hmm odd... the bucking was just that one time though, and it didn't happen again the rest of my drive... agh.... I gotta go back out to get cleaner for the power washer i rented cuz water itself is not doing squat

OK... bad news :( today as I was waiting at a stop light, I saw a red mk4 on a truck pass by, then as i went to go right after the engine bucked like three times. I have no idea what it was cuz the series of events happened so quickly, but i fear the worst... hopefully tomorrow when we do a...

Hmm sounds like a good idea, I just checked and by the little painted marks on my tps it doens't seem like it moved, but then I did clean out plenty of gunk in the tb itself that affected the throttle plates range of movement and probably caused this misalignment... hmmmm

Oooo... I will heed that from now on :P. I'm going to retorque this weekend (should have about 5 heat cycles by then) and it shouldn't be too hard to get to 500 miles since she's my daily. I just finished my second oil change with filter change... man that filter location is such a b****...

awesome!! I'll lend a hand!! or two...

Thanks guys!!! Still got a bit of work though >_< are you free tomorrow? by smoke you mean the exhaust? no smoke there, though I think the wd-40 i coated the exhaust manifold with got cooked off lmao... smells good LOL ---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM...

Good news!!! she lives!!!! AND RUNS SMOOTHLY TOO!!!!! LoL... the engine also sounds... different now, its somehow a deeper tone. I am going to baby her until I have everything done with fluids, filter etc etc. the initial startup was good, I cranked it with the efi fuse out about 6 times cuz I...

allllllright :D got it all put together except ic piping, intake, upper intake, throttle linkages and coil packs. I have no more cleaning supplies so I have to postpone the cleansing of the inside of my upper intake, so ill scrub it out some early tomorrow then slap it on with a cheaper gasket...

hmmm not as bad as I feared... almost done with the wiring and stuff... only things left, bolt up the vsv to the lowers and the two ground wires as well. There's a mount on the fuel feed line, but it doesn't match up to anything... Then I need to finish polishing the uppers and put that on, then...

awesome thanks for the info!!! er... yeah what block off plate are you talking about?? well, right now I am enjoying the re-installation of the wonderful puzzle that is intake side wire harness and vacuum and coolant lines... joy!!!

I'm pretty sure all three pieces are different, and Rodel, i am in, considering that this process may take months, so given my savings plan, I think I could set aside enough for this. Perhaps we can get a new thread started solely for the purpose of collecting names... or later tonight i can...

nvm.. I figured out what was going on. I apparently reused my old head to heater hose for the heater to head hose... cuz the old head to heater hose was shorter than my new replacement hose, and it was very similar in shape to the new heater to head hose. hahaha try and make sense out of that...

Awesome thanks again guys... k moar pics :P wtf... you tell me what's going on here the mess that is my engine bay right now fipg love colorful OK now wtf... WHERE DOES THIS HOSE GO?!?!?!?!?! new one on the left, old one on the right. I have consulted tsrm and can't see where this...

that is some good craftsmanship!!! i like!! can't wait to see the finished product!!!

LoL awesome you answered the question i was just about to embark on a research trip for :D. jut for clarification, a heat cycle is anytime the engine is in a state of operating temp correct?

well, we got the head back on today... that was interesting to say the least. At first it wouldn't sit right, but then I lifted the front a little and set it back down and it sat right. I coated the HG with a couple layers of copper spray sealant too. One little thing that I'm nervous about...

yeah that sounds great!! see you then!!

Thanks again man!! OH wow!! but a little note: I'm using arp bolts actually... ;P
