Hmmmm interesting thought in response to FindingPath. And this goes out to all us dino's on here. When a new person comes in They either a) make a post with some general information desire, where we (Myself included) will jump on it, point then in the right direction, but make a sarcastic remark in the process. Meanwhile the new person has just been somewhat belittled, but they have found the information they are looking for and carry on their merry way. Or b ) The see the search function, use it, find what they are looking for, and jet because like FindingPath post said, the info is out there, and there isn't really a reason to post if it's all been covered. Now in my opinion (yes every one has one, and they all stink) Vsicks Pathy is moaning a bit here. His points however are still valid in that; yes, it pretty much is the same people for a majority of posts. However, where I disagree is that while the same people post all the time, we have become a group of friends, and friends like to communicate, even if it's just jibber jabber. Now seeing we all have a common bond in our Pathy's spirit, I think that is wholly acceptable. Afterall that is what we are here for. Not every one is going to contribute a How-To, but one way or another, everyonr contributes something in their own personal way with the bells and whistles they have done. My biggest disagreement with Vsicks Pathy is on the subject of mods. If you did it, you are proud of it who the F$#@ cares if it's really a mod or not sheesh. Call it a mod all you want, just for the reasoning that your time went into it, and it's different than stock. Keep in mind mod is simply short for "modification" That is all nothin more, nothing less.

Hmmmm. Are you just trying to pull the rear half of the tranny, or take it down all the way? There's a keeper pin in the shifter recepticle on top of the tranny that needs to be pushed through in order to let the rear housing slide all the way off.

Tehe, B always the perfectionist....

I love the ones with the ice cream man music. Kinda sic and twisted, but it's fun to watch the kids come runnin up as you roll down the streets.

Might want to adda breakaway feature. Ewwwww, got a visual from B's remark.

Shave your flywheel. For every 1 lb you take off of rotational mass, you gain 5 hp. But you cut down your torque as well.

Looks cool. A+ for ingenuity

If your heads are shot it's not a engine swap. Heck, go pick up a set of Jim wolf heads and port and polish em on. Since she's down and out, might as well pull the ECU and send that in as well for an upgrade.

Oh ho hum, just remember something else. Just cause you get one cam lined up doesn't mean the other is. Hate to say it, but you're gonna have to pull both valve covers if you are going to look at the valves. Once again, compression check both banks.

Ok couple of quick checks. Sounds like you got everything back together right, but it is possible your crank is still 180 out. Get a compression tester, and hook it up to #1 in the spark plug hole. Not sure what the reading should be, but you will be able to tell if you are getting compression or not. When you turn it over, do it by hand, just to be on the safe side. Start at number one, and do all 6 cylinders. It'll be a pain for some, but if have any question about bent valves, this will give you an answer. If number one is off, I'd say redo your belt so that it is right, then try to start it and get her started. My guess would be you're still 180 out. If you had bent valves, it would still fire on the ones that are ok. If you have further question on whether or not you have it right, pull a valve cover, and watch the valves as you turn the motor over by hand. You can tell from deduction which are intake and which are exhaust, so when it's at #1 and both are closed as the piston is comming up, it is getting ready to fire and you can double check with the distributor. Good luck mate.

Again? Didn't we just do this one?

and now, a serious response. I recently redid my entire exhaust. I put on Thorley headers, high flow cat, and flowmaster muffler. Alot of people suggest 2.5" piping, but I still think that is too much. From a flow perspective, the headers have a 2.25" outlet and with that in mind, I choose to pipe the rest with that diameter. By not having a drop or increase in piping size, flow through the system has been ideal, with no real drops or increases, resulting in good flow of gases, without any drop in performance. Overall the system has performed far better than stock (obviously) without any hesitation or major dead spots in the powerband.

Sorry mate, already have a set, otherwise I would. Would make a nice present for B, but I'm well on working my way to broke only 1/2 way through the semester.

Goo look at the POHO thread, we are playing TAG

TAG, Solid Snake is it

STFU I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vallejo has 3 hardware stores, including a Yard Birds and Home Pot. Every single one had nothing near what I was lookin for, and looked at me like I was crazy when I asked about availability.

1.25" spacing, & at least 2" of straight length on each side.

Привет хороший встречать(выполнять) Вас, мое название(имя) - MaritimeMan. Где - ванная, я должен мочиться подобно скаковой лошади.

Hola agradable encontrarle, mi nombre es MaritimeMan. Dónde está el cuarto de baño, yo tengo que hacer pis como un caballo de carreras.

Ig thats the case, I'd rather be on my crotch rocket than that thing, 'cause on my bike, I at least have a chance to outrun whatever's commin up to hit me.

Manual or auto?

Ok let me get this straight. You want unique wheels that no one else has, yes? You want input from some one who has them, yes?

Careful, B's gonna you guys

Haha, I've seen that. Too dumb for words really. Too bad he didn't fall under the tires.
