How far under can you grind a stock crank? I have one that let go of a rod and put some scores into the journal. Not too deep but not sure if the journal will go down enough to take them out. Has anyone ever had a crank repaired in the way of welding deep scratches and re-grinding? The...

I have a converter which I assume is rebuilt - Has D6 or D9 stamped around it. (not sure which way up the number is) Has marker pen writing on it that reads CGE, part # B15X, turbo 2004R, Turbo. Has six flex plate lugs. Anyone know what it was originally from? I think it came from Dr...

searched the archive for original PF47 filters and came accross pictures posted by Richard Clarke. Painted black over original sticker. Found these filters old stock and assume these are the same ones but without the black paint? Interesting they say made in England on the filter lable and...

As an after thought to my previous post, how many European members are out there and how about a bit about your car - where you got it, how it runs, pictures etc.

Any of the English members that use ZDDPlus, I now distribute it over here. Give me a shout at ianzddplus@aol.com and I can supply your needs. I'll also have it for sale at some of the upcoming shows and race events next year. Hoping to run the power tour for 2010 - increase the Buick...

If any of the English members require ZDDPlus without the hassle of import duties etc, give me a shout at ianzddplus@aol.com. I'll also have it for sale at some of the upcoming shows and race events next year. Hoping to run the power tour for 2010 - increase the Buick attendance and see how...

After the advice of some of you on the board I contacted Dusty about a converter to pick up at the Nats to bring back home to England. Great guy, was very helpful with advice on converter choice and installation tips etc. Great deal on the converter too. It's not in the car yet but will be as...

Any one had any experience with the 12" lock up torque converter that Poston sells? Looking for new converter for my set up thats similar stall or maybe a little more but stronger than stock. Car is mostly used on the street, see's maybe 30 passes a year at the track. The 2200-2800 stall...

Had a noise with my 200-4r for a long time now, never hurt or seemed to effect anything. Best I can describe it is a hissing noise, like fluid being forced past something at high pressure. Only makes noise in gear (all gears) at idle. As soon as the car starts to move it goes away. Been like...

Am I correct in thinking that increased timing would increase throttle reponse and efficiency of an engine. Just got a street TT chip and it happily runs around 19/20 boost. Lowish timing - 20/18. Now I have the option to change timing in the chip, could I get a crisper throttle response/...

Just got an EGT installed with the temp probe in the origional O2 sensor hole. What temps do I need to be aiming for at the track? Would the EGT numbers to shoot for with the alky be the same as without alky? I'm running Iso and water 60/40 unless I can find out where to get some...

Found a chip in with some things I picked up for the GN. Don't know what it is. Has a sticker on the inside; Z-1 chips (tm), 87 GN custom V6, Vic Guilmino, 160 Deg. +4% fuel. Anyone know who Vic is. Don't know the injector size

Bought Turbolink V4 for windows some time back, couldn't get it to connect to the car. I've finally got time to try and get this sorted out. Problem is I can't get it to talk to the car. I open T-link and click connect - It tells me Turbolink has not been properly tested, do I wish to do so...

Has anyone tried the Denso O2 sensors part# 234-1001? Any thoughts/ experiences good or bad. The blurb says they are very lead resistant, are very long lasting and react fast.

Any one heard any news about the progress of RJC's twin coil pack set up. Saw it on their web site, looks interesting.

I've got a crank sensor that I got with a bunch of parts and wondered how to electrically test it for correct operation - other than putting it on the car. Are there any set values that you should be able to read accross the pins with a meter?

Got a problem with the trans in a freinds car, doesn't know a whole lot about these cars and he asked me if I could look at it. Well....... trans slips like crazy when it warms up. From cold it seems ok, goes into gear firmly, shifts ok. As it starts to warm through (don't know temps, no...

Was just wondering - which trans specialists will be at the Nats this year?

Anyone had any experience with the turbo to header gasket that kirban sells? Says it has a metal insert. I had a copper one but it blew out after a thousand miles or so. Looking for a good replacement.

Anyone out there dealt with Weber Racing before? Friend of mine over here in the UK is building up his GN motor and asked me if I knew about these guys. So in turn I ask the experts :) Thanks, Ian, UK.
