Poineer: Yes, your right, I'm from Wisconsin. Green bay area. I will also be going to the track on friday to beat it some more!!!!!! I ran mid 12's before. Now I hoping for low 12's---High 11. We'll see.
IJ: I know it's affected, but the question is, "How is it affected?" And how to...
Yeah, I have 550 miles on it already. Got it running five days ago. Should have almost 600 by tomorrow after work. So far I have only pushed 10 psi. but have already ran it up to 6000 rpm's.
I assembled this motor myself, so I feel pretty confident. (Famous last words) So far it has...
How would I know where to adjust the cam gears to? It sounds like a possible answer to get it back to original timing. Right now it seems to pull great and idles well at 6-8 degrees. I'm going to the dyno tomorrow, so i guess we'll see. Before the rebuild I had 350 RWHP and 400 RWTQ. I'm...
I bought the car with a BHG. Timing at 10 degrees and it ran and idled good. Put in a 2MM MHG and had 5 thousands taken off the head to true it up. Nothing off the block. I timed it at 10 and it still ran and idled good.
Now I had another 6 thou. off the head and 9 thou. off the block...
I was cleaning the Flex plate after an engine overhaul (it had 139,000 miles on it) and saw the damage. My car is only putting out about 350RWHP and 400RWTQ. The Center of the flex plate is almost ripped right out!!! I have a 3000 stall converter and a built auto and can rip off a pretty good...
Thanks TurboA and Supra girl, but after seeing Defiant's piston sticking out,(holy---) I feel pretty confident my motor will be OK.
And thanks for the picture Allan, you have put my fears to rest.
By the way, I had posted a while back about which bearings to use. I was concerned because...
I called the machine shop and asked them to check to see if there are limits to the amount that can be removed from the head. They said the reference manual does'nt have any max or min head thickness. It only lists' what the stock head hieght is.
I really don't want a high comp motor. I...
I needed to rebuild after 140,000 miles, so I put in .020 over JEG pistons. I know that the 7M is supposed to be a non-interference engine but the piston actually comes out of the block a little bit!!
There was .009 taken off the block and the head has been shaved twice .005 the first time...
