    Trick to getting IC pipe on/off

    I just did this Friday -- I had the bumper off, but, I ended up getting it rotated to where the ear where the body mounting bracket attaches to is pointing down toward the bottom point of the fender hole, work it around the harness, and it shoudl come out that end...but remember, I didn't have a...

    Mk III and 1/2.

    You know what's funny, is back in '03ish I saw a Mk3 on Autotrader in Vista that had the front and rear clip of a Mk4 grafted onto it....or at least the rear tail lights....it actually looked pretty clean. I almost bought the car, he only wanted 3k for it.

    sparkplug wire pops off

    Do you have the American-spec plugs in your car, or the J-spec plugs? American-spec spark plugs are just slightly shorter than the J-spec, so they just barely fit on and snap...this could be part of your problem. As for another possibility -- Engine vibration could be worse at the back of the...

    questions, advice regarding hg replacement, tips, tricks, etc

    I would think you could have the head pulled in about an hour, and maybe two to put it back on....*shrug* But, also keep in mind...since you're pulling the head, you might as well get it checked for straightness.

    questions, advice regarding hg replacement, tips, tricks, etc

    Ed Zachary! I got lucky and had to replace shit anyway....some jackhole put the wrong bearing on the #5 Main on my replacement block....D'OH! So, it kind of made my decision for me....another MHG (and properly this time, damn PO) since the block had to come apart anyway...LOL!

    questions, advice regarding hg replacement, tips, tricks, etc

    Well, with the fine wheel, you have a little bit of leeway with pressure -- I've actually pressed fairly hard cleaning the intake manifold on my truck, and it barely touched it. That's the great thing with the graphite gaskets though, you do have a bit of room to play with, because the soft...

    questions, advice regarding hg replacement, tips, tricks, etc

    It really depends on what gasket you're putting on -- if you're going to go full MHG, then you're better off pulling the motor like was mentioned. If you're just replacing with a Fel-Pro or other graphite/composite gasket, then I'd do it on the car. The fastest way by far to pull the gasket...

    Welcome Nick! I'm in the process of rebuilding mine too, decided it was going to piss all its oil out halfway between La and Vegas on my move out here to Denver....D'OH!

    head gasket what thickness

    So, in my case (I'm going through a rebuild as well), since I don't know how much was originally taken off of the head (bought it used) I'd take the stock block and head heights and add 1.37mm to it....then, I'd add my current head and block heights to get the current total, and subtract that...

    Dyno Difference's?

    I know you can have it display corrected or uncorrected numbers, and that'll affect the readout.
