    Cam Sensor Cap Failure??

    Hey Keith, I have had several caps fail due to the sensor wire leads inside the cap. Also seen caps 'act up' due to excessive end play. If I buy new I replace the spacer washer with a roller bearing and keep end play to a minimum. Hope this helps.

    Engine Build?

    Realistically low to mid 12's on 91 octane (no alky) should be your goal. On top of what you listed invest in a set of ported irons, FMIC, suspension uprade, Drag Radials and a nice extender chip from Bob Bailey to get into the 11s and possibly high 10s ET. On 91 octane, without ported heads...

    Oil out of dipstick tube

    PVC issue. Had same issue on rebuild with 50 miles and I knew the rings were seated fine after a compression test. Oil out the dipstick all over a nice clean engine. Defective PVC, new from Kirban, was the culprit. Blocked it off or get rid of it.. NC87GN

    Valve spring dampeners

    Do you know where to buy the correct behive springs and retainers? I think I run an 8-10 degree lock as well. They are stock heads with a mild port job.

    Valve spring dampeners

    I was adjusting the preload on my lifters when I noticed I have several valve spring dampeners that are broken. I purchased and installed new valve springs and retainers hoping the problem would go away. Well, to my surprise I am breaking the internal valve spring dampeners again. The cam is...

    I Saved a 87 Turbo T from death. It's now 1Slo-T

    That is a nice color combo. Love the white with black T-tops. 16" X-rims would really make the car shine. Customize the car and make it yours and take your time doing it. You will enjoy it more instead of having a time table. You should build the car to run Richard's Factory stock appearing...

    Hellwig sway bar users...

    Hey Brad, I think going from 17" performance rims and radial tires to 15" weld rims with M/T ET street slick is what your not use to. Your ET street sidewalls have alot more 'flex' compared to the Z rated 17" radials you had. At the track a different story will be told. If it feels unsturdy...

    Syd goes under the knife

    I was at Richard's last night, to drop some parts off, and two young fawns were standing in the parking lot. I am always amazed on how many deer I count when I go up there and return home late.

    need advice about building 200r4

    Replace the stock forward drum with a billet piece. I just broke a stock one on a GN with ~ 300HP.. All the reputable transmission shops typically carry them. Mike Banas 87GN

    This is a great gauge for the price. Had mine over 12 years NO issues and pretty accurate comparing it to cheap alternatives... Good luck with the sale.. Mike Banas 87GN

    Posting for a friend, He is selling his 70 HPQ BB turbo. Purchased from Cal Hartline with about 1000-1100 miles. Only reason he is selling this turbo is he upgraded to a 6776 HPQ BB for a deal he could not refuse. Water lines and HD wastegate are included in this sale. Turbo has gone...
