    words cant explain!

    Make sure the exhaust studs on the head arent getting stuck on the manifold and make sure the fuel rail doesnt have the fuel lines hooked up if its still bolted onto the head. I hooked a crowbar on the top bolt that holds the alternator and pulled the head up like that when mine was stuck.

    Crank pulley bolt removal

    Word for word exactly what I was thinking the other day. How do you guys torque that bolt back on when the engine spins? Im going to try to fish it out again a different way but if I end up taking the cover off, Im definitely changing the belt and seal.

    Crank pulley bolt removal

    Yes the block is still in the car with the auto attached to it. I tried a magnet but its one of those retractable ones and it kept getting pushed back in and attached to other metal parts before I managed to really feed it in there. Im going to try and cut the magnet off and fasten it to a...

    Crank pulley bolt removal

    I popped the head off the engine and my dumbass dropped a bolt down inside the lower timing belt cover in the process. I know to get the bottom cover off you have to take the main pulley off, but with so much stuff taken off the engine and the timing belt just dangling, is it ok to just stick a...

    Automatic Transmission won't engage or shift when it's supposed to.

    As the title says, when I turn on my 89 NA and put it in Drive, it'll go at first. But after its been running a little while (still below operating temp.) if I put it in park or neutral, then try to go back to Drive or Reverse, it won't engage anymore, or it takes a long time for it to take...

    Please Help I really messed up this time.

    Yes that little hole was reason for everything. I guess all the smoke was because I was running very rich since air was escaping the intake tract. Im pissed. My front bumper was so beautiful before this happened lol.

    Running without an intercooler (pics)

    I gave my intercooler a nice big crack a couple days ago. Today I took it off to get ready to replace it and I noticed that if you rotate the upper pipe it lines up pefectly with the lower pipe coming from the turbo. Even the shape of the pipe wraps around components nicely. Do you think...

    engine starts but wont idle.

    You probably reset your ECU after changing the battery. Once you turned your car back on the ECU needed time to re-learn everything.
