Howdy,

Yes I did.
I eventually pulled the hood and watched the cooling fans in cold weather (when I encountered the noise).
It turned out to be the cold fan bearings howling while wind...

Thanks for the reply,

My distribution center has an open socket and the cover shows no ASD. I have pictures of that...confused me too.

My guess was that the SBEC had the ASD function built in,...

Howdy,

Have a no start condition. Car was running the day before, so not a question of whether or not it runs (normally).

No fuel, no spark.

Rotor is turning (timing belt intact).

...

Howdy,

Update...

Put a 2.2 together with the polished, captured washer 3.8 Felpro bolts I purchased a few months ago. Had the same problem as the black oxide. I could easily turn at least...

Good guys to do business with...:thumb:

Everything was just as they said...:thumb:

The FelPro 3.8L bolts I received today have the captured washer/different finish, and are NOT stamped with an 11 on the top of the head like the play doh bolts.
One way I see around the "8 to a...

ARP studs or even bolts wouldn't make economical sense for stock engines. I have at least 3 more engines to do after this one.

I have both types of torque wrenches. I've been using an old style...

Another new set of Felpro's,

2 failed to hit 90 lbs...and I'm done with these things. When I torque 'em it feels like Russian roulette with play dough.

What else is available for these...

1. Vigo - Adam Moore (3-row radiator)
2. DOHCRT - Vic Dobney (3-row radiator)
3. Turbo3Iroc - Kelly Gomer (3-row radiator)
4. Wastelands Warrior - Bob Gable (3-row radiator)
5. iTurbo - Jeremy...

Hello Sailor!

I'll take that cam gear, thank you very much. :D

I'm in IL too, so the shipping will be cheap.

PM me and lemme know how you want the dough and where...

Thanks,

Yes, correct, the bolts never torqued. they just stretched. Never came close...as I applied the 1/4 turn they didn't seem to get tighter, just stayed the same. I then began double checking, removing,...

Man,

You guys have great luck.

Try this on for size...

Brand new box of Felpro's tonight. 4 bolts necked threads before torquing to yield/test torque. :mad:

Decided it must be a...

Howdy,

I've used these Dorman 03411 in a few motors. They're for a Ford application of some sort.

The first set has...

I second pulling the intake to see how far down they went with the nest...

I'd seal the top of the intake real good and hose-down the engine compartment before working on it anymore.

Or, put on...

Okay, here we go...

Replaced the head on my 89 Turbo van.

Since I pulled the dist when I reset the timing belt, I decided it would be a good thing to reset the static engine timing.

Nay,...

That makes me happy!! :D

Man, that interior is sweeeeeet...

Hummm,

Strapped in a car seat...

Looks like road rage to me. :)

Hey Jon,

You could stash it at my house til June if need be...

In my experience,

The idler pulley makes a scouring or grinding noise when the bearing is going south...like a bad alternator.

Ahhhhhh, the weirdness never stops...

Both my Minivans make a howling/dry bearing noise when they're cold...as in cold out...not operating temp.

I've owned one van for 10+ years, and for...

Thanks,

Yes, quite weird...

When I got home and finally pulled the fuse, it was running at the time...and it pinned the tach at 2k. I had to shut it off and reinsert the fuse to get it to...

Update,

First, although the Shadow is stripped, it IS an ES model...so it DOES have a tach (DUH).

The tach IS on the same circuit as the radio and dome light...so, I think raccoon's guess of...

Jay,

Are you looking for later model verts (J body LeBaron's), or are you open to earlier verts (K body's)?
