I just threw a set of rod bearings at my 114k engine and oil pressure at idle is approximately 38. According to the stock gauge anyway... Does that sound about right...what are y'all getting?

I started this in another thread; but, needed more feedback so I started this one. Ok. I just replaced my rod bearings. This was done while the engine was in the car. The car had been sitting for 2-1/2 years. I verified that I'm getting fuel by cracking the FPR fitting while jumping at...

Ok. Dumb question of the day! My car has been sitting for approximately 2-1/2 years. The only work that I did was replace the rod bearings. The engine did not come out of the car. I got it all back together and drained the old gas out of the tank and yes, put fresh gas in. Approximately...

The engine is still in the car. I have the pan off and have changed all the rod bearings so far. I'll be pulling the main caps tomorrow to inspect them. Can or has anyone successfully changed out the main bearings without removing the crank? If so...how? I have one idea and that is to...

I called the machine shop and setup a time to drop off my block. They want the block stripped. No problem right?! Well, when I was removing the oil pressure sensor, it twisted off and the threads stayed in the block. Has anyone had this happen and what did you do? It is going to a machine...

I am going to have my CT26 built; but, don't know which trim to choose. My goal for the car is for it to be a daily driver with spunk. So, what are your opinions and experiences? In choosing between reliability and power...I choose reliability! Thanks...

I need to remove the two studs out of the deck of the block that are used to guide and align the Head Gasket and Head on to the block. All the ways I can think of removing them, risk damaging either the studs or the block. Neither of which I want to do. How do I get them out safely and...

Hey guys! I'm considering a MAFT Pro. What experiences have y'all had with it...were you happy with the investment? Does it eliminate the need for other devices ultimately saving MONEY!?!?!? Give me the low down!!! :naughty:

Ok. Here is the question. How do I get my stock mkiii to put 350 hp to the ground? What have you guys done and what works the best? Right now the engine is out and stripped. The bare block is sitting on the stand. Tell me where to start to achieve the magic 350 hp!!!!:aigo:

Hi guys! I am rebuilding my MKIII Turbo and want at LEAST 350hp to the ground. Should I send my CT26 off to TurboNetics and have it hopped up for $450.00 or buy a new T3 or T4 with Exhaust Manifold off ebay for $400.00? A friend of mine sent his CT26 in for the upgrade. It spools fast...

I'm down to prepping the deck of the block. I'm going to install an HKS MHG. Are there any recommendations on how to prepare the block. How should I get the old gasket off the block? Should I scrape off the big chunks of old gasket and then use a die grinder with surface preperation discs...

Is this a mod, a redneck job (I'm from Louisiana so I can say that), or something from the factory? Does anyone else's look like this?

Hi all! I turned the head over with the cams out and all the shims and buckets hit the floor like a slot machine winning! The car is an 87 7MGTE. Any suggestions or directions out there? Possibly some sort of chart or table? This is the only thing keeping me from getting my ride...

Hi, this is my first post; but, I need help in getting a shim and bucket chart or table of some kind. I am rebuilding my 87 7MGTE and turned the head over with the cams out. Needless to say, the sound of shims and buckets hitting the ground reminded me of a slot machine! This is the only...
