 4.6 in a 97gt

    And this is safer than compressesd air how??? Heat is one of the top killers of electronic parts. Even at low heat, I would never put my ECU in the OVEN. :nonono:

    Crappy Looking Headlights

    If polish doesn't work then take 1500 grit sandpaper rub them out REALLY well, then polish them out. Works just fine.

    Anyone know of any at home tweaks??

    You don't cap it off completely.... It's a pipe cap with a hole drilled in it, like 5/16 or something, I forgot. You install it in the hose then put the hose back on. This restricts the air that the IAC valve lets in when you let off the throttle therefore bringing the RPMs down quicker. The...

    It's alive!!

    Yeah, I had the cams and intake before. I checked the plug. The insulator was dark brown (from what I could see in my headlights) and it was pretty dirty, it didn't look oily as far as being wet is concerned.. It's a brand new plug. I took some fine grit sand paper and cleaned it up an it's...

    Threw out a rocker arm....

    well, technially there isn't a "rocker arm", however I have and know people who do as well refer to the follower/ lifter as a rocker arm. They also call the lash adjuster a lifter. . .errrrr

    Miss on cyl. #8

    Well I fixed my exhaust leak and tried to chase down a missfire. I ran through and disconnected the injectors one at a time looking for a change in the idle. Pulled # 8 and no change. I felt the injector while plugging it back in and felt it start working again, so I moved on to spark. Pulled...

    Car starts without the chip, but with chip in, antitheft comes on and won't start

    O/R H is hardly restrictive, even compared to an X pipe. It will definately give you enough rumble.

    Threw out a rocker arm....

    The oil supply to a lash adjuster may have become clogged allowing it to bleed down or the rocker could have just given up the ghost. However, I just don't see this happening. Last time I had rockers fall off is when I had PTV contact. . .but that was 4 valves at once and they didn't just fall...

    Gear swap problem!

    All you need is just a flat surface from the old shim to get a good measurement. I think my stock one was a .028. You can use the .012 and .016 shims out of the kit to get where you need to be. But just make sure you check the thickness of the old shim if possible, it's hard to see.002 with the...

    It's alive!!

    Are you talking about the EGR connection at the exhaust manifold(pipe to manifold) or up on the plenum(valve-plenum)???

    Gear swap problem!

    Hey man. I've done quite a few gear swaps. FMS gears right? Well take the stock shim and OLD crush sleeve and install the new pinion. Now install the new nut until it sucks the pinion up and bottoms out against the old shim. Use locktite here. (should be some on the nut in the kit, but you've...

    problems with pi

    Hmmm, the only source of oil back there under pressure is the plugs, however oil from the vc can pour out rather nicely (don't ask how I know that). As far as the motor not running for more than a few seconds, go back over the engine and make sure all you vac. lines and sensors are connected. I...

    spark plug gap for headswapped cars

    Well I'm running the autolite 764's at a .40 gap. Right now I think my exhaust leak is keeping me from getting a full feel down low, but up in the RPMs it runs just fine. Wish there hadn't been 2 weeks between the start and end of the swap so I can really compare it, however it is definately a...
