    VSV needed to operate the heater?

    If I remove my A/C, I should be able to use the heat if I remove (or bypass) the VSV too, correct? Edited due to piss poor grammer :nono:

    Brandon, Florida R154 peoples.....

    He did mine last year. I think I paid $550 or so total for it. I won't say that it was a level 10 job because I still had a stock (refurb'd though) torque converter, but it was freakin stout. I hope Sirus enjoys it. :biglaugh: BTW, I just checked about the bracket, it hasn't been mailed...

    Con rod/crank play (video)

    No, it is not normal, that is rod knock. The car they pulled it out of was sent to the junk yard because the owner ran it out of oil.

    Oil Pan Mania!!! Ahhhh!!! Help!!!!

    Do they fall apart? No, they don't, but they do wear. With wear comes larger margins. With larger margins comes more bypass. The more bypass you have, the lower oil pressure you make which leads to rod knock (hense 0 oil pressure followed by rod knock). But use your old pump, it doesn't...

    Brandon, Florida R154 peoples.....

    I have a local transmission rebuilder who happens to be a good friend. He's done work for me on my A430, so I can say his work is top notch. After talking to PSIFactor, I decided to call him about getting her & my R154 overhauled. For a single tranny, he'll charge $300 for the benchwork...

    SUPRADAN's REBUILD/SWAP/RESTORATION

    I agree, that looks far to pitted to put a MHG on. That's enough to bite into the MHG & cause a BHG. Thake it back & have it cut some more before you go any further.

    Code 24 and won't fire - any suggestions?

    Did you ask him when the last time the fuel filter was changed? If you find that he has spark, my bet will be no fuel is making it to the motor.

    I need a good boost controller

    Admittedly, the AVC-R takes a little time to learn. A week or two, but with its' fuzzy logic, it rocks. Playing with the duty cycle reduces spool quite a bit. There's quite a few more features, you should read up on them (and the other EBC's) before making you decision. I don't sell them...
