Lower intercooer hose is clean and dry no sign of oil. Compressor wheel is good, no play.
Simon do you mean the exhaust down pipe? I don't have a PCV valve it is vented from the cover to the...

Interesting situation: 88 Shelby Daytona T11 with an older engine and a rebuilt head. Good oil pressure and runs very nice but when I slow down, using the engine compressbion, and then accelerate it...

T2, intercooled, BOV, Rebuilt engine, new clutch, new fuel pump, clear taillights. spare tops, spare window seals and windshield trim. Spare set of wheels. Setup for 5th injector.
Vehicle is at...

Checking Allpar I find that there is a response to this problem. This may be an injector problem, they may be gummed and need cleaning. The electrical current at start is higher than the electrical...

I was stopped at a traffic light in my 85 lebaron vert converted to T2 and manual and it started to sputter and die, I was able to clear the light very slowly but eventually it died and I had to have...

Fixed it. I played with advancing and retarding the ignition and got it running.
No sweat.

I am having starting problems with my 88 Shelby Daytona. I recently put a spare motor in which ran fine for one day but when I tried to start it the next day, nothing. Timing was fine and there was...

Is it possible to take the fifth gear drive out of a 520 and swap it into a 555? so I get the benefit of the stronger 555 and a better cruising top gear?

It has a new pump and filter and the pressure is there

My 85 Lebaron is now converted to T11 and was running fine but it died on me when the fuel pump quit. I got the fuel pump working again and the car idles fine and revs in neutral but when I put it...

I have converted my 85 Lebaron vert to a manual trans. The one problem I have is that the clutch cable from the Dayton is about an inch too short and the protective cable is about 4 inches short of...

I will reassess now that I have had a few days to cool down, thanks for the input and ideas.

Fortunately there is no damage to the crank, it was caught in time. Judging by the problems I read you have on occasion, mine is small.
Congrats on breaking the 12.

The rebuild was done in my basement and garage by me and with help from a mechanic friend. He feels pretty sick about it but it seems to me that it's an issue that can easily be overlooked so I am...

Unfortunately I think I am going to have to have the crank reground, that is the suggestion from Ken who has helped me a great deal. I will have the rods rebalanced and with any luck get more thanks...

Thanks for the offer Simon, and at some point I will no doubt need to draw on your experience and knowledge. Ray says he has some rods so i am just going to have to patiently rebuild the motor over...

Simon, that makes a bit more sense. These were used before in my first motor and the carnage in those bearings and cylinders was so bad that I ditched the block. I took my turbo to a local shop...

The rod didn't stretch, the diagnosis is that the bearing cap stretched so that it is oval rather than round. These rods have been previously shaved, and when I sent the crank out to be balanced the...

A rattle developed in my rebuilt 2.2 in the Daytona and, fortunately, it was immediately parked for further inspection. Initially the thinking was a lifter but after replacing that a check was made...

Thanks roadwarrior,
once again my limited mechanical knowledge is being pushed and the hobby of owning a TD shows the need for technical knowledge beyond changing the oil, cleaning and making shiny.

lever is adjusted as suggested but makes no difference.

I have an A413, which I think came out of a 90 van, in my 85 Lebaron. It was working fine when I took it out of the 87 New Yorker but now it is doing strange things. It won't change down from third...

thanks Simon,
I have got one from the dealer and will be putting it in today, there wasn't one in there when I took the head off.

took the head off my non common block 2.2 (not certain of the year) to check if there is an oil restrictor, couldn't find one and don't really know where it goes so if any one has pics or can explain...

that doesn't sound like nearly as much fun but it sure sounds safer.
