It's been a few years since I've been active here, and I'm sad to say goodbye to an old friend I've had since 2007, but it's time to part ways! Vital info: Year: 2003.5 Color: Laser Blue Mileage: 127,000 mi Interior condition: 8/10 Exterior condition: 8/10 Location: Savage, MN (SW of...

Wow, I haven't been here in ages... glad to see there's still some activity on this part of the forum! So I fired up the MSP for the first time in a few months after a bunch of misc work, and I'm greeted with a dead speedo, and the ABS and Brake lights both on steady. CEL came on after a few...

Going to have my block cleaned out, and I'm wondering if anyone knows where to pick up replacement oil galley plugs, or if they are just a universal size? Thanks!

Anyone have one laying around from a part-out or something? Thanks

Long story short... rebuilt my motor this summer. Main and rod bearing clearances were on the high side (.0020-.0028" based on the notes I took), but that was the only anomaly I noted during the build. All said and done my oil pressure was a bit lower than I would have liked it, but I was...

I know knock isn't a good tuning reference per se... but it seems like if there are three open analog inputs (aside from a wideband), it couldn't hurt to at least log some other sensors. Part 2 of the question is, does anyone have a reference for interpreting the knock sensor output? (i.e. A-B...

Short version: Are the O2 sensor wires off the ECU just plain insulated wires all the way, or are they shielded or anything else goofy like that? Long version: I ask because I was wiring up my SSAFC this morning, and as best as I can tell both the primary and secondary O2 sensor wires have a...

Here are the relevant details I can think of: Wiseco pistons / K1 rods New OEM oil pump .020 overbore and align hone on the main caps (no crank machining) Bearing clearances all within spec, but some toward the high end (all stock size bearings) New oil squirters t25 non-ballbearing turbo with...

I was redoing some wiring this afternoon, and when I removed the loom from the bundle containing the O2 sensors I noticed that the black/blue wire from both sensors are joined into a single wire (also black/blue) leading back into the bundle. It doesn't look like the splice is factory (I bought...

I'm making up a bracket for a WGA, and I just wanted to check that my assumptions are correct here before I over or under engineer it. At any time other than fully closed, the WGA is pushing the flapper open and the flow of exhaust gases is also working towards pushing the flapper open. So the...

I can't be the first person to have run into this problem... so this is either a warning to anyone else upgrading to ARP head studs, or a chance for someone to point out what I'm doing wrong. lol First of all, the washers for the studs were just a hair too large in diameter to fit down into the...

I need bolts numbers 2, 3, and 4 in the inset of the attached diagram -- PN 99794-0850, 99794-0860, and 99800-08115. Or I'll take the whole set if you have them. I misread the torque specs and accidentally stretched a few of the bolts to yield (those things are SOFT). I know they are just...

This seems like a dumb question, but is there a gasket or seal between the oil cooler and the block? I took some notes when I was disassembling the motor, but that wasn't one of them. Anybody know off the top of their head?

So, I'm in kind of a tight spot on my build... the shop that ordered my parts ordered the K1 long rods by mistake, and my dumb ass didn't notice it was the wrong part number until I installed my first pair of pistons and saw them pop up past the block deck (braindead (Those long rods are FS...

To make a long story short, the shop that ordered all my build parts ordered 5.400" long rods instead of the OEM 5.315" rods, and I didn't notice until after I got two pistons installed and noticed they were poking up past the surface of the block. (They also ordered me the wrong main studs but...

So, after spending an hour or so trying the "pen magnet in a deep socket" technique and not getting a single retainer freed, I did some reading and decided to pick up one of these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P0ZJIS/?tag=m20b7-20 When I opened up the package I thought it looked a bit on the...

Anyone ever used this stuff before? http://www.permatex.com/products/automotive/automotive_gasketing/gasket_sealants/auto_Permatex_Copper_Spray-A-Gasket_Hi-Temp_Adhesive_Sealant.htm A buddy at work recommended it when using with a MLS head gasket, since they are less tolerant to irregularities...

I just had my block bored for .020" oversized pistons and a line hone done on the mains. All my piston wall clearances came out right at Wiseco's specs, but I'm measuring the main bearing clearances at .0030-.0035", where the shop manual apparently specifies .0009-.0022". From what I've read...

I've been wanting to do some sort of clean-up on the hardware in my engine bay, but I keep running into the roadblock of the specific hardware I want in the material I want only being available in packages of 25-50pcs, when I really only need a couple. I'm already part-way through cataloging...

If anyone has them lying around (in decent shape) and looking to get rid of them... shoot me a PM with your asking price. Thanks!
