Small update... Took the car to the track (left everything in the car) and ran a 14.5 at 99MPH, 2.3 60ft. Car was running about 9-10 PSI and was at a pretty steady 11.0:1 A/F ratio. Had some one tire fire action at the launch :P I have a 57 trim and CX Racing intercooler kit on the way. Will...

Compression specs are always with a warmed up engine. As things warm up the rings/pistons expand and create a tighter seal in the bore which is why you are supposed to test it warm. To check the timing belt you just need to remove the timing cover and make sure the marks both line strait up at...

I wouldn't consider that to be conclusive of a head gasket at all. If it is pretty severely blown you will likely see low compression one one or two cylinders but not even across all of them. Im not sure what the spec is for that engine for compression but those results don't point to a head...

Sending an oil sample into some place like blackstone labs will tell you for sure if there is coolant in there

Thats the problem, you dont know. The best bet is to rebuild it after you get it otherwise its all up to luck whether or not it is going to last.

Do you have a new feed line from the tank up? Make sure there's no kinks or anything in any of the lines. I would probably do a fuel pump volume test to rule out the pump, supply lines, etc. If you know the pump can flow the correct volume as tested from the line leading to the rail, you know no...

When you hit fuel cut it will do just what you are describing, you are basically flowing more air than the computer sees as safe, whether its form running too much boost or an air leak somewhere. Considering that you are running a MBC turned all the way up that is most likely the problem you...

When I installed mine, I used the TaiHo bearings that NAPA sells. There were no burrs on the end of the bearing but the shaft was still extremely tight. Rich I would love to see that tool you use to cut them down.

kbox engineering and twosrus both sell a full kit with bearings, seals, pin etc all you need to do the above mentioned rebuild.

Sounds like the bottom line is budget, and if you cant pay then you shouldnt play! Go with a stock head gasket and dont aim for high horsepower numbers. Once you can afford it, go with the whole nine including forged pistons etc with a MHG. No sense in trying to make lots of power with a half...

Oops! Didn't even realise thats what the thread was about, i thought OP said Ultimate MK3 correc rims. Period. LOL ya, the works are not "period correct", but i thought they looked the best out of any wheels for the mk3

Work Equips for sure:)

editing wasnt bad but it was like the same 3 clips over and over

I actually sandblasted everything, and then painted it with silver engine paint. If i just left them bare they would end up getting dirty really easily, the paint keeps everything clean it seems. I used OEM select fit bearings Motor has about 6k miles on it now, i just ordered a 57 trim ct26...

What was the point of this thread again?

For anyone else looking, i recommend you buy it from the dealer as any aftermarket that i have tried is slightly smaller in diameter and requires you to really stretch it on..

Sounds like you have your AFM unplugged first of all, considering the intake air temp sensor is inside of the AFM and uses the same connector. Go make sure you have a good connection there. Then, go into the tsrm and find the TPS adjustment procedure and verify your TPS is good, has the proper...

Try prying the shaft out through the j-tube plate hole in the side of the block. Someone i know had the same thing happen and that's how he got it out.

Do you have any codes? Even if the check engine light is off, you can have stored codes. Hook up your jumper and check. Your vacuum should be anywhere between 18-22inhg approximately at idle, but that is assuming you have a steady idle. Is it smoking or anything unusual out the exhaust? You...
