    Started the Valve Cover gasket replacement *pics*

If you don't understand something or it's not clear in the manual, somebody on here will be able to help. Like suprerxnut said, good job trying and...

    **I have a question about down shifting**

    Pretty much works on most cars, you want to be in that power band when you are ready to exit the corner. I could see why it would be more useful with a turbo.

    Lean spike free-reving

    I just noticed a lean spike free-reving to around 4k rpm. Around 16AFR. Under normal driving AFR's are normal around that RPM. Maft-Pro SD/ LM-1 O-2. Is there some other adjustment I'm missing?

    **I have a question about down shifting**

    You should be downshifting BEFORE you get to a corner not when you are in the turn, "slow in fast out".

    Started the Valve Cover gasket replacement *pics*

    The only thing that concerns me is getting dirt soforth in the sealing surface for the plugs and not getting a good seal. Oil would burn off in the cyl. but you wouldn't want dirt, bugs and shit down in the cyl. That's why I try to get as much as I can out and after that wipe the sealing surface...

    If you could have any aftermarket part what would it be?

    Everybody wants some pretty cool stuff on this thread, including me. But I was always told "want in one hand, and shit in the other and see which gets full first".

    Identifying Cams

    If they are reground cams, it would be hard to tell wouldn't it? Mine are regrounds, and I can't tell other than measuring the lobe height. It's easy enought to do with a set of mics. and compare it with the specs. They should be 1.4961 in. Journal diameter should be no.1` 1.0610 to 1.0616...

    1990 N/A starting problems and idling issues...

    The CSI still could be your problem. If it is stuck in the open position then it would always squirt a extra amount of fuel, the way I understand it. Have you checked the timing?

    Started the Valve Cover gasket replacement *pics*

    Kind of depends on how tore up the old one's are. I was able to use my original stock ones a couple of times, but the ones I got from a complete gasket set sucked, the rubber seal on them tore with one time usage. I guess if you have to use them see what happens if they are in decient shape.

    motor in, chug chug chug, poof!

    Yes. line up your cam gears your #1 TDC, your crank on the 0 and then check your rotor and make sure it's one the #1 wire. After it starts, should after all is lined up, then time it with a timing light, remember to jumper TE1 and E1 in the Dianostic box.
