I have a few turbos that have been rebuilt with zero miles on them. Might be will to part with some. I'm located in the Twin Cities. If you're gonna have a turbo rebuilt I would suggest the staggered...

Typically .040" overbore is a safe limit. If you had a TD block, I've sonic checked them (definitely thicker cylinder walls), and they could go perhaps. .060". I've built a couple engines @ .050" and...

Thanks for the update Vic, I appreciate it.

I once regretfully bought a 16V Masi TC and a "machine shop" (using the term lightly), couldn't find oversize pistons for it, so they sleeved all four cylinders, then bought std. bore JE pistons for...

You and me both Brian.

Well it's been a full week since I sent out an email to Neil. Glad I wasn't holding my breath:(.

Thanks for this info Bamman! Most definitely helped. Sent out an email to Neil. Hope he responds.

Hey Brian, that is the guy's username. It was Todd S. from MN and western WI. He resurfaced recently after 8-9 years, and posted a couple times on TD. Lives somewhere in Mississippi gulf coast now....

I came into my possession a 87 LM that has 8 separate calibrations. This is a Neil Emiro modified LM. I have confirmed it is a working LM. The first four calibrations 0-3 appear to be 3 bar, +40,...

Jeff the larger diameter stems were all aftermarket valves as far as I'm aware of. If I'm not mistaken, they were supposed to be used with a slightly oversized ID of valve seal. Not sure if this is...

Jeff,
I have found a lot of variation from one application to another in terms of detonation tolerance. One seemingly identical engine being prone to moderate amounts of detonation, while another...

Cracks continuing below the seats will find a way to water for sure. I'd be looking for a new head, or plan on a huge bill from the machinist to repair that. It won't be cost effective to fix this...

Brian,
You can try looking at parts stores for different brands. IIRC, you are a ways away from parts stores. I see some are deeper than others, some are steel, some are brass. Some are up to .015"...

Changing the head back to the g-head will normally require a calibration change for spark advance. Sounds like you are able to do this, but will require some calibration work for optimizing...

Jeff your probably one of very few people running a -9cc forged piston. You must have had them custom made because virtually all our vendors that I'm aware of, stocked only swirl 2.2/2/5 pistons. I...

Unshrouding the chambers will help, but it will be nowhere near 15cc's. It'll seem like you're removing a lot, but it will only end up being a few cc's unless you're very, very, aggressive...

Hey Jeff, just saw this. Better plan on either a g-head swap, piston swap, or buy an alky injection kit for it. Or run better quality fuel. What did you use for headgasket bore and thickness when...

Yeah, that was a freebie for sure. Dutchman axles did mine, I did the measurements, they did the machining. Mine wasn't that cheap, but still not bad.

You did open up the PDF file I attached right? That should be the info any machinist would need. Of course you could do this to the long style (unequal length) axle too.

Yes Brian,
The left side axle is unchanged from stock, on the right side the whole 4 pinion carrier is pushed about an inch to the passenger side (right). So that side needs to use a shortened axle....

Reviving this thread as I have something more to add.
So a prototype Shelby 555/568 LSD came into my possession. This is unit #2. This is a never used viscous LSD that also utilizes a 4 pinion...

Jon 2 dr or 4 dr? I have one that attaches to the aluminum bumper on the Omni. Not sure who made it. If you use the rear bumper, I would strongly suggest to take the bumper brackets off to reinforce...

Jeff,
IIRC Steve Eiker bought lines for his white 88 GLHT (tribute) car. Maybe Omni-Potent was selling lines too? He and Greg are good friends. That car also had rear disk brakes on them (which...

Jeff, it is there on turbo models for a shield for the oil cap opening. This baffle changed locations on NA cars depending on where the oil cap was located.

These are the valves that require larger seats. Intake valve size is 44 mm (stock is 40.6mm) Exhaust is 36.8mm (stock is 35.4mm).
