Well I have a very occasional light knock/tick/noise coming from the engine area that only occurs when I'm accelerating. I've never been in a car with any sort of rodknock so I don't know if this is what the beginnings of RK sounds like or if its nothing related at all. I dont know if its the...

hahaha, At the end: "How's your temp?" I suspect the answer was: "high"

20 hours work + 16 credit hours of engineering + more homework than anyone should be doing = My life.

I was under the impression headbolts were torqued to an amount that did infact cause mild yield or at least enough stress that they should not be unloaded and loaded again, maybe even beyond the original stress. Although my motor has had 4 HG's and I'm not sure new Headbolts were used on any so...

But no more knock? Was the "knock" just the stutter of the spark plugs not firing or being coated in oil? A knocking motor is much different from a few cylinders simply not firing due to bad plugs. I'm more than a little confused with your ongoing predicament.

There is no "right way" to reuse a headbolt from what I gather. Don't risk it. Buy some new ones. OEM's are fine, just get new ones.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!! I look forward to seeing some of the best inspiration around. :)

I got my studded snows put on a week ago and now its been sunny and hot. Stupid colorado. The weather can turn from 75 to snowing in less than 30 hours. Its seriously supposed to snow next week and this week has been 60-75. I feel dumb with my studs now, but it'll be great when that first snow...

NA's all have a 4.3 diff Turbo's came with 3.91 and 3.7 Both of the turbo set-ups would give you better highway gas mileage, but you may actually lose mileage in the city. I'd say, unless you find one cheap, you'd pay more on the diff than the savings you would gain. ***Edit: DOH...

Outside or not, thieves blow. I really dont understand the bullshit mentality of people (cough, cough, theives...) thinking its not that bad to steal if someone left something out in the open. Stealing an unlocked (even running) car is still nothing more or less than stealing a car. Its a...

I'm pretty sure the combustion leak test coming back positive is a near 100% sure BHG. :dunno: Sounds like it would be wise to prepare for a rebuild or swap.

paper towel in moly grease is what worked for me, i believe. Either that or toilet paper.

Ya I just noticed that actually. I didn't know the blue book for mkiv's was so high. I thought it was priced low, but not scam-material. But i was wrong. Sorry for any time wasted.

Well the clip isn't really a big deal. Wire strippers and some wire insulation and a junk yard clip and you're good as new. Right?

I'm surprised you made money. Actually, I don't really believe it. Sorry, I've heard of that site before. Sounds like complete horse shit. A marketing scam gone awry.

It carries a different connotation when white people use it. Remember a thing called slavery? I think its very insensitive for any white person to use it in any form, much more so if used in a condescending fashion. But this is really another topic. Dog = White trash and that's all there is...

I took engineering design and modeling or something like that freshman year, 1st semester. Played with SOLIDWORKS all day long for quite some time. Cool program, much smaller learning curve than the more advanced CAD programs I'd seen. I modeled my laptop cuz I was dumb and hadn't started my...

Razo, how was your oil level when it ate shit? Any idea what caused it?

x100 He's also right about the width, that can make a huge difference. My snows are the alternative skinny size for us, 205/55/16. The still look mostly normal and I bet they'll grip like crazy in the snow. :)
