I'm just rebuilding the motor, I was suggested by my machine shop to clean the pistons by hand and replace the pistons rings. The NPR rings set that is offered on Drift-motion look like a winner. Has anyone used these. Are they really a quality ring set? Am I going to have to order a set of oil...

This is a plug for a vacuum line. If its not plugged in it will just throw a code. The vacuum lines should be hooked up though if your running all the stock lines. One goes on the manifold I think, the other is for the fuel rail. Possibly goes to the starter. But idk where its coming from.

OK guys, so a little update, I took the motor into the machine shop today, told them what I wanted and they are doing that. I also bought a new battery cause my was stolen, those bastards. Ill have a lot more pics when I get it back from them, so it should only be a few days. heres a pic of my...

Ok so stick with the ndc's. Will do, as long as I can get them ordered.

I mean, yea i'm going all out ARP. Lol, I figured the stock main bolts were still good. So why replace them?

Umm I think i'm going to do ARP hardware on the rod caps, but not the mains.

A really long time, they are called United Speed World, they have done all kinds of work and are well known in Tampa. I was suggested to go to them by a Victor at F & H Performance in Tampa, also. What I think it was, was the guy I was talking to didn't sound like he knew what he was talking...

Supposedly, they don't know of them.

So my shop suggested ACL bearings today. I told them no, I come home to order the NDC's suggested by the forums. And now there site isn't running. So what to do now.

Ok so its NDC's then? lol. is this your final answer? I have been doing some searchs on them and they look ok, http://www.enginebearingsllc.com/About_us.html

Ok but I was just making sure ACL was a good bearing company for the 7M, cause I read that clevetes are not so great in out blocks.

Yea I already have a new set of NPR replacement pistons. With there new ring kits. So thats taken care of. So back to the original topic, should I buy a set of ACL bearings for the mains, caps, and oil DS, if available.

I'm some machine work done for a metal head gasket. I have the bottom end totally disassembled and labeled. My question is about the bearings, my machine shop keeps trying to talk me into buying a new bearing kit for the mains, rods, and oil DS. But I'm thinking since the motor was running, and...

Yea and the hood acually flows with your car. I like it.

Ok so its my girlies car, and I have looked into the problem. And found a couple of solutions, but wanted to run it by other poeple. Theres a few problems, but ill start with the first. 1. When in drive and driving the car will act like its wanting to shift, then it kinda hesitates, and...

Ok guys, I got to taking apart the accessories on off the motor. This is because, after talking it over with a member on here. I have decided to go ahead use a Metal Head Gasket, and have the block decked (with the front timing cover) and also have a place clean my head and probably re-shim it...

Dam, thank you very much

Ok so im checking the clearences on my motor, and have not been able to find the torque spec. To torque the main caps, and also the rod caps. Im using the blue plasta-guage to just get a rough guess on what my clearences are. So does anyone know of a torque spec sheet. That has all of torque...

Dam this car and its motor looks like It was put together very nicely. I like the color also. Not all the carbon fiber though. But its your car, do what you please with it.

So I removed the stock oil pipe, and installed a new SS braided oil pump feed pipe, onto the oil pump. I also tried my hand at polishing my lower timing belt cover. Came out really nice. I'm also painting a second coat of paint, on the cam sprockets, and rear timing cover. Something that sucked...
