    Ring gap confusion

    Looking a the specs in the book I see that they are quit a bit different from what adjuster mentioned as an update to his 7M assembly tips. As Im using stock pistons and stock rings I was thinking I should go with the books specs. My problem lies in the fact that upon initial check the gaps are...

    Crazy idea for a fun product

    I was reading a few posts in another thread by JetJock and I had this idea. What if we were to have an over 40 club here within SM. I was thinking we could have some stickers made up that say "GET OFF MY LAWN!" and have a small version of the SM logo under it. It would be an exclusive group...

    Wheel Question: Milling hubs to increase offset?

    Of course there are spacers to decrease offset, but what if you want to take a set of wheels and increase offset? Safety concerns aside (I wouldnt be ignoring them, just leaving that out of this question for now) has anyone ever looked into it? Anyone know anyone who has done it or knonw where...

    piston to cylinder bore clearence

    If I understand correctly this number is specific to the piston not the motor? Meaning, a ross piston will have a different spec than another forged piston or a stock one for that matter, is that correct? If it is engine specific what is the spec as I am only able to find "oil clearence". If...

    will work on supras for food

    ok, well not exactly. It turns out that my new roommate and I dont get along. Amazing, since we've known each other for a long time and never had fights before. Apparently now in close proximity we cant communicate very well. Anyway, its a long story but it turns out that I will not be staying...

    what does a properly prepped block look like?

    Ok well, I saw my block at the machine shop today. I was not entirely sure that the block surface was ready for a Cometic MLS gasket (RA50). The machine shop owner swears its MHG ready but Im not convinced. Since Ive never seen a block that was supposedly prepped for a metal gasket, can someone...

    fuel pressure bleed off

    Ok, so I installed a brand new Walbro255 and my A/F is all over the place. Right after starting it, it is reasonable at around 12 then slowly rises to 15's, then eventually wants to die. When I shut off the engine the FP drops to nearly zero very fast. Is my new pump defective and the check...

I have the manifold and turbo bolted down and have clearence for the turbo outlet past the manifold. However, getting an intercooler pipe anywhere close is frustrating me. So I decided one thing...

    New Wheels for Lucy?

    Tell me what you think of these wheels going on Lucy. 17/9 fronts and 17/10.5 rears. Im trying to find out offset specs on them but dont know at the moment. I have 245/40 - 17's that would go on the front and I would likely buy 275 or 285/40-17's for the rear. I think they would look totally...

    Funny moment...I think this is on topic

    I went over to Tims to help him pull his borked r154. I got there and he already had it out (for what? the 3 time in the last month?). He needed the tail section off it for his rebuilt r154 because it looked like his original was warped or something... anyway, after pulling the tail case off...

    Which AFPR? I was trying to figure out which AFPR to buy for Lucy. I was hoping someone here knows more about them than I do. I figured I would go Aeromotive but when I got to looking at them I got confused. What is the major difference between these 3: 13109 13301 13105 I mean I...
