Re: Turbo 400 question

Hello Ty,

I currently have a TH400 apart in my garage. I went out and looked and it looks like there are two small dimples or holes in the rear bushing. The bushing is installed in the case with...

Re: What to Buy When Ready for new 17" Tires?

I have Nitto NT555's on my car and they work pretty well. My only concern is the noise they make. While they are not loud the noise almost sounds like a bad bearing on most road surfaces. There...

Re: Cam timing

Thanks for the good wishes.
I actually got some good news tonight. I picked up a new boroscope at Harbor Freight on Sunday. Tonight my brother and I gave the cylinder a very careful inspection. ...

Re: Cam timing

Once again, thank you Bill.

I have the video and FSM and the job actually looks fascinating. The problem I'm facing is the tools. I don't even know where to get them, if they are available at...

Re: Cam timing

Bill, thanks for the encouragement. I have read about both opinions. Some say the engine must come out, others say it doesn't.
What concerns me is the tools. What did you do for the tools to...

Cam timing

A fallen secondary screw means my engine has to be removed and the left cylinder head removed. I'm hoping I won't find more damage than can be cleaned up and smoothed over.
That means I'm going to...

Re: Strange engine noise

Thank you Paul.

As for the fuel, I would imagine that would be quite a fountain coming out of there. Yikes! The car is in the garage. I can't open the right side door far enough to get to the...

Re: Strange engine noise

I can understand about the injectors and keeping them from firing. What I'm concerned about right now is cranking the engine. The plenum is off and of course that means all of the ignition is...

Re: Strange engine noise

I have an update on this:

I have been chasing an intermittant misfire and tracked it down to what I think is a bad plug wire on #8.
Pulled the plenum to replace the wires and found a missing...

Re: Strange engine noise

Thank you Scott.
That's not the sound I'm hearing which I suppose is a good thing.

I'm still thinking it sounded like an exhaust leak. That would explain how it changed with engine load. When I...

Re: Strange engine noise

Scott, I can't access that link. It says it's not available for download.
The noise was the same hot and cold.

I was thinking about this last night and the sound and the way is varies makes me...

Strange engine noise

I need some advice from the more experienced people(than me) here. This is going to be a bit long winded but I'm trying to be thorough.
On two occasions my engine has made a rattling sound. The...

Roll start?

I have a silly question to ask...
Can our cars be push or roll started if for whatever reason the starter won't crank the engine?

I'm asking because I left my lights on the other night (I...

Re: A scratch my head moment!

I've read some things about a capacitor going bad in the cluster and causing the tach to read high. The write-up stated that the original capacitors dry out or something and have to be replaced. ...

Re: dead silence

Just a thought...
You replaced the clutch master. Was the clutch safety switch adjustment knocked out while you were disconnecting and reinstalling the push-rod on the pedal? That is the first...

Re: clutch M/S cylinder experiences please

I work at a GM dealer and got them from here. They where in GM parts boxes but I don't know the original source.

Re: clutch M/S cylinder experiences please

Richard,
The slave cylinders are the ones that have the seals installed backwards. My master leaked and I purchased both. Replacing the master was quite a chore since it seems every wire and cable...

Re: 70s ZR-1 on the bay

In 1990 when I auto-crossed my '69 for the first time I had the pleasure of riding a fun run with JoAnn in her '90 coupe. At the time I had no idea who she was or how well she drove. All I can say...

Re: Emissions -- Bah Humbug!

I wonder if the calibration of the individual machine has anything to do with the varying readings?

In April my '91 passed fine and the limits had not changed since 2008.
The limits for HC...

Re: Haibeck PROM Idle

Dumb question time...

Why does the idle speed need to be higher if running an aluminum flywheel?

Thanks, Jim.
