I didn't go and fix my downpipe today. I stayed up so late last night that I stayed in this morning and caught up on my sleep. Will try tomorrow. David, how much angle did you need to change it? Do you have anymore curved section of aluminum? Who are you going to have weld it? Is he...

I cranked it like you said Mike, and on the four time I got oil pressure. Only about 10psi though. It sat at about a third way between 0 and the fist line. I'm assuming the first line is maybe 25psi. The second line reads 40. Is that good? EDIT: What in the heck are you guys doing up so...

EFI fuse is pulled. I'll try again before I go to sleep.

You guys aren't going to believe this. All that shit I went through and it turns out that I didn't have the starter's positive cable hooked up to the battery. Don't fucking judge me!! I haven't hooked up a battery to this car in over ten years! I was checking the cable to see how difficult...

Fixed problem. It was the battery cable. So I decided to follow the starter's positive battery cable to see how difficult it would be to replace and found the problem. It wasn't attatched to the battery at all. Yeah, I said it. And I'm so embarrassed & ashamed of myself. Starter cranks...

That's 44lb/ft with the plugs out. No compression. Which is terminal B again? Is it the little plug in one? Or the one with the 12mm bolt?

A little background. Shortblock was rebuilt roughly 3 years ago. May 2010 I rechecked the torque specs on the rod and main bolts before I put the oil pump and pan on. It was still lubed up good. I tried starting the car past two weekends and the starter will not turn over the motor...

Put oil in the holes to try to lube the rings. No luck on that. The start will not crank over the engine. I put my torque wrench on the crank bolt to see how much torque it would take to turn it. 44lb/ft of torque is what it took. Apparently it's too much for a starter to turn. I'm gonna...

Bottem end. :icon_frow It's the culprit. The cams turn easily. I just took off the top timing cover, loosen the tensioner, pulled off the timing belt from the cam sprockets. Turned the bottom end and it was still hard to turn. Its still turns though. I tried to start the car to see if the...

I think I'll work on it a little at a time in the mornings before I have to go to work. Hopefully by this weekend I'll get to the bottom of why it's so hard to turn. We shall soon see.

Ok, went to Darrell's to pick up the starter tonight. Got back home and put it on. Turned the key and get the same results. You can hear the solenoid pop out, but not turn. That engine is too damn tight. I even tried turning the crank bolt while my wife started the car to see if it would...

That little kid was lucky he didn't continue to get stomped. I sure as hell would have put him into the hospital... and have done so in the past. I don't believe in just teaching bullies a small lesson. I used to stomp them straight onto a stretcher. One way trip to the emergency room...

http://deadspin.com/#!5782089/revenge-of-the-bullied-casey-becomes-an-icon Shut his ass down. I bet that bully will never touch him again. Notice how his taller friend tried to buck up after the little one got the shit slammed out of him. But he still didn't do anything. I bet he was...

Ok, cool. Yeah, I hope it's not the block. When I had it on the stand It wasn't that hard to turn. I don't think the cams were bent. They went on without issue. All the valve clearances are within spec. I dunno. We'll see soon. My starter did seem a bit weak. I've seen other starters...

You know Mike I was thinking, maybe my engine is a little tough to turn over because now it's turning both cams against spring loaded valves. That and it a fresh built shortblock I guess. I really hoping it's my starter. Have Darrell call me so I can set up a time to visit him so I can nab...
