Ok, so I'm looking to degree my cams tomorrow after not being able to last weekend, and I'm having a bit of an issue. I know I have to mount the fixture and gauge so that the tip of the gauge rests on the bucket face, but I'm not exactly sure how this is accomplished with the cam lobe taking up...

I know, the thread title is a bit misleading as to a total n00b question...but, I did search (maybe using wrong parameters...I can never seem to get that thing right...lol) and couldn't find anything. I measured my head and block deck heights and it seems that I need a 2.6mm gasket to keep...

That's right, I finally have me a real job...not that slingin' tables isn't honorable work...just doesn't pay that great when you're the new guy and a bunch of cheap-asses come into your restaurant to eat...HA! So anyway, got the official word today, I'm now an employee or Kelly Engineering...

So, I finally was able to yank the motor on the Sup last week, and finished tearing down the top half of the motor this morning. I had a nice little suprise, however, when I took the cam journal caps off.... In sequential order, Intake cap 1-7, then Exhaust cap 1-6...camera battery died before...

I know, seems like a stupid question, and who in their right mind would contemplate 15" rims? Well, for starters...will they fit? Or is 16" the minimum rim size for our cars? Reason I'm asking is because I'm looking for rims/tires on the cheap for winter out here, and came across a set of...

Thought I'd post some new pics of Roxy while I was in the picture-posting mood. She's gettin' big -- she's about 5-1/2 months old now, and she weighed in at 40.7lbs at the vet's office this week. On a light note as well, shouldn't be any problems with her when I move down into Denver...

A CATEGORY 5 HURRICANE hits Mexico. Two million Mexicans die and over a million are injured. The country is totally ruined and the government doesn't know where to start and is asking for help to rebuild. The rest of the world is in shock. Canada is sending troopers to help the Mexican army...

So I finally finished checking the spare block I picked up a couple months ago, I checked the rod thrust clearances, rod, and main bearings. All was in PRIMO condition, except for the #5 Main Cap bearing. Started with Rod Thrust Clearances, then checked the bearings last night. For a 70k...

Her name is Roxy -- she belonged to Mom's neighbors, and the dad said the kids couldn't keep her anymore, or something like that. Mom says she's pit, but I don't think she's pure-blood if she is...but CO has a kill policy for pits if you turn them into the shelters....even ASPCA shelters...

So, I have a couple of quick questions -- first, as some of you have read, I picked up a shortblock that the guy said had only about 70k on it, no rod knock, running great when he pulled the motor. So, my question is....should there be any side play at all on the rods? I'm not talking about...

....Without my Supra -- It only made it as far as Vegas. Cliffs version: something let go somewhere at the front of the motor (gasket, seal...something), started pissing oil...limped it to Vegas from Baker, and by the time I got it to Vegas, it had the dreaded Rod Knock....I think the only...

...Ok, maybe just the year... Not this past weekend, but the weekend before I came across a pretty good score. Local guy posted on Craigslist that he had a shortblock, 70k out of a '91 Turbo....so I e-mailed him and set up a time/day to go pick it up. Cost to me....just had to spend $40 for...

I've got a question about my factory security system, maybe someone knows the answer...couldn't find anything in search that really pertained to my question. So, one thing I noticed when I bought my car last year, was that (to me) there seems to be an issue with the door locks. On my old '87...

...Is there a difference (besides cap size)? Reason I ask is because I found out this weekend that when the car was repaired before I bought it, the radiator they replaced the original with was a GE radiator. Would this have any effect or bearing on cooling efficiency on a Turbo motor?

Did a search, and found a post that pretty much said our stock connectors are the Nippon/Denso style connectors (was a post about adapter pigtails)...is this correct? The reason I'm asking, is because I want to buy new connectors for the injectors, since mine are zip-tied to the friggin'...

Tried searching, but maybe I'm not using the right key words.... Anyway, does anyone know how to take apart the tail lights without destroying them? Mine had a shitload of water in them, and I still can't get all of it out, even with cycling the lights through the oven...they're fogged right...

So I was wondering, if anyone on here is an authorized DEI Dealer/Installer (pref. in the SoCal or Vegas areas). I just bought a Clifford alarm for my truck from Amazon for a screamin' deal, but the only way I get a warranty for it is if it's professionally installed by a DEI Dealer. So, was...

Just got these delivered today....can't wait to start reading! http://www.amazon.com/Maximum-Boost-Turbocharger-Engineering-Performance/dp/0837601606/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-3434869-3914313?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1194054001&sr=8-1...
