Kk. Few more questions, fuck being away from home. I know I know...
Q1: My valve tick is atrocious, and a local shop wants to charge $250 to lash them. Is that an okay price? And can you go into detail, because i'm not familiar with engine internals too much.
Q2: I'm running a 1.6ecu on my 1.5, obviously its rich. Everytime I depress the gas while driving, once the car goes down to about 3000 and lower rpms, it makes a gargling sound. What is that?
Q3: Car smells like oil when I get on it (probably lack of cat, test pipe ftl), white smoke at idle (rich?) and a at top rpm my buddy's mazda 6 v6 behind me (yay!) said that he saw black smoke before I would shift. Explanations?
Q4: Pretty technical question.
After about 6 months of research on various differnet forums and the interwebs, I've come to the conclusion that I cannot infact get pistons and connection rods for my car, as they have to be custom build. Which sucks. So, i'm planning to go turbo soon. I'm guessing i'm gonna have to be limited to 200hp due to the connecting rods breaking at 220hp? Is my logic correct here?
Thanks in advance.
