i try my best not to break stuff, its not like i love using my special tools, but sometimes at work its a lot like that banjo bolt, theres just certain parts that are notorious like that. i work on diesel's and they come from all over the country sometimes...mostly tx but when that northern...

very good point...never thought about which tool i would rather have break (theyre all going to at some point) not that id like either to break...but IF it did, youre absolutely right. since this is turning into a "remove broken/stuck hardware trick"... stuck hardware blue wrench (torch)...

<<<<defeated yet again, lol. ive seen that tool before but never knew it had quite that much bite, ij never fails to amaze. i just use whats in my toolbox and they havnt failed me yet...though i usually use them on bolts, i like the fact that theyre short and have the hex head. so if youre...

that one may work, but this is the style i like to use... whatever you do, dont use these...unless its something new(ish) i wouldnt even waste my time with one of these worm style, ive broken way too many and you cant get them out.

bhg'ed for the last time...fully built/balanced this time. now i think the turbo is burning a little oil...other than that its great again, the fun never ends.

also id like to add that i just changed out to accell universal wires (8mm) and i relocated my coilpacks because im running n/a valve covers and mounting them became an issue. i relocated the coils to the lower intake manifold, this way i dont have to extend my factory wiring. after swapping...

try another set? basically like stated before you could hook up a fuel pressure gauge in the rail...jumper the fuel pump, and as you manually pulse each injector that pressure will change. after you write down each pressure change, then you can somewhat determine which is most out of whack...but...

spare no expense if you want more than 500...and like stated, a LOT of research is in your future. youll read of people making 700+ on stock everything and hella boost, and then duanes 1000hp+ magazine car and most of all-7m hatred and how for the same price you could swap a 2j...stock 2j, but...

ill be willing to try new coil packs/coil over plug setup...but id rather give the injectors a try since its technically a moving part and will wear out quicker and relates more to our "hard start after sitting". now, what size do we try? 550's seem to be the norm but for my overall goal with...

id rather not trust a heli coil for my seat belt, but thats just me...theyre great for exhaust studs and such but i look at it this way, would you heli coil your brake caliper? i think the best solution would be to cut the original nut thats welded to the floor and weld a new one on, but thats...

i just swapped my new shortblock so i dont know if my problem has went away yet (only ran it for a few minutes to bleed the coolant and check for leaks) anyways... i always remember having this same issue. i can say that ive tried 3 different types of spark plugs and none helped the issue...not...

i know exactly what you mean, i didnt take it personally as you were talking to me but just thought id clarify to the op as to my posting i know how this place can get with bad advice given, its just another reason i come here quite often for tech. though, SF will always be my true home...

agreed. i work in the diesel industry and they smoke like no other when a turbo/cracked head/valve stem seals fail, youll def get that cloud of smoke creep up on you at stops...if the smoke is thick enough that you can see for a few seconds its usually oil. like the #2 post says, pop off your...

apologies if you took my post as some sort of advice...mine was really just to give you an idea of such cost. ij is right, i havnt quite made it there yet if you didnt get that from my post so please dont take my setup as being bulletproof, there are a lot of different ways to make huge power...

i found a built shortblock i haggled for 1400, 89+block, eagle, wiseco .20's ceramic/teflon coated, arp everything, new oil pump, decked .6mm, balanced 6m crank (lighter than 7m+even lighter when balanced) king bearings, all new seals/gaskets/freeze plugs (which will get ditched in the "going...

arp studs ftw...especially if you have any question of rust/debris in the threads (no matter how small) with bolts, your torque values can be skewed, but with studs all of the torque is applied at the top end of the new fastener...no question of mis-torquing with these. btw, you should still run...

this is even more win, pininfarina badge...anyone not in the know for italian cars, pininfarina used to be a customizing shop and they did everything from mild body tweaks, interior, etc...the thing is, pininfarina cars are probably the most discreet/tastefully modded cars youll ever see. now...

great sticky here! just saved me a hunt over on sf. i have a question about the titan headgaskets...are they still just cometic rebranded? will a cometic gasket hold up as well as an hks when shooting for 500+?

since the label gave me the results for "pure water" were on par, i would only assume the same with a 50-50, or 25-75 mix scenario also. less coolant the better the stuff works. i never really did much research on the stuff as far as compatability, but i never noticed any warning labels about...
