Yep, I didn't remember that I have a FFI now. LOL.:icon_bigg
I still need to address my oil cooler situation. Right now, all I have is the stock set up & Allan would blow a gasket as he did in your build thread. :biglaugh:
Nice set up jdib. You must have an assload invested in your car. If you don't mind, could you go over your whole oil cooler set up (adapter, thermostat, ect)? That's one of the few areas I haven't addressed yet.
I raised it up again, I'll have to get a picture.
So just after I'm finished typing my last post, I walk into my garage to find a kid, maybe 16 or 17 years old, walking into my garage as I walked in! He said he was wondering if I wanted him to "cut the grass or power wash my driveway". I...
No, the bottom of the IC is about a 1/2" higher than the bottom of the front lip. I'm guessing here, but I think it's about 2" below the cross member.
not certain about the oil cooler, but I'm thinking about putting it between the IC & the radiator.
Actually, I did, but I miscalculated the angles & lenghts needed to make my brackets. Here's the revised brackets. The bottom of the IC will be protected by my lip.
For $3500 you can find another complete GTE car which will have all the parts you need to swap the power train and then you can part the rest to recover close to half of you money for new parts such as a clutch & HG.
My wife rocks, period. She's hot, really cool & loves to watch college football. Most importantly, she has never given me a hard time about buying something for the MKIII. Well, I did have to buy her another oven after the botched ceramic coating incident ;).
She rocks, I couldn't ask...
Here's a little problem. I'm not exactly sure what the clearances are, although the motor is assembled & waiting to be picked up. My machinist died a few hours after assembling my motor, so there's no way of telling what the exact clearances are. While I'm 99% positive that he has the...
that makes sense. Switching to a full flow (ie getting rid of the relief valve) would solve that problem, right? Fot the record, I'm looking for some added protection from rod knock.
I ask this out of curiosity, but if the main & rod bearing clearances are a little looser than what the TSRM calls for, but the oil pump is shimmed, would there still be an increased risk of trouble?
