Just remember when they run out of Hondas they will move onto something else, maybe your car?

The "boob" and I got the finishing touches put on the GN we are working on, and got it fired. It's idling around 1000 - 1100 RPM, and I have tried setting base idle via procedure followed by TPS which seems to help for a minute then it's back to same problem. NO vacuum leaks I have looked and...

I see some beak marks :rolleyes: Aaah Aaah...:biggrin:

Thanks, The instructions for the Victor bolts and the Buick Shop Manual were both exactly the same so I can only assume the bolt design is exactly the same as far as stretch etc.:confused:

Well I got my hands on one of the big Buick shop manuals, and it says the exact same thing, if you reach 60 lbs tq on the first 90*, leave it. Looks like thats the procedure on the TTY bolts. :smile:

Putting a GN motor back together for someone and he bought these torque to angle headbolts. The instructions call for 25 lb tq, then step 2 90*, step 3 90*, but under this it says "60 tq may be reached during step 2, if so do not repeat step 3. Installing the bolts sure enough it hit 60 ft...

Wow, blue tops going 11.0s and TA 49s on stock long blocks in the 10:eek: Does anyone know if a guy by the name of Mannie Ecker still runs his black Turbo T? Just curious as he did some work on a buddies GN years ago [1996] and I have some runs of his car at Dragway 42, going back to mid...

Small world Heh.. Gator just did a ported inline intake for me not too long ago. I have an 84 SVO. Has a ported E6, LA3 EEC & brown tops, Bob lee Elbow, 3" d/p, fuel mods, and all the other basic stuff you do. Just put some Draglites and ET Streets on a few weeks ago.. Hope to go low 13s or...

Hey Tim, Glad to hear the problem wasn't something big. That would totally SUCK. Back in spring of 1999 I spent a ton of money having someone do a total rebuild to the engine in my Limited only to have to pull it back out... :mad: Needless to say I never let that "someone" near my car...

If the block was worked on by a machine shop, be sure to check to see if the machine shop put those 2 little coolant drain plugs back in each side of the block. The removed mine and never put them back in... I didnt notice, so we assembled my engine... and when we got the thing all done and...
