    Winter storage for alky system???

    Yep. Pump out all the alky and put in just enough of the blue stuff to start pumping thru. Then I just filler up with meth come spring. Water alone in there would be keeping me up at night too!

    Engine guys please help!

    The fuel pressure is being logged in powerlogger and has always behaved correctly but I replaced pump and wiring anyway since it was old. I have measured and tracked fuel pressure with boost via PL extensively last season while trying to find my "false knock" problem. The fuel rail was cleaned...

    I used something like this with a can of carb cleaner to clean the second set prior to install. injector tester The first set was then removed and sent to Grant Farmer and he did his thing measuring flow using cleaning fluid, etc. There was essentially no difference in the flow before and after...

    I was. Will double check again tomorrow …

    Engine guys please help!

    I verified that FP wasn’t dropping once turned off since I suspected a leaker. Then I pulled the set I bought from a friend that switched to E85. Bought a low mile set with TT6.1 from someone here for my T but hadn’t installed. I cleaned them and once installed i checked that set for fuel...

    There are 2 pics one without DI in background and one with. Both are supposed to be showing #1 pushrod height at overlap TDC against straight edge of ruler on pedestal behind.

    Take a look at the #1 pedestal. There is a ruler laying across. You can see the pushrods the motor is at overlap TDC. Their height looks even to me. The DI is actually just suspended in the background not really on the retainer as it appears… that’s why I said to ignore. Lol

    ok guys sorry for the delay here. After several unsuccessful attempts at getting the DI measurements, I've decided to take a shot at this and see what your thoughts are. Ignore the DI in the first pic. Here are a couple of pics of pushrods at TDC on overlap stroke. To me they seem very even, not...

    So probably not the tune but data may help diagnose....There is no EGT or EGR, the (Caspers) fuel pressure sensor is off calibration so it reads low (maybe 10-15 psi I have to dig out my cal data) I did verify pump/regulator performance and replaced pump anyway since it was 20 years old. LS1...

    Engine guys please help!

    Yes, thank you. It ran really nice right off the start with chip default last time, crisp, clean idle, easy start, no smoke, just that stupid knocking! I keep trying to think of anything that could be different ....but should be exactly the same as before. However compression is borderline and...

    I can post my data page from Powerlogger. I guess we're discussing 2 things but I was hoping they are related. I turned alky off and boost down but I don't have a non-alky chip so if I was going to get into the tune, I'd need to clean some of those items up.

    Engine guys please help!

    Before I took apart for cam test I put in a new set of AC R43TS plugs and ran around 20 minutes with a couple WOT's boost was around 15-16 psi. Still idling chunky and smells rich. #2 looks wet but rest seem ok. I forgot to change the default target AFR on my TT6.1, maybe I should switch to the...

    I do not have a good way to mount the dial indicator. I have to rest it and it's difficult to align so the pushrods move freely. OK here is what I was able to get. I rotated the motor around to find the base circle and set zero on the DI. Then rotated to overlap TDC and measured rod lift. Did...
