    Fan catching on fire

    That recall fix was ridiculous. I pulled that breaker off, bought a spare fan motor and kept it in the trunk until I needed it. I don't know what these corporate guys are thinking about sometimes.

    Oil burning 5.0, can it be diagnosed without tearing bottom end down?

    70 k miles... I would say the bottom end is fine... the smoke symptoms sound like top end to me. Probably lack of use rot on stem seals. I vote h/c/i now ... you'll be good for at least another 100 k I have 210k miles.... no smoke. very little oil loss. most loss coming from rear main...

    Looking into some 18X9 Bullitt wheels... What type of offset and backspacing would I need?? I'm only lowered a bit from my Bullitt suspension kit, so I don't think height clearance will be an issue.... tia

    Crane 2031

    Well... i guess I should have looked for their web site first... :D They didn't stay out of business for long. It looks like the PowerMax 2030 would be a better cam as it works with 1.6 rockers and a 308 rearend . the 2031 is for 1.7 rockers the stock heads are 1.6, correct?

    I will be staying NA... seeing as the injectors are 15 years old, I would be replacing them anyway. Would I need I tuner chip if I go with the 24s?? And what / where is the meter?? Is that the fuel regulator?? I guess it all depends on if I go with the TFS kit or just just spruce up...

    CAR STALLING

    Never run a modern auto with that little fuel. Most cars have in-tank fuel pumps that are partially lubricated by the fuel itself. Plus you would suck up the junk that is at the bottom of the tank- damaging the pump and clogging the filter... Spring for some gas, change the fuel filter and...

    oil leak

    The PCV valve is at the rear of the intake... could be blowing out of there. Have you replaced the PCV valve AND the little screen assembly under it?? Oil being on TOP of the tranny makes me think it's not the rear main. Could just be the intake seal didn't take as well... clean it up...

    AJ's Rebuild - Cam

    THe charts I've seen have similar numbers at low revs for almost all heads. the HP values don't jump radically until Hi rev .... meaning Hi Flow. This is why these are called performance heads. You don't buy them to shift at 3 grand.... This is kind of what your saying anyway... :shrug:

    Oil burning 5.0, can it be diagnosed without tearing bottom end down?

    You could run a wet / dry compression test on the cylinders ... Compression test dry, then add some motor oil to the cylinders via plugs holes. Any improvement seen would imply rings. #'s the same, valve related....
