    Valve Touched Piston When Crank Turned by Hand.. Insight?

    ^ if/when this motor has to come back out i have a "virgin" head and will let rich sort out the "new" block. Basically I agree, the block and head are on there last run. Sad huh? I've already got another build planned...

    Is there anyone rebuilding Wiring Harnesses?

    Mil spec stuff is quite common and not to pricey for the quality. The stuff I'm going to use is .10-.20 cents a foot. Driftmotion has most of the connectors now on their site as well. Other wise mouser and a few other sites should have no problem getting the correct pins and even most...

    Valve Touched Piston When Crank Turned by Hand.. Insight?

    good catch, so my math has stock quench clearance at .046". I'm just a hair larger.. Oddly this o ring was blue. Im almost positive it came from a "plug" I fashioned from an old compression tester fitting. Couldnt find my old set of plugs at the time.

    Valve Touched Piston When Crank Turned by Hand.. Insight?

    Final UPDATE: found the issue about 20 minutes before I pulled the head back off. At some point I manage to drop an o ring into the cylinder. After careful inspection of the piston through the sparkplug hole I found an o ring flattened half way into the valve relief on the valve in question...

    Cams ok, vacuum help needed

    Biggest concern with the loosening is to avoid breaking the cam itself. Old, worn valve springs have saved more then one cam over the years I'm sure. If the cam looks warped there is no way I'd re use it unless the run out is measured. Even at the max run out, they look straight. I went...

    I wanna know what ecu is better, haltech, microtech, motec, aem, megasquirt, ect

    oh boy where to begin.. This is like asking what type of woman is better. ( or for you ladies, what man). Any answer given is subjective. Its your money. Do the research yourself. I personally dislike AEM, are you going to cross it off your list now? I wouldn't take opinion off the web...

    mk4 brakes to mk3

    mytmk3 posted on this on the other forums. His hubs are not stock. The previous owner of the hubs built the hubs with mk4 caliper mounting points instead of mk3. Apparently where they live any car mods need to look factory to avoid a fine when inspected. It looks as simple as a custom...

    I have an A'pexi NEO....and I just stare at it.

    25psi on a ct26 in any trim is begging to melt something. I would knock it back to 15psi MAX on pump gas.

    mk4 brakes to mk3

    Re-mans are $70-100 a piece for the fronts. I've hear of toyota doing remanneds as well but I dont know the cost. Is a bracket and a hub ring all that would be needed? What about the wheel stud holes? same pattern on the rotors mk4-mk3?

    Wiring help please!

    Start printing the TWED.. At each connector on the diagrams, it will list a letter (a,b,c etc..). At the back of each section that letter will correspond to a picture of the connector. This is going to suck but I would lay out the harness and system by system go through it and make sure...

    Water/Meth and High boost coming. Time for tuning help/suggestions/experience.

    I see I see. I didnt consider that, good point as well. I'm tempted to call a few local tuners..

    Water/Meth and High boost coming. Time for tuning help/suggestions/experience.

    The o2 sensor reads the oxygen content of what is left in the exhaust. It doesnt care what fuel its being fed. Why do you change the scale your looking at if lambda remains the same? Why not leave it on gas? exxample: Gas stoich at 14.7-1.afr Lambda 1. Meth stoich at 9-1 afr...

    Valve Touched Piston When Crank Turned by Hand.. Insight?

    spoke to the shop, its expected to have some leakage given the miles on the valve job. (closer to 28,000 miles after looking at the receipts). all the valves retained the spray silicon lube for 5+ minutes with out any noticeable amount leaking through. Lots of theories on why the valve may...

    Valve Touched Piston When Crank Turned by Hand.. Insight?

    UPDATE: I hit the cylinder with air. I couldnt feel anything at 100psi so i filled the cavity behind the valve with some wd-40 like spray lube. Both valves bubble like boiling water. Tried the #5 cylinder, both vavles on the exhaust also bubbles, but near impossible to feel or hear the air...

    Valve Touched Piston When Crank Turned by Hand.. Insight?

    Thought this over a bit. I'm going to pull the cams back out and see if maybe the HG is rubbing the piston. On initial install the bores cleared perfectly. (83.5mm pistons, 84mm bore on the HG) I did remove all the rivets to clean the HG so maybe something didnt line up like it should...
