Yup, I'm thinking that might be a problem. I figure it like this: my generation of truck ('99 Ram) has a known problem with the TPS having a dead spot. When this happens, the computer gets all pissy...

Have you checked to make sure the TPS is ok? Being a speed/density set-up, the ECU uses the MAP and TPS to determine load so it knows how much fuel and timing to give. Coolant temp sensor is also...

From what I understand the V6 and the 4-cylinder ECU's operate pretty much the same. As Brent said, the only big difference between the two is most likely going to be controlling the engine under...

Thank goodness for full-face helmets! Mine was very similar where had I not had it on..most of my face would have been fertilizer! :yuck:

Ever since I saw a picture on Rotten titled "I love my...

I know how that goes! It's coming up on my 1-year since I totaled my bike. I didn't get hurt, though...thankfully.

Remember, there are only 2 types of motorcyclists: ones that have gone down, and...

Interesting that you like the Phantom Grip over the OBX. I think that's the first time I've heard that. I hope it works for you. I know there have been many reports from all over (not just TM's) that...

Don't forget to get video!!!



Yeah, not running for that long ticking doesn't surprise me. I don't know if the larger cams would cause more wear or not, either. It's not just the 12V engines...

It's been a long time since I messed with 3.0 stuff, but I do know the stock hydraulic lash adjusters have that infamous ticking issue. If I'm not mistaken that is caused by a failure of the adjuster...

I don't think it's delusional to want to rev one of these to 9k. I think it's totally possible.

The stock lifters have issues in stock from not doing what they are supposed to. Maybe modding them...

Sorry, Bakes....do you mean to say there IS enough oil, or there is NOT enough oil?

There should be enough oil splashing around up there that having a dedicated oil feeder really shouldn't be needed.

I might also suggest using valve caps. That way you aren't really risking...

Brent, I thought you were the one that found out that the 1.5 rockers fall off the valves?

I know for fact that discussion and diagrams was talked about for the 2.2/2.5 8V guys with diagrams,...

Do yourself a favor and replace the front crank seal at least!

To my knowledge, unless something has changed, Venolia is the only one of the "major" piston companies to use the 26xx alloy. Everyone else uses the 4XXX. I remember when I got my first set of...

Venolia does that because they use a different alloy with less silicone content in it than most of the others. This is why they call for a little more piston/wall clearance, because their pistons...

I can't believe I forgot Venolia! :banghead:

Sorry to hear about all the bad luck. I think for the money you spent with RPW, you could have had a machine shop or maybe even another TM'r who is good at machining build you adjustable cam gears!...

LOL. Honestly, it's been so long that I forgot the Mitsu version was different. I still find it odd they can't figure out how to make the stamped ones adjustable.

How can they not be made adjustable? How is it I have a set and so does Brent? I think they just don't want to. For a company that does some crazy stuff, I find it hard to believe what they told you.

The FD is interchangeable because the gear stack can come off the intermediate shaft. You can find a 3.50 FD 523 and put the gear stack from a later 543 on it. I can't remember if the later gear...

Yes, you need a new input shaft. Make sure you get the correct one. It looks like you have an early transmission by the way the pitch on the gears are. If you can't find that input shaft, then you...

I hope you were WAY ahead of them at 140+! Unless they were modded neither of those cars could even go that fast.

15.37 @ 86 isn't too bad, really! The best I ever got out of my '90 Daytona was 15.9@85.1, but the 60' was something like 2.3.

I'd bet that warming up those BFG's a bit would have helped in the...

I'm convinced that the torque biasing LSD in a FWD car in the hands of an inexperienced driver was the primary cause for so many SRT-4 Neons to meet their early demise. With that sort of differential...

LOL....sorry, it's an ongoing sickness I can't seem to shake! ;)
