Pretty much does all of those things. Decision made, dealing with the head, and probably tII at the same time. Thanks for the advice!

Might have to make a thread for it...


Sent from my...

I should note that I have about 95% of the parts needed for tII conversion, including a new turbo (I believe sourced from TU, awhile ago, I’ll have to check the receipts). Should I bite the bullet...

Thanks guys. I popped the VC off and nothing looks obviously wrong. I’ll see if I can get a look in the cylinders. I have a limited budget, so I’m hoping I can find the right direction to point...

L-body '86 log with MP computer and '88 roller cam/followers. Runs great, but smokes on deceleration (none noticeable on accel.). I did recently refresh the bearings and rings and replaced just the...

Just got it re-licensed this last weekend and have plans to get some fresh rubber. I'll check it again (will be the 10th check or so) for sure. It would be sweet to roll the SL instead (or also, if...

I would, but that one has a mystery I haven't put enough time into figuring out. (Likes to stumble/cut around 4k RPM).

Going to try to at least run the GLH down, although I've got a post-combustion oil leak going on (on decel).

Did that once also - unfortunately, it gouged the cam and spit the follower next to it. Suspected a loose valve seat (never verified - it had spit a follower a month prior in a different location to...

Looks like it was fun - wish I could have made it! Hopefully next year (with at least one running car, maybe two)!

I was watching that ad, along with another CSX for sale in Issaquah (and Rampage) - great catch!

I'll make an effort (been wanting to attend a meet for years), however, with my daughter about to arrive, everything is tentative...

Giving me ideas for my recently acquired '89 (Might be the 2nd nicest interior-wise). Love this build!

That was the trick - I had to pull the cover off (after locking it in neutral) and move the (crossover?) lever the other way (the lever pivots in the middle, this took it out of reverse), making sure...

'86 GLH with a523. My brother was backing the GLH out of the driveway, had trouble getting it out of reverse, when it appeared to come out of reverse, it was actually the cable/bushing popping off...

Issue is not as urgent anymore, but I'm still interested. Thanks for your consideration!

Want to keep my '86 GLH on the road this summer and all my wrecking yards are dry :( - I need A523 shift cables in good to great shape. I may consider other associated parts (shifter assembly) if...

Thanks Rod! PM returned. Thanks everyone for looking and consideration! The issue has been resolved, and the Omni is back on the road

The a523 in my Omni decided it was time. I need a replacement as soon as possible (preferably cheap and local to Western WA to avoid shipping cost and wait) to keep my brother able to go to work. I...

FWIW, I just fixed this in my '86 GLH - in my case, it was the Hi/Lo beam switch mounted to the steering column (easiest to access and test with a test light or voltmeter). There is a green wire...

Wish I hadn't spent my tax return already, this or your spare parts would go great with #189. Somebody scoop this up!

I swear! Cleanest "L" on the planet!!

Ran out of time to check anything this weekend - hopefully this week.

Thanks guys, I'll check those items this weekend and get back to you!

Cordes - Electrical stays up (the radio never loses a beat), just a sudden, "quiet" (no jerking, shuddering) cut of engine power - it acts like a sudden cut of ignition.

ScottD - Just visually,...
