Selling my son's GN. The good: Fresh rebuild on the original engine, new rebuilt moonroof, Good POSI, original rims with new stock size tires, rebuilt suspension with new springs, bushings, etc. Lots of receipts. . . The bad: The body is pretty rough, and would need some serious...

Hey guys, haven't posted in a while, but need a little help. . . My mother in law has a 2001 Regal GS. Nice car, with all the options. It's been very reliable up until recently, when it's developed a weird power problem. The car will randomly not have ANY battery power. It will start and run...

Doesn't have to perfect, it's getting painted anyway. I'm in Florida. . .

Looking for a trunk lid in decent shape. I'd prefer it was in Florida so I can avoid the crazy shipping prices.

Got a bunch of stuff sent to me by my dad from and N/A project he was working on several years ago. $50 + shipping takes it all, or make me an offer on individual parts. Some things to note, the A/C condensor is for an N/A Regal and it's never been used and is sealed, the oil pump is an older...

1000 mile on fresh rebuild. Here are the specs: .020 over Wiseco pistons Stock block Stock heads (shaved .008) stock crank turned .020/.010 stock rockers with new buttons stock push rods Edelbrock 204/214 cam and lifter kit stock turbo - ported stock headers, downpipe and crossover 979 springs...

I'm trying to figure out if I should be getting the heads machined for this cam. I've been running it for a while with no problems, but since the engine is out, I was going to have a valve job done. 0.448 int./0.472 exh. lift

Got the Edelbrock 5487 kit,and the lifters have a small groove around the bottom of the lifter. I've never seen this before. . .What does it do? Picture's a little fuzzy, but you get the idea. . . The Edelbrock part number for the lifter is 9749.

Came across a thread that states the stock head can only handle .420 lift. The 204/214 cam is rated at .442 intake and .472 exhaust. . . I always thought if you stayed under .500, you were OK? http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=EDL-5487&autoview=sku

I notice a lot of GN folks nod knowingly when I tell them the reason I rebuilt my engine was because #1 rod bearing was hammered flat. What causes this? Detonation? Why just the #1 bearing and not the rest?:confused:

Like new, except where someone went nuts holding the end of the rod with a vice grips and chewed it a little bit. I have pics. $40.00 plus shipping.

Going to replace the ones that are in the block now, I'm looking at DuraBond BP13T or TA- Preformance TA_1555. Just checking to see what you guys think.

New engine, less than 200 miles on it. Sorry if you get dizzy, I'm not a pro at taking videos. You should see my home movies. :p YouTube - Weird engine noise on my GN

Just fired up our fresh rebuilt engine last week. It now has a ****ping 150 miles on it. We have some valvetrain noise at idle, louder out of gear than in gear. Car runs great, with good vacuum (15 in drive) and oil pressure (28 in drive with 10w30). We reused our 1000 mile old 204/214 cam with...

New engine with 100 miles on it. Wiseco .020 forged pistons, new Sealed Power lifters and 204/214 cam. Stock pushrods and rocker shafts. Making valvetrain noise up top, louder at idle speeds with no load than in gear. You can barely hear it in gear. 1. The heads were shaved .008, do I need to...

Just fired the new engine, put half a quart or so of power steering fluid in it, but I still have no power steering. The system was bone dry, including the steering box. Does it just take a while for the air to bubble out? How much fluid should it take?

Hi all, I'm really nervous here. Here's what I've got. Fresh rebuild, turned the crank, and resized the rods. Have Wiseco .020 pistons and new lifters on a 1000 mile 204/214 cam. Everything is attached and ready to start. Stock turbo, MAF, etc. Got straight 30 weight oil in it with some GM EOS...

My dad sent me some heads he ported several years ago. They're 6293 heads he ported using the Buick Performance book as a guide. He's a master machinist (actually a tool and die man). I want to use these, but I'm not sure if the porting job would be good for a street driven, stock turbo car. He...

Like the title says, what do I need to buy to check my journal and bearing clearances? How accurate should they be .001 or .0001 of an inch? Should I get a 2"-3" micrometer and a 6" caliper?

Stock turbo needed new seals, so I pulled it open today and found the impeller and exhaust wheels had some wear due to in and out shaft play. Can I just put the new seals in and put this thing back together? I'd like to keep it running for a little longer until I can get a nice ball bearing turbo.
