i have an extra one kicking around, from my old engine... if you want it pm me

i was curious if anyone knew or tried to fit a 245 45 16 tire on the stock 16x7 rims? will they fit? i ask b/c i found 2 michelin tires at my shops parts warehouse that were discontinued and they were only $22 a piece WOAH!! no lie.. only thing is they are two models of michelins, ones...

i just pieced a few parts together... i work at a parts/service center and i looked through the mufflers we had in stock... took a shot in the dark and put on a $60 raptor high flow muffler.. the drone was way too much so i cut a section after the cat and put in a glasspack... another cheap...

if its only related to the braking.. then check your brake pad shims... does it click in both directions? when is clicks when u turn the wheel when not moving, is your foot on the brake also?

any pics?

sounds like you have some play in your center bearing.... try grabbing the shaft and moving it up and down at the bearing... you may not even notice play... but will give you the same symptoms

for the record.. the timing was advanced 2 degrees... for a total of 12degrees BTDC...

furthermore suprarx7nut, i dont care for you very much.. your posts are not helpful in anyway, and fairly condecending. i know verywell that the o2 sensor controls fuel trim and as a result, effects emissions and timing. it was my understanding that every ecm has a base map of...

if its running retarded in limp mode then wouldnt that cancel out my timing advance?? all i know is that originally, the car ran great in open loop, but as soon as it heated up to temp it bogged down mid rpm.. so knowing that the o2 reading is only used in closed loop i disconnected it to see...

when the o2 isnt connected it runs off a base map... and it's not like im running 15 degrees BTC try slightly over base timing.. the highoctane fuel will be fine.. imo drove quite a while.. 2k miles or so... but i still feel the o2 leaned it out too much!

it was definitely a torque issue... it seemed like the bolts around that cylinder were loose when i went to remove them... but i wouldnt be supprised if it was also made worse by a lean condition.. as the o2 sensor is known bad and i was running the car without it for a long time... the...

definitely 4-5 thats blown... all others look shitty too.. had to have been the torque... definitely a bitch to get the head out of the engine bay by myself... i must have had a friend last time...

ok well i'm about an hour and a half into the work and i'm just about to remove the head bolts... just wanted to get on here to get the removal sequence.. no fucking around this time

i can imagine setting the cruise at that fast around here... the cops are pretty much nazis around here... overfunded nazis at that, were lucky to not get pulled over going 70 in a 55.. i dont know what the deal is.. but i will find out tomorrow what happened.. your right i should have...

yep suprarx7nut, those two flaws, the ones i stated in my original post. yes, i am well aware. but thanks for confirming . as for the other flaws you suggest im not mentioning? the block was decked, measured, and honed the head was rebuilt and planed two good mating surfaces that...

poodles, it was a stock N/A rebuild nothing fancy, oem head bolts. and yes it must have blown between the cylinders as there was no coolant loss and/or mixing with the oil. did the compression test and came up with 10 psi in both 4 and 5 did a cyl leak down test and heard the whirring...

rear timing cover? there is an upper and lower timing cover... but i think i know what your referring to.. and no there was no lip and if there was i would have had a problem sooner and the dead cyl no 4 and 5 wouldnt be a result of that problem... i will take some pics tomorrow when i rip...

yea im a turd.... no doubt about that... i think it was an "evergreen" brand?? i bought the car with a bad hg replaced it with a high quality gasket set like a 300 dollar one but it was too late and it had a rod knock.. so when i bought a new block and had the head redone i cheaped out b/c i...

so im not sure if it was the cheap ebay head set or if it was the fact that i only torqued the head bolts to 58 ft lbs... but i blew my head gasket between 4 and 5 cylinder today while driving... it sucks only had 5k on the rebuild... but when i assembled it, all i had access to was the...

go to a junk yard and find an old subaru... they have tons of heat shields on their exhausts and they wrap tightly around the pipe... maybe a good route... or if you were looking for a short term fix... old license plates... hope i dont get flamed for that comment :0)
