Well, if you do it with the wrong parts your ABS will not work anymore, plus there is a risk of undesired ABS operation occurring. IMO, you should fix the car right and use the correct parts (unless you plan on removing the ABS completely)

Look at the side of the block that has the holes that overlap the oil pan. Insert either small prybar that fits in the hole, or large screwdriver. Pry oil pan downwards from both locations while inserting smaller screwdrivers to hole the pan away from the block while you re-set the prybars...

Gogo Jay, dance it up! YOU could be a Youtube star!

A speedo cable, the shorter of the 2. Relatively common break point.

So did you ever put that thing in the car? :p

Better swap: 3M in a mk4. Make SF cry... :biglaugh:

I'm left feeling "Why" anf "WTF" on this one... Anyways, modern cars just om nom older stock cars, even if they were good stuff in their day. Just a whole new breed out there now.

Lol, Mike the work hound :p No, I haven't done anything yet. Block is still stripped, head is waiting to be dropped off at Einer's for the porting and the valves, but I just haven't felt like touching cars after work lately...

Perhaps time to buy a lift? :P Did ATI send you the flex plate or was it an OEM unit? Might be worth checking its cocentricity next time the trans is out (not that you wanted to hear that phrase) Only other things I can think of would be the oil pump in the trans, possibly the input shaft...

I'm using a spec stage 3+ on my 7M and love it, however I have found the limits of its performance. I was at ~400-450hp last year prolly with ~380ish tq (never dyno'd, just guesses based off of current nubers) and it couldn't hold a no-lift shift at redline if the tires gripped, so bear that in...

I would call comp turbo and see what they want you to run. It's the only way to be sure!

lolz, Emilio rage :P I prose you this question however: If not blue, what color paint goes with gold rims? (assuming professional finish)

You should look for Neoz's pictures. He did that to his car and it looked pretty decent. Not my fav, but it worked

I agree, an absolutely essential tool to have if you ever work on a car's cooling system. Works like a dream ;)

FYI, I lifted my head on the exhaust side and did a cold leakdown test- came up with 25-35% across the board. I knew there was a HG issue so I did a different type of leakdown test. I used a compression tester adapter and remove the schrader valve, rolled the engine to TDC on each piston, hooked...

RC shock oil. Was going to do 5000wt, but went with the recommended 3000.

I needed 2 bottles- I drained the thing completely for about a day and a half. We'll see if its any better- as long as it moves the air I'm happy.

I'm OK with risking $8 rather than going for the full $226 right away.

Valves arrive today, as well as the rest of the silicone oil for the fan clutch, whoo hoo! Once the valves are in hand I can get the head out for porting and valve fitting :D Block is completely torn down and there's nothing really worth noting there. Working out piston coatings for the...

Which new V8? The 5.7 and 4.6 are both enormous engines. I mean fracking humongous! All the new engines are going that direction...
