I installed the Taylor thurnderbollt about 8 years ago and less than 5000 miles on then, I changed plugs this weekend and broke three wires removing them. The metal conductor that connects to the plug pulled out of the wire. And I was being careful I already ordered a set from highway stars. Any...

I am in the process of trying to reduce or eliminate oil leaks. I have installed exhaust scavenging tube in the exhaust to the valve covers. This pretty much did the trick on my Typhoon. I also installed a catch can and check valves to prevent the pcv system from pressurizing the case. Next...

Oh, and one other tip: Stuff a rag or something inside that tunnel behind the pcv valve. Otherwise that sneaky grommet will try to jump back in there and hide from you. Remember to remove the stuffing after you celebrate getting that pesky grommet installed.

Sharing my experience and some tips that may help someone else. I started out just replacing the pcv valve. But when trying to press the valve into the old grommet, the grommet pushed all the way into the intake. At first I went into panic mode. I was able to fish it out with a coat hanger...

I was attempting to change out the PCV Valve and accidently pushed the grommet down into the intake. Not able to see it at all. Now the question is: What if I leave it in there and just get a new grommet? Will it be a problem and cause damage? Or do I have to pull the intake and retrieve it?

But I think it will still work together as you said. The exhaust tube has a check valve so exhaust can't come back up to the intake

Oh, I forgot to mention: I have the exhaust scavenging evacuation system on both valve covers to the exhaust. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BZX4F4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details so not sure how that would work together.

Ah - Great Idea. Thanks

Give me your thoughts on this: factory pcv valve to evil energy catch can non-vented. Then the outlet of the can to a hose with a Tee. From the Tee, one side to a check valve to the distribution block on the throttle body. The other outlet of the Tee to the intake pipe just before the turbo...

what all relies on vacuum from the vacuum ball reservoir?

The scoop is mainly for looks now. I’m going to open it in the back to direct air to my oil cooler

I think the year was 1986 or maybe 87. I was standing on the balcony of my apartment and saw my first Grand National drive through the parking lot. It slowed down for a speed bump, then took off. About 40 feet out it lit the rear tires up. I knew then I had to have one. Only took me about...

Let's see if she learned anything this go-around.

I modified my fiberglass front bumper to allow more direct fresh air to the large RJC Racing front mount intercooler
