It's all a matter of balance, each throw on the 7m crank has weights whereas only half (?) the 6m throws are weighted. So the 7m crank should be better balanced but if your getting your engine done a 6m crank balanced properly should be more then enough. The 7m crank is also heavier since...

I did my head gasket and the injector wiring was wrong so I corrected it (see previous thread) and now my car does'nt want to start. it was idling about 500 with the improper injector wiring. Can the bottom end be 180 degrees out of sync with the cams or is it as long as the crank it at TDC and...

I need to know the correct wiring order for connecting the fuel injectors back up. they alternate grey and orange/brown, but hte harness looks like it can fit either order

Mine did a similar thing yesterday. I did a headgasket and the timing was way out and it backfired through the intake and now I have a huge vacuum leak on the manifold but I can't find it. Seems to be coming from near the frewall

Hey, I need to get a interior for my 89 targa, How much would a complete factory (no paint or dye) black or grey interior minus front seats be?

I jsut did my headgasket and the motor cranks but will not fire, I( cannot hear the fuel pump at all, There is the speed sensor wire and a randonm wire hanging is on of these for the fuel pump? Any help would be stellar

Could be wiring for factory subs?... If you end up finding a decent shop or decide to go through with doing yours let me know. I have to do mine and seeing how your doing it or giving you a hand will probably help me on mine.

can't the egr feed hole in hte exhaust be tapped and sealed? Then it's sealed but the smog testers see a full egr system

If you guys are going to be throwing rocks count me in, As for body shops around here they charge way too much and take way too long.

It's too runny but it warms up my hands in this cold weather.....

Anyone have any recommendations as to which lube to use on head bolts. I have arps but I don't have any of the lube, was thinking thick synthetic oil or maybe some grease, anyone?

Is there room for another on this bandwagon? From the filter to tb had light oil and tb to intake valves had almost grease in it. I have some side to side and no in and out play (well from the turbo anyhow :naughty: )

Hello, I'm lost on my car. I have a 89t and the gauge has always read at max hot, it can run for like 1-2 mins slowly climb then around halfway it just skyrockets. I was having huge problems with bleeding the cooling system and then hoses started blowing. #6 developed an audible miss and the...

The little triangles between the cylinders are supposed to be all blocked on one side?

Hey, I took my head off due to a bhg and noticed the head gasket was missing like 6 or 7 coolant passages. I plan on replacing the hg with a toyota one and going to 74 ftlb. Now if I have the head skimmed do I have to competely dissasemble the head? Think theres a big possiblity of the head...
