Can a front cam bearing be removed and replaced without taking the motor out of the car? If so, what special tools are required? Thanks! Kristi

A few weeks ago, Kristi and I were driving to the World of Wheels car show to get a winter hot rod fix. A friend of ours, who was following us to the convention center, was driving his 6-speed 2001 WS6 Trans Am. His car benefits from a stout camshaft, fully-ported heads, headers, and big pipes...

We just installed a brand new engine in our 1986 T-Type. Since the installation, the ECM does not read the TPS sensor as it changes (Scanmaster displays idle setting of .42, even at WOT - engine off), the O2 sensor is lazy and generally reads lean at idle and cruise, and O2 cross counts are...

I have purchased a 30 day unlimited CARFAX account. I will be happy to run any VINs sent to me until my account runs out. E-mail your VIN to me, and I'll respond as soon as possible. I will not be monitoring this post, so make sure you contact me via e-mail. I can't promise I'll be able to...

We just installed a new engine in our '86 T-Type and the car is not running right. According to the Scanmaster, the O2's hang out in the 100's, the cross counts are very lazy, and the TPS reading does not change when the throttle is moved. The car runs, but idles poorly. We've changed the TPS...

Driving home from work today, I did my usual 'merge' into traffic using the short entrance ramp. I eased out and then rolled into the throttle hard. For some reason, the car did not shift into second gear, hanging up at the top of first. I lifted immediately, concerned, and resumed normal...

Okay here we go.... 1. Can lowering your boost at the wastegate effect how fast you can build boost at the line? I went to the track on Friday, with the boost set VERY conservatively to tune. I tried to build boost at the line and it wouldn't. I sat there for a while after the light...

About how many miles can you drive with race gas before the O2 sensor goes? Thanks. Kristi

At what point is it definitely false knock? I have never had knock in the car before, but recently noticed readings on the Scanmaster of 12+. Please tell me this cannot possibly be real knock. What is the limit of knock before you're driving right over the crank and spewing engine parts all...

I had 55lb injectors on my car, but the current combination does not warrant that large of an injector. I put a set of 42.5lb injectors on instead. The chip had been burned for 55s with no screen in the MAF. Assuming I can get a new chip burned, can 42.5lb injectors handle a MAF with no...
