    Overheating (hey whats new)

    To me it does not sound like a BHG really unless there are some other symptoms. I would: check for exhuast or oil in coolant. Or coolant in oil (this would pretain to a BHG.) make sure there is no debris in front of anything. (leaves, bugs infront of the radiator or condenser. flush...

    What for is this tranny pillow?

    I'd keep it. I don't totally know why its there, but anything supporting the motor/trans assembly I would not mess with.

    question on the clutch snap ring

    Maybe I should clarify a little more now that I'm more awake. Basically I didn't try and stretch it over the screwdriver to get it to go on. I started it on, and then I believe I actually just pushed down on it with a flathead, then took the little tiny flathead and just held what i had pushed...

    I use a new factory one (my car didn't come with one when I got it) and it works fabulously.

    JBL has some very nice stuff IMO. I'm sure that they are of good quality.

    question on the clutch snap ring

    I had a friend who didn't care if his fingers got pinched and a screw driver to pry the edge around. Took me probably about 5 min.

    running without a dp

    Open elbow does sound like junk. I tested my clutch for the very 1st time with no exhaust. It runs fine and all. But I would never drive it like that.

    Would you port/polish the head yourself if you had the tools?

    No I would not. I do not have the experience, flow tools etc to tell how the porting went; or even what in the world I'm doing anywho.

    They are quite pricey. But they eliminate that pesky center bearing and drop a substancial amount of weight. http://suprasport.com/product.asp?itemid=267

    Under drive Crank Pulley

    Whats the deal with the owners manual capacities?

    Yep its there. I actually just ignored it thinking "how much could be in there" turns out, about 1/2 gallon somehow. Every time I drive it now I see a bit less in the overflow. And since I'm dead posotive there are no leaks it must be filling in some air gaps. I do hear *some* waterfall; but...

    Whats the deal with the owners manual capacities?

    That must have been what I did. I didn't open the drain on the block; I'll admit it. dumbass mistake. I do know that there is not any residual bad coolant left in there tho since I did run the prestone flush kit and backflushed the whole system for like 5 minutes. Perfect clear water emerged...

    bigger tired mess with speedometer?

    I thought what I had was a new gear when i did my 4.30 swap. turns out its the same one; and since I don't have money to buy all new gear oil I guess I'm just going to have to wait until the next maintenance interval.

    Whats the deal with the owners manual capacities?

    So I'm putting in coolant today and I look it up in the manual and for a turbo-auto car The capacity comes out to be like 2.1 gallons. (8.something L) So I go ahead and dump a bottle of coolant in; and then I get like another 1/4 gallon of water in before its overflowing out the cap. I would up...

    Under drive Crank Pulley

    I can tell you that the General consensus (sp) on them is that they mathematically can cause main/rod bearing failure due to crank harmonics that are not being dampened by the Pulley. From what I know; there are no 100% posotive cases that link the pulley DIRECTLY to bottom end distruction. It...

    Did you wire it in with the harness or did you try and splice it in by yourself?

    Thoughts on why my clutch died after 8k miles

    They have so much good reputation tho I find it hard to believe that a couple people in this thread make the norm for thousands or installations.
