    Rod knock

    I don't think Castrol was the problem either I am sure it is a machine shop error. I won't know on mine till I get enough time to pull it again. Good luck with yours, I don't think that it being a tooth off would kill it unless you where doing WOT pulls, even then you would run like crap enough...

    Car got Messed Up!! (pics)

    Look on the subframe above the differential, see if there are any cracks. I had the same problem and it turned out my subframe had snapped in to two pieces being held together by the diff mounts. Its hard to see with out close inspection and the wheels will cock back and forth like that. Good luck

    Attach Harness before or after you put the motor in?

    I always find it easier to attach it before if I have the intake manifold on the head, you can always put it through the firewall after. If you are piecing it togeather once you have the longblock in then you could go either way.

    help with profec E-01

    The nut probably dosen't do the adjusting, look at the actuator arm on the valve side there should be a threaded end with a fitting attaching it to the valve and it should be held on by a C-clip, you have to remove that C-clip and take the fitting and spin it in on the threaded arm to shorten...
