I was thinking if it thinks its cold, it could be dumping extra fuel in for a cold start condition. If the gauge is always reading cold, an open in the ECT sensor circuit or a bad ECT sensor could cause that. But it seems like that's not likely. What about your fuel pressure? -AM3

What does your temperature gauge do when you drive it? Does it show it getting warm?

I think the PO replaced mine with heater hose. Is that bad? -AM3

177K is good for an original HG. -AM3

Its possible, if the injectors are leaking. I've seen it on a few Saturns and more recently my Dad's Ford. Try starting it while holding the throttle all the way open. If it starts up when you do that, I would do an injector balance test. -AM3

Do a compression test. If you have low/no compression on 5 and 6, you may have a BHG (mos likely). But in any case, you will be tearing the engine down at least partially if it fails a compresion test. -AM3

Too much work, but if you do like they did in that build thread, you win at everything forever. -AM3

2nd page and HOLY CRAP! Getting red loctite tomorrow. -AM3

I like the first option better... -AM3

Won't red be tight as hell? Can it even be removed? -AM3

Ok, so I have run into another minor dilemma. My service manual says to use Loctite on the flywheel bolts, but the TSRM says to lubricate them with motor oil. So what should I use? Oil, Loctite, something else, or nothing? -AM3

I chew some gum, and stick a little piece in the socket. Works great, tastes even better. :icon_bigg d -AM3

Thanks! Not too bad on price either. Why didn't I think to look there, I feel dumb, lol. -AM3

I've seen these on a few peoples cars, and I have checked E-bay and the classifieds section, as well as searched, and I can't seen to find any. I was wondering who makes them, and how I can get one, or is it no longer available. Any help would be appreciated, I would really hate to put an ugly...

Seriously, get some ARP bolts, or at least a set of OEM's. You can get OEM's for like $12. And ditch the lightweight crank pulley and get a balancer. Resurface the flywheel and if its safe to use, reuse it, otherwise replace it. And lastly, get a clutch kit since you got it this far apart. -AM3

In this case, I would get the block hot tanked, just because of the fact that there could be rust in your oil passages. Make sure the block is completely stripped down, and replace the freeze plugs as they will possibly be damaged by the hot tank. -AM3

That's the route I'm gonna go in a few months when I have the money. -AM3

If the yard fees are exactly what you got paid for it, this is like screaming the car is destined to be in your possession. DO IT! -AM3

Yeah, because beating it with a hammer sounds like a real legit solution... And sorry to sound pissy, but the arguement you two are having is like a dick comparing contest: Even if you win, its still pretty gay. -AM3

Suggestion: Both of you STFU, because you're not helping me any! -AM3
