65222, back up and running
Posted by ner947, Feb-14-04 06:07 AM
so after about a month and a half of downtime, i got my car working again. stuff completed:

1mm oversized valves
PT rockers
Eaton lifters
Crane springs/titanium retainers
Ported head and other manifolds
MSD DIS-2
ebay short shifter
de-warped exhaust manifold
re-did vacuum system
EGR blockoff, removed pipe
removed Neon oil dipstick from the Howell shortblock tube and put the stock one back in, i can finally get oil readings.



2.4 cam gears... cool. i put the stock ones back.






ghetto rigged DIS-2, will actually mount it someday...



my temporary studder box button




oh yeah... the new missing link works PERFECTLY. anyone who has problems with theirs should drill a very small pinhole in the side of the unit on the MAP sensor side.

the MSD ignition controller is VERY cool. the studder box thing works really well. my car idles perfectly now.

also, when i first started it up, i noticed that the new valvetrain was very quiet. almost no noise whatsoever. pretty cool.

when i sold my turbo kit and ML...i happened to notice that it had a pinhole in it already...so i'm guess that the "new" ones have it in there and the "old" ones dont?

Mine has a pin hole in it already. Should I drill it larger.

Also NATE, OMG green eclipses with fat fmic's are HOTNESS!!!

Can't wait to get mine soon :)(woooohooooooooooo) :). I'm surely going to cut the black lip to open up the flow.
