Hi guys, now I know I keep asking stupid questions, but these buicks have some weird things about them.. I'm trying to figure out how to install this rear main seal. It's got 2 rubber ends, and 3 metal pins. The instructions are pretty poorly done, and none of the howtos from gnttype.org seem...

Hi guys, I'm getting near the end of my budget 85 buildup, and now I'm trying to think of a cheap way to get a scanmaster type tool going. Now heres the thing, I'm a comp sci major and my brother is an electrical engineer, so I'm thinking we could just build our own. I could either code...

piston advice (more info) Hey guys, yet another question. I had to 30 over my block, and want some opinions on pistons. I see a lot of arguments between what is best, and I'm looking for some opinions. They will be going into my 85 wh1, and price is an issue, I'm a poor university student...

Hey guys, doing a crosspost from the hotair section because I haven't got any answers.. cut, paste: I'm getting all the parts together for my 85 wh1 rebuild, and I keep coming back to the turbo. It's not stock, and was replaced two owners ago. (Not positive, from the previous owners say, but...

Hi guys, another question here.. I'm getting all the parts together for my 85 wh1 rebuild, and I keep coming back to the turbo. It's not stock, and was replaced two owners ago. (Not positive, from the previous owners say, but he wasn't really bright) It's a Garrett turbo, I'm not sure about...
