Yes pm was sent. Did you receive mine?

Adjusted the front and rear coilovers so the car sits higher. Was able to weld in the lower radiator mounts and dropped the engine in place.

Hey thanks:) yes this one also has no rust so it's defenitly a keeper.

Ready to install the Walbro 255 and found this sh*t!The hanger is to rusted to use so I broke the fitting to hopfully save the hose. I then bead blasted the fitting and soaked it in PB blaster. Looks like the hose will be ok. Since the FP is toast I figured I would modify a 1g dsm hanger...

Bump. Make offer on any or all.

Completed alot today. Welded the washers onto the subframe,installed subframe,blead the brakes,put the wheels on and dropped the car off the stands.And I do plan to raise the rear. Im shooting for more race and less rice haha

Here's a pic of the front. I haven't cleaned the calipers Or rotors because I will be swapping them out for brembo rotors and race calipers. I also removed the rear subframe from the talon. Ready for cleaning tomorrow.

Get a 10 cc measuring device. Fill with 8cc of gas and 2cc water. Cap it and shake for 30-60 seconds. Let set for about a min or two and look at the seperation line. If you have more then 1-1.5cc of water over the 2cc you put in you have to high of ethanol content.

Well I got ahead of myself today and forgot to take pics of the cleaned up coilovers. Tomorow I will take some installed on the car. Today I swapped the ABS delete,front 5 lug hubs,front coilovers,talon PS rack, poly swaybar bushings and talon PS res with lines.

Removed the engine and trans today as well as the coilovers.

Thanks:) Im currently soaking my coilovers in PB blaster. To much road grime haha

Haha great team names. And they are a blast to attend. You have a chance to take your car to the limits and be able to find the weak points for further modifications. It's good to see others take such pride in there work and cars as you do. It's a rare quality.

New battery and custom battery holder

It would be great to see you at the tracks. (SIR,PIR, the ridge) If you dont mind a good bunch of people BMW aca and Alfa club track days are pretty fun.

So I'm not an American because I say it's a well known standard that if I personally get a quote from my crankshaft manufacturer for 3 months and I don't see anything for ten? I'm not just pulling this out of my ass. This is the truth I'm sorry you can't understand and or are blinded from the...

I'm glad you figured it out:)

Then it will be even Easyer to find the leak. Hook it to the throttle body flange. Or you can use a smoke tester and install it to one of the ports to the maf inlet tube. Remove the maf and plug the hole.

I would put it all back together and do a boost leak test. You WILL find a leak.

If you don't see anything on the end closest to number 4 cyl I would say yes on the cam gear side.

Just because there is an invisible line seperating us doesn't mean anything. Just saying...

I would inspect the rocker for the same pitting. Looks like the heat treating didn't fair to well.

Most cams will have ether a part number or the spec on the end of the cams. But no not going to be able to determin by the casting marks. It's like determining someones skin color by looking at said persons hand with a glove on it.

Sadly it's happening everywhere in production. We ordered 10 race cranks and it's been 10 months. They say we're next on the list. We have dealt with others and sadly that's how American facility's work. Very few are on time anymore.

Nice lots of pics when you get them:)

3000 is a pretty low rpm.

What are the resistance readings on the isc? Testing the wiring harness. what are the resistance readings from the isc to the ECU?

1600-1650 should be max

Sounds about right on the Egt.

O ya I do see it now:) sorry I was on my phone before and didn't see that:)

Looks normal to me. You have a Wideband to log your afr? I would have pressure tested and smoke tested before tearing everything appart

Need to test your grounds and start cleaning connections.

click This paint will oxidize like a normal gloss paint. It's meant to be flat or semi gloss flat. I prefer a nice gloss finish and feel if you spend all the time to making the body straight why not paint it gloss:) But I will be painting my 57 F 100 with hotrod flatz. But it's more accepted...

I would start by checking everything you did first.

Welcome:)

Have any pics with the engine in the car? And close ups of the engine mounts

Pressure tester!!!!!!

Installed the cleaned up wiring harness as well as mounted the pressure regulator. Also started solid mounting the rear subframe.

Looks to be oem. But even the replacment pumps look that way. The filter is on the firewall pass side.

We use NPR in the race engines we build. They hold up great and seat in well for a good seal.

Did you get number the one cylinder at top dead center? And the crank mark is lined up?

Bump.. Added more parts

Goodluck on the search sir:)

PearsVR4 I don't beleive I was trying to insult you. Mearly stating facts of what works and what is not nessisary. If you want to use RTV and antiseize on everything go ahead. And as far as my user name I purposely used it to weed out and find the tools that try to stoop to highschool tactics...

Welcome I'm sure that's a very rare find on the islands

It's ok pearsvr4 lots of people claim to know what they are talking about. The difference is I have race proven results to back me. Also ARP lube is only recommended for arp hardware when applicable. One more thing the only time a bolt is required to use RTV is when it intrudes into a water...

Barnes I can see if someone wasn't sure on how tight to have the fitting then a torque wrench could help you. But over time you just get a feel for how tight is tight enough. (granted I say this for anything that is not a major engine component.

No I always go with the FSM in regards to torque specs, required sealants, exc.

Pearsvr4 Comming from a race car builder/fabricator. I have never used anti seize on AN fittings due to the chance of them loosening on track. I have seen several other racers that do and have had sealing issues due to the fitting loosening up. But the one thing that i do is clean any and all...

A true enthusiest never stops improving and building. Good luck to you sir:)
