You think that's bad? Read up on the 300 club in Antarctica! http://theglobalguy.com/antarctica/the-300-club

Hmm... some quick searching leads me to believe it's FP and B+ pins on the diagnostic port.

Ok. You can jumper 2 terminal in the diag plug to activate the fuel pump. DamnifIremember which two off the top of my head, though. JJ would know... hell, he'd probably answer correctly if you asked him in his sleep.

Hot shower will do it. Turn it up until it's uncomfortable, then stay until you start to feel queasy. Get out, dry off, and hit the sack, you won't be cold. As to how we deal with it, well, our houses, clothes, vehicles, everything is built for it. A 'winter' jacket that you buy in Florida...

I did it as well. I had to buy the new gear, because I DON'T own a 20 ton press. It was a stone cold bitch to get out, too, if I had to do it again I might just buy a press! Other than that, it was simple.

Erm... does it have any gas in the tank?

That looks like about the same as what I did - 20+ PSI on a 60-1 CT, stock head gasket, ARPs to 75 foot pounds. Killed it with detonation, same as you. Bad news is, I also cracked three pistons... I suspect that detonation bad enough to push the gasket out that far is also more than the stock...

Correct. I've run a stock headgasket at the correct torque to WAY over the stock power levels without any problems. That said, I did eventually move to a metal gasket just for the extra insurance. Oh, and the metal gaskets don't mess up your sealing surface like the OEM ones do.

You'll get a lot more response when you post in the right forum. Thread moved.

Sounds like they are trying to take you to the cleaners. Time to get your lawyer to serve them an official looking letter.

So, I should save that clip for a while, is what you are saying?

OMG... my 5 year old son ran over here to ask what was so funny. How the FUCK are you supposed to explain this to a 5 year old? I'm still laughing. So far I'm trying to ignore the munchkin.

That's awesome, Lance! SM has passed another milestone, we're now big enough to rig contests in our favour. ;)

It would help an awful lot if you could get pictures of the wheels that are at the correct angle, without the PURPLE lettering. :(

Grumble... or you could follow the instructions that blackkarma posted while I was typing!!!

And here's a hint - ratcheting closed end wrenches will help a LOT. It's really quite basic, though, you pull the upper intercooler pipe, the acordian pipe and air filter from the front of the turbo, heat shields, o2 sensor, and turbo support brackets. Drain the coolant and remove the two...

Where X is a very small number. TV manufacturers don't seem to want to build anything that will last more than 5 years anymore. Bastards. Kind of like the lightbulb industry, bastards have been building in flaws so they can sell more bulbs for years.

Here is the post in question:

Well, I'm not quite as obsessed as some here. Not even close. ;) Anyway, back when I was starting to drive, my first car was a piece of junk, otherwise known as the Ford Pinto. This thing was in sad shape - for example, the inside of the gas tank was rusting enough that every 50 miles or so...

Make certain the pipes and the couplers are clean. A little bit of oil on there will let them blow off at a much lower pressure.
