    ok big problem now

    Everybody is human. However, when trying to diagnose something, don't do this. A happened, then B happened, therefore, A must have caused B. It is flawed logic. Just look at the people here that try to fix their own car, then come running for help because it is screwed up worse than when...

    Guess my Dyno #'s

    You know I went out of my way to make fun of the 1JZ worshippers, and was not close to serious about it.

    Drive train problem

    The shifter moves some any way. How much does it move, and does it move with the clunk? I am guessing no.

    I hate garages

    Two things, what is the rest of the story? Because that is incomplete. Would you mind taking a picture of what they did? Your battery not being secured is an accident waiting to happen.

    ok big problem now

    So what. Did your 93 cause the gouge in the space shuttle too? Because they have just as much in common. Unless you put that 93 in the hydraulic resevoir.

    Drive train problem

    Make sure the transmission mount is not loose. Where is the clunk? Under you, or the back of the car?

    Engine Rebuild. New oil pump?

    How is a long stroke undurable? The most durable engines built are small bore, long stroke engines. When is the last time you saw an oversquare engine last a million miles? That isn't actaully the reason, but over and under square is not relevant to this thread. Oversquare is done for two...

    I hate garages

    Yet you assclowns can't do basic maintenance and repair. Thread after thread of mindless destruction and incompetence. Why don't you ride a bike, since you can't fix your own car, and since technicians are mostly idiots, according to you. Cletus.

    Starter removal

    This is anything but a hard car to work on. Jaguar is one of the shittiest products sold, funny you should metion it. You can't get a wrench in there, but you can can get a torch without burning anything else. Sweet. And no, I am an automotive technician. A torch is not a part of the tools...

    On 87, your knock sensor circuit just has to be wired correctly.
