    What piston rings?

    Ok I've done some research and I'm getting mixed opinions. My engine is all apart (after less than 500 miles) and I wasn't going to replace the rings during reassembly. Looking at the cost of rings I figure I'll just change them. Dropping the block off Saturday for machine work and I'm planning...

    Reusing cometics? Thoughts?

    Some of you know the predicament I'm in with a cracked cylinder. I'm compiling parts to rebuild and I've heard (from some people) that you can reuse cometic gaskets. We've done it in a pinch with the race engines but what about a street vehicle? Gaskets came off looking perfect. Not trying to be...

I'm going to price getting it sleeved but I want to keep my options open. I may also have a local stock block as an option so I'm also pricing have a stock block...

    Gas in the oil

    Not sure why I'm really asking this as I have my suspicions. I'm getting gas in the oil. The truck sits more than it's driven and pretty much every last part is new. Truck was completely rebuilt from the chassis up. I started noticing smoke at start up (smells like fuel) and I noticed my oil...

    PTE60-1 turbo oil seals (smoking bad)

    Ok so my Ty started smoking out the tailpipe and has been gradually getting worse. It's now to the point that if I'm sitting at a light it looks like the truck is on fire and you can smell burning oil. The engine is brand new (well 500 miles if that). Tonight I was working on some other things...

    relocating Ign module?

    I've been having hot start issues pretty much ever since I've had a typhoon. Engine gets up to temp, shut it off, try to restart it and it cranks tries to start once then will crank until the battery goes dead. The only way I can get it start is if I hold the throttle wide while cranking. It...

    Been having some problems with my truck getting hot while driving. Just put the truck together and have about 500 or so miles on the build. The engine, radiator and electric fan came right out of my old truck and went into the new one. The only thing I changed was I put an Edlebrock aluminum...

    not impressed with hydroboost brakes!

    I took my truck to the track on Saturday and I wasn't happy with the hydroboost/4 wheel C5 disc brakes. I could only hold about 5 psi of boost before the truck started pushing through the brakes. What gives?? I spent all this money so I wouldn't have to deall with reving it neutral with vacuum...

    PLX reads different than DM

    Anybody have this issue? I have my PLX WBO2 wired to the ECM following the write-ups I've found on here and code59.org. Nolan setup up my .bin with the PLX patch but my digital gauge reads different than what's on datamaster. Makes it tough to tune that way. When I'm steady throttle driving...
