The nose is cracked and...

Same old story. Started to get into this project, and work picked up and now I've got a new job that is forcing me to move. Car is still in disassembled state and is now available for free in the...

Definitely interested. How thick is the plate? material?

Another material to check out: Vesconite. It's used as a polymer bearing material that was designed to replace oilite bushings. I've used it many times, and it machines well and is quite lubrous...

Forged 6061 versus machined (billet) is about the same strength. Cast A356 alloy maxes out between 22 and 30 ksi - whereas 6061 will have a strength in the 45ksi range. Or about 1/3 stronger. ...

Or, depending on severity, the column was not installed back onto the rack correctly when the rack was replaced (if it ever was?) My wheel in my rampage was off over 60 degrees because the dingus who...

Is that an airdam on your airdam?

I never got mine right again after the spring sprung. It would either get too tight and the end of extension, or not retract when I unlatched it...

Also watch your eyes! when mine sprung out, I...

Find a '90 523 with the 3.50 FD (I believe '90 is the correct year). I found one out of a 2.5L shadow - cannot recall if it was turbo or not.

The transmissions are pretty easy to work on, but...

You have to shim it either way.

You'll have to build a 'hybrid' trans if you want to put an OBX into your 568, as it currently is not compatible with that model (has to do with the ring gear, I...

Pulling the head is much easier on the intercooled cars. You can do it in-car, but a few of the turbo mounting nuts are hard to reach, if it's even possible. The oil feed line is also difficult.

It appears the 'NR1' option was for the reduced rate, non-variable rack. I have no Nxx codes on the RPO sticker that correlate to the steering, so I'm assuming its the excl:NR1, NS1, NS2 - meaning...

Agreed, BS. I did buy the car new, and am more than ticked off that it's got a hard-parts issue so early.

I've found my replacement parts ID tag, and cannot locate any RPO codes that correlate...

I've now searched the web unsuccessfully for over a week...

My daily driver is an '08 Saturn Astra. My local stealership has been no help. I'm 3mo and 3k miles out of the bumper-to-bumper...

I didn't think about using that! awesome. That's the page I tried to go back to from my old favorites.. Thanks!

Is the arm still attached to the lever on the swingvalve?
Do you hear the hissing at idle? Or under boost?

Run your wastegate line directly to the manifold and see if it fixes it. Your boost...

I had a set of those at one point also from a 'log' car. I could never verify specs... the tops of mine were more 'greenish' though, but definitely had the same nose/tip (no plastic cap) and number.

Doh, somehow I got mixed up on who posted the pic (stupid small laptop screen).

tryingbe: same question, any details on that gauge cluster swap?

that 'lever' or button is hard to see in the car - you might have to flip over on your back to see it. The knob then pulls straight out, there's no other trick to it.

use some anti-seize on the new plugs! Doesn't take much, but makes a world of difference the next time you go to change plugs.

Don't break the ceramic..

Run the engine, let it get warm/hot then spray some penetrating oil (kroil, PB blaster, etc) and let it sit. I would spritz it every morning on your way to work, and...

Probably best to replace it all anyway.

The head gets oil from around one of the headbolts - make sure that passage is unobstructed. If there truly was no oil in the head, methinks it would be...

Any chance the wrong cam is in the car? A slider cam is supposedly softer than a roller, and the rollers will eat the lobes for breakfast.

If the rest of the head looks OK, I'd get a known-good...
