There has been dumber posts on here......... right?

Yep.....

LMAO!!!!! I guess I am providing the comedy on this site today! I have owned this car for 10 years and I always thought L8 (engine load) was LB (oil pressure). I feel like a total dipshit......haha!! I went out and found the printed off (tuning with a scanmaster) sheet the old owner gave me and...

I am not sure if I understand your question. I have been keeping 1 eye on the scanmasters oil pressure reading while driving. I have put maybe 40 miles on this engine in only a few trips around the county. Michigan is unpredictable this time of year so next week when it is suppose to be dry and...

I have a new 3.8 engine I purchased that was never fired. Because the builder is deceased I do not know how it was put together. My oil pressure hot is 22lbs at idle, just tap the gas and it will hit 50, 45-60lbs steady driving at 2500-3000 rpm. When I hammer it I have seen pressure pushing...

I definitely need the antifreeze in the middle of Michigan! I would rather store the car in the living room somehow but the woman don't agree..... Ha! I am 99% sure it has cometic gaskets. This is the first engine for a project I have NOT built myself. All other engines I put together were sbc...

Have you used the sealing tablet yourself pacecarta? I figured if I pulled the stud out and resealed I would do a re-torque on the heads after a few heat cycles just to make sure I had an even torque. I am worried about creating more leaks if a stud turns though..... maybe if I do I will try the...

Thanks Chuck for the reply and advice. No..... it has the cast iron champions on it.

Hi all, someone will probably point to a million treads on this issue that I missed....... I bought a freshly, never fired, rebuilt engine from a guy that I am now not able to contact because he is deceased, but what I paid was the value of the heads and intake alone. I put the engine in, fired...

Changing a fuel pump today and the metal middle line on my hanger (which I assume is the return) wiggles back and forth. the other 2 are solid. Is it time for a new hanger? Thanks in advance!

I will be calling you by the end of the week, if you don't mind.

The headers are nice quality, and reasonable. Luckily, I like the look of raw stainless. Right at this moment I am thinking the te44 or ta49, tt chip and 60 injectors combo , gn1 down pipe. Probably should go with a 3" dp? I am sticking with ext. waste gate though, sounds more reliable and...

Next time I will join the forum first, before I go buying crap. Thanks for all the excellent info. Yes I do believe in supporting my community , hope I didn't step on any ones toes bringing up GN1.

So what you are saying is the turbo sucks more air in then the ram air can create with pressure. That is a real bummer. I will pick up a cold air kit and test that theory, or just remove the canister at the track.

Oh yeah, and green striped injectors, what ever those are.
