Sorry, Did not mean to offend you. When I read your previous post I read in that you might have had the cap partially in the vice. You will have to give tham a good rap with a rubber mallet.

Yes, I would make it basically impossible to remove the caps if they are clamped. Reclamp them on the rod only and not the cap. wack with a rubber mallet like suggested. DO NOT USE A PRYING DEVICE. Rather obvious but you would be surprised! Make sure you replace the rod bolts and follow your...

Why are you going in that direction. It does not take much time to pull it and then the job becomes much easier. I will presume you are going to plastigage it, so you have to do it a couple of times. Cleaning the area with shit dripping on me is not my idea of fun. On a risk/reward ratio you...

Where have you read that. I would like to read it. I looked at them but decided to use GE. The darton has a small groove around the top and a series of small holes. I believe that this design will hold more heat and could possibly cause turbulance with the coolant. The GE's on the other hand...

Are you converting something? What are you using it for. There is a thread that the prop valve was thoughly discussed. Since then I talked to Brian at Fast Brakes and we both agreed that the differences are very small if any. In 99.943225656452% (pissedoff's style number) of the cases you will...

Okay, I believe there is not a hub that has the larger bearing package with the 100 x 4. So my options are: Scrap rear end and star over...... not going to happen to much time and money invested. Buy GSR trailing arms, pull the spindles remount. Seams like an like a lot of work. Machine...

I did a JDM ITR rear disk swap a while ago (project car). Had the whole thing powder coated, polys installed and assembly. Much to my stupidity and surprise the lug pattern is 114.3 x 4. I need a 100 X 4. It was suggested that I try a GRS hub. I ordered one and it came with th ABS gear, twice...

What State do you live in? In Michigan when I bought the del sol it was an out of state Purchase (PA). I went tot he Sec of State and they issued me a new title. No inspection, no hassles just a new title. Is the title in your name already? Am I presuming correctly that the Troopers must...

How many mile on this engine? You are headed for a rebuild from what I read above. Sorry, but if you have to ask about surfacing the deck. I suggests geting it done.

:withstupid: This time.... :wacko: That is whats on the del sol...

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. Unorthodox is building pulley's for race where you expect to rebuild your engine frequently. In a race atmosphere a couple of Hp makes a big diference. For that application they make a great product. Yes, the flywheel is a damper for the flange end of the...

If you will not tell them that they will destroy their motor. I will say they are subjecting your engine to harmful harmonic vibrations and run the risk of destroying their motor. I don't know what is on every make, model, engine. But all the pulley's that mount to the front of the engine have...

Almost, Cars do not have balancer but the Harmonic Damper is real and does provide a vital function. That Rubber is not for noise but to absorb and reduce the vibrations from combustion. Whe the engine fires it induces a tortional load on the crankshaft. This load is very harmful to your engine...

Look at a Fuidampr. It had way less rotaional mass than a stock damper and will reduce vibration caused by the the power stock of your engine.

WTF is a thingy? Do you mean that when you manually turn the butterfly at the throttle body it is still "sticky". Did you disconnect the throttle cable? Is it still sticky? Does the return spring appear in its correct place? Is the throttle body filthy? Inside and out? Try spraying some carb...
