    Aftermarket pulley question

    If this is a street car, stay away from underdrive pulleys. The slower speed will effect alternator and water pump performance at idle and in traffic. Not worth the 15 HP gain! If your looking for dress-up, get yours chromed or buy a set. If I remember correctly South East Turbo sells tons of...

    Engine Noise... Please help Diag.

    Check all accessory bolts. A/C, Power Steering and so on. These engines tend to vibrate bolts loose if you don't check them periodically. My car sounded like it had a rod knock just after I bought it. It turned out to be that it had only one bolt left holding the A/C compressor on, the rest were...

    NEW GM LIFTERS<> to soak or not to soak in oil?

    I totally submerge the lifter in oil then pump the plunger by hand slowly with a pushrod until air bubbles disappear. The hand primed lifters are no match for the forces of the valve spring. With the lifter sitting on the base circle of the cam, (valve closed) tighten the rocker nut until...

    NEW GM LIFTERS<> to soak or not to soak in oil?

    I always soak and hand prime lifters. Unless you like the sound of valve train clatter, there is no reason not to prime. The lifters will preload just fine. You wouldn't dry start any other part of your engine, why would you dry start the lifters? Everyone has their own technique. This is...

    Tta Owners Kit

    I had 2 kits for my car. I sold the car with one kit and have this one left. My car had the decals applied so the original kit was incomplete.

    Thanks for the offer of help, I may take you up on that phone call if needed. Fluid leaks were the first thing I looked for. There is no leakage visable anywhere. Just my luck to get a defective unit:mad: I will pull the unit out and return it for warranty. I also noticed that A-1...

    Problem with new Power Master. HELP!

    Hey Eric, the pump cycles normally, but when you put your foot on the pedal, it steadally drops to the floor. I still haven't had a chance to mess with it or take it back to the dealer. I was hoping that maybe some air trapped in the system worked its way back to the master after sitting for...

    Problem with new Power Master. HELP!

    My original Power Master pump started blowing fuses so I bought a remaned PM from AutoZone. I had a local GM dealer do the installation since I have no experience with bleeding these units. OK here's the problem. After installation, everything was fine for about a week. I parked the car for...

    to stud,or not to stud

    Mains should be line bored with any rebuild! Machining and block preparation is not the place to skimp when building any Hi Po engine. I do agree that line bore should be done with the parts you are going to use. If you had it done with bolts in place, I would get it rechecked if switching...

    Do you trust jack stands?

    In short, Yes I trust them. I think the key points to remember as mentioned above are; (1) Only use stands on a hard flat surface. No dirt or gravel driveways. Blacktop also gets soft on a hot day, so use a piece of wood under each stand to distribute the weight when setting up on black top...

    te-60 vs te-44

    No local sources that I know of. I picked up my turbo at ATR since I was in South Carolina. My injectors and fuel pump came from Racetronix. ( good people!) Eric at Dynotech in Manville, NJ. did my trans and supplied the converter. I think he would be the nearest dealer for Art Carr. Eric is...
