I did mach it up with clay and turned it over and the combo itself is suppose to be safe anyway. But yes I did check it before I bolted it down.

Yes pushrod length was checked and the roller tips are riding very close to center on the valve stem and I cant imagine this would be pistons. These are factory pistons and the sound changed abruptly with just changing heads. Poston slap is a gradual build up, not a night and day change with a...

I am going to go back over it this weekend but its just rocker arm clatter like loose rockers. Not much to describe. If you have ever heard very poorly adjusted rockers before thats what it sounds like. As if several of them are backed off a solid turn.

I did drop them off at the machine shop and have him go over them. I dont think he took out any valves but he did check all of the bolt holes and the surface for issues. Factory lifters and I do have tons of them. I replaced a couple that I felt were spongy but right now when I prime the pump...

Yep, Completely understand and that would make a hell of a racket under the hood if one of those plugs wasnt installed.

Yes, I hooked the trigger wire to the main output post and finally got 14 volts. I bet your only getting 11 from the back post right now. Move that wire and see if it goes to 14.

Those appear to be the inserts to block the EGR passage and allow for threading bolts in. I have those installed on each end of the heads. This is definitely rocker arm noise from inside the valve covers.

Ok, Explain this set screw? The heads were used that came off a running motor so I assumed they were ready to bolt on but I am not sure what set screw your referring too. Ok, With that said, I did drop them off at my machine shop guy and had them checked over and he said they were good to...

You really need to run the one single heavy gauge wire over to the battery side of the car. I have read some horror stories of guys burning their cars down keeping the two wire setup. And when I did my upgrade I never saw 14 volts from the alternator until I put the Yellow wire directly on the...

Ok, Been messing with this for a couple of weeks. I will post the combo, What I have done and what I have been told which I dont totally think is the issue. Yes I have done plenty of searching on forums and have found lots of guessing and speculation but not a smoking gun that has fixed my...

Lol. Yea I was a little confused for a second. Thought maybe I missed something.

There is no sliding contact on the later cars. The clock spring took its place unless your meaning something else and I am misunderstanding or I just didnt see it. it thought the clock spring took the place of the brass sliding one. But yes, I had one plug from wheel to clock and another...

I have the owners manual and a few haynes books but following that stuff is tough. I hate electrical stuff. lol I have not pulled out all of my fuses one at a time or replaced them all for grins but it may be time. Like I said, everything else works on the car other than the cig lighter...

The later cars actually have an air bag buzzer. Its a blue box up under the dash and it makes a lovely sound when it senses that the air bag is disabled or non functional and I get that there may be airbag codes but my guess is they will be cured if I can figure out why nothing that is related...

I will check the lighter harness out. I have the LMR cup holder console with the usb plugs in it so no lighter for coins to go in but I did notice it doesnt work either. My mirror switch has power but the usb plug ins do not work. The fuse for the lighter is good though. I have checked it...

I have a 93GT which is a one year only clock spring. nothing on my steering wheel has worked in a long time and my air bag buzzer goes off often and is annoying as hell. I sourced another clock spring that was known to be working, installed it and no change at all. I have not found any fuses...

I get that but I would rather not put all my smog stuff back on. I shouldnt need to but if the computer is complaining about the smog stuff then tell me how to turn all that off without a tune or without another computer. I am hearing everyone say fix the car and pretty much telling me I am...

A guy locally is going to burn a chip and dyno tune it for a reasonable price. Should solve my issues. So will pass on the megasquirt.

Dont know the spec but mine took about 2 cans from empty and vacuumed.

So just for arguments sake. If I spend a a couple hundred bucks or more hooking my EGR back up I will be better off than having the megasquirt which is going to run me about $600? I thought about hooking up the smog stuff but would have to pull the heads to put a crossover pipe back in. For...
