Is it possible you have a cracked head? Just grabbing at straws here. How did your compression, or cooling system pressure test go?

What was the cause for the engine rebuild? Overheated & BHG? Rod knock? High milage with very low compression?

Today went to my friends to use his welder to tack the DP is was fixing. Tomorrow morning I'm going to mock it up and see if that'll do it. I'll have to drag down my desktop PC to the garage to load up a fuel table to my MAP ECU. Monday morning I'm going to finish welding the DP for good...

Pull each of the plug wires from 1, 2 & 3 at the coil pack while running and see if you're getting spark. Do it with a pair of pliers so you don't get zapped doing so. Any visible coolant seeping outside the block? Did you have the block decked, and if so did you do it with timing...

Glad to hear she's ok. Do you have any pics of the damage? I might be able to come over Sunday to have a look see.

I had the same problem not long ago and it turned out that I didn't have the starter wire hooked up to the battery. It was tucked under the intake manifold hiding. Take your jumper cables and run it straight from your positive side terminal to your starter. That will bypass your starter...

Gotta creep to get stuff done. I can't do that because my wife is so afraid that the car will fall on my and kill me ethat she'll wake up out of her sleep to come check on me. Well at least she still cares about me... just not my car.

This weekend I really tried to get in the garage and tighten up the loose ends. I've got the grinch breathing down my necking everytime I try. I tell you she really doesn't like me being happy. Everything I do to this car is "stupid and a waste of money" she says. Well hell, it's my hobby...

Why not buy his, take it to a welder/fabricator, and see what he'll charge you to recirculate it. He is willing to meet you halway which I think is awesome. I'd bet it'll still be cheaper than paying $200+ shipping (~$36). I've shipped a DP before and that's what it costed me to ship. Just a...

It's functional... right? But it makes me feel better about my welding. :icon_razz

Not really. I went to my sons soccer game this morning. Got back home and did some yard work. Ate lunch, and now I jumped in here to see what's going on. Tomorrow I'll get back on it. The only thing I'm really waiting on is this downpipe. It'll get done though. Hey, when can I get...

I know who Noriega is, and the amazing stuff his shop puts out. I know some of his fabricators too. I'm just poor. That sums it up. That's why I do most of this stuff myself.

Yeah. I think I'm gonna get the fitting on really good, mark where it needs to be welded, and pay this welding shop to do it. He's reasonable, and can run better welds than I can. Then again, I think anyone can weld better than me.

I went to my friends shop to use his welder to correct my downpipe angle this morning. I waited there only to realize he wasn't going to show up because he had a cycling accident. He collided with another cyclist and dislocated his elbow, and it poked through his skin. I found out when a...

^ Bingo! I bet money he did.

The wire that I said felt flimsy was the thin one that goes into the main harness. I was wondering why it wiggled so easily on the terminal. I'm used to the positive cable going to the starter much thicker and not as easy to wiggle around. Well, the damn thing was hiding under the intake...

David: Good to see that you've got that covered. Mike: Did you capture some good footage on your camera phone? Lets see. Not much progress here. Put the spark plugs back in. Timing cover back on, belts back on, radiator back in, and swapped my starter back in. It cranks over too, so...

Family is usually where it starts. Either the poor kid is getting abused at home wether it's neglect, physical, or sexually to where he has so much anger inside to where he lashes out on the weak and defenseless. Or the parents themselves and bullies and teach their kids to be that way...

:ugh: Why? What did you hear?

Hey Mike, enjoy the Thunder Down Under show. :momaru:
