When I left, the new 4.0 V6 was interference. I think the 2ZZ-FE was also, but maybe not.

I got to say, you are normally better than this. 'Cause that statement was bullshit. Or at least how you are presenting it. The belief that the W58 is a weak sister, and the R154 can do no wrong, is wrong. Look at the R154 threads. One has ruined several just by using too strong of a clutch.

What are you talking about? The compressor on the turbocharger? The A/C compressor?

No, it wasn't.

That is the GM way.

Thanks for the license plate idea.

I haven't personally seen a Honda run faster than 11 that wasn't trailered either. And it was gutted, hacked, and sacked. Not close to streetable. This was a few years back, and the ricers finally figured out that boost is artificial displacement, and they should be faster by now.

If Toyota sells a 5.0 V8 in a rear drive sport coupe at a reasonable price, I would consider it.

I asked about the ball bearings because I have heard a few times firsthand about their ball bearing center sections taking a shit prematurely. I personally would sacrifice a little bit of spool for long life.

You need a new cat.

Do a voltage drop test. You have high resistance on either the power or ground side. edit: I guess I shouldn't assume anything. Voltage drop is having the leads on the same wire, not doing a potential between two wires. Put one at the power source, the other at the light. Then switch to...

Fear of breakage sounds right. Dumping the clutch at 6000 RPM may earn you a tow truck ride home.

Well, a clutch is supposed to gradually engage engine torque. A superstrong one will give your trans a loading shock if you dump the clutch. Or learn to disengage the clutch when shifting. Or maybe quit shifting like a gorilla. So how exactly is it blown?

Another incorrectly installed cam position sensor?

I paid $47 USD for a fill up of 14 gallons or so late last week.

I have a prefrence to Mother's and Meguirs, because the guys that worked in our detail shops prefered that as the over the counter products.

When the engine is cold, the mixture is much richer, because it is easier to light. But as the engine warms, the ECU leans it out to a different mixture. If you have a mechanical problem, such as that 10", you need to stay rich to light off. I think JJ is looking at the right thing.

No. But it can. Yep. The engine was not meant to run on sugar water. Nothing to be sorry about.

Over advanced timing can do it too.

A little bit white is fine. Just so you know.
