Now that would be absolutely awesome!

Haha, well... I would take off my lab coat before I started! (I'm a chemist.) I've always done my own work on cars... too many bad experiences with mechanics. But yeah... based on what I'm reading here, I'll probably get the work done by a reputable shop. Looks like this is going to turn into...

Nothing special on the oil at the moment. I think it was 10-30, and I did try an additive for high miles engines... probably why my turbo went! You might have a point about the oil cooler. I know my turbo was not getting properly oiled, which is what caused the failure. It wouldn't surprise me...

I'll start by apologizing ahead of time to the people who will put their palm over their face and shake their head while reading this. Sorry! :) Also, sorry that this is a little long... I'll put a TLDR version at the bottom! I've owned a completely stock '87 WE-4 for the last 13 years. It's a...

Heh... well, thank you for confirming what I thought anyway. :) I always primed the turbo when I changed the oil, but I honestly never considered priming it after it had been sitting. This makes a lot of sense actually. Lol, they need to make a rubber bulb to put on the oil line, sort of like...

Thanks for the advice. I can't really tell if the blade hit or not... its really looks really close, and there appears to be a cleaner spot, as though it might have touched. I don't see any gouges. It spins freely, but has a decent amount of x/y movement. I don't feel any movement in the...

I have a stocker WE-4 that's been moth-balled for the better part of 15 years. It gets to come out a few times a year, and I usually give it a once over before I take it out. Last weekened, I took her for a short cruise and spooled it up a bit. It seemed ok, but as it was spooling down, I...

No not yet. I had wanted to get one that directly hooked up to a laptop for realtime data output. I looked into them a bit last year, but I really wasnt sure which one to get. From what I read, they all had a somewhat slow refresh rate due to the computer in the car being a bit outdated. I...

It couldn't have been further out of adjustment.... whoever set it up had it PAST the notches. It works like a charm now.... Thanks again!

Thanks for the quick (and encouraging) reply. I will give it a try and post an update!

I've got a very high miles '87 WE4 that is in remarkably good (unrestored) condition. It is 100% original, and its been sitting in storage for the past 15 years. It probably gets 100 miles driven on it each year. I've got two transmission questions with the vehicle. First, from the day I...
