    recently did HG, now possible BHG

    Is the bubbling from boiling the coolant or is it air in the fluid? It sounds like the prep work, or lack there of (no offence), has caused a very poor seal between the block and cylinder head. Pressure test the system. If that comes back with bad news, then take the engine to a GOOD (also...

He worked for a mazda race shop and took a complete 20B and dissassembled it and placed every part on a CMM machine. The machine can save the measurements into a...

    Coil Pack Relocation??????

    I don't understand how you break the studs... If you want to relocate the coil pack to the rear of the engine just reverse the length of the wires so #1 is the longest and #6 is the shortest. Just remember that the coil pack is grounded through its body so consider that when trying to...

    Solid Edge Engine Model (7M kinda)

    Solidworks is alot better than Solid Edge. Next to Solid works I would choose Autodesk Inventor. Inventor is good because now 3DSMAX is owned by Autodesk so importing Inventor files into 3DSMAX for rendering is so easy. By far my favourite CAD software is CATIA though. It is the most advanced...

    Why do some people have different size tires for F & R?

    275/40 and 245/45 I choose that combo because for the tires I have, with the different widths they are identical heights with those aspect ratios.

    what do your parents do with you and your car?

    My dad helps me with mine constantly, usually when I just need a spare set of hands. My mom helped with the interior; re-apholstering. I get told all the time to clean up all the parts, mainly the stacks of older wheels/tires. My dad thinks it will blow up after 300hp because it is...

    Bleeding air from ABS unit

    So I know the process on how to bleed the air, but where in the heck are the bleeders for the ABS unit? I have bled the master and all calipers several times and there is still air in the system. I hear an air suction sound coming from the ABS unit. Is there actually a bleeder port or is it...

    clutch disc direction

    So I put the car into 1st gear with the engine off and turned the engine on. With the clutch pedal held down nothing out of the ordinary. If I start to release the pedal the car wants to move forward and if I take it out of gear I can't put it back in. Help?

    clutch disc direction

    Should be alright, it was used with no issues on a 2JZ/R154 combo previously. All I had them do was align the fingers of the diaphragm as they had shifted slightly from eachother. Throwout bearing has been installed as per TSRM.
