well, the main reason i am willing to spend the money to rebuild this engine and get it in nice working order is the fact that ill be more familiar with engines, right now its mostly a learning experience with the k8, and then once i think ive had enough experience repairing the older engine ...

about how much would new headers and piston rings cost? i know that my back 3 pistons aren't firing (1, 3, and 5)

im going to replace those and the o-rings (i think thats right) so i can rule them out, and fix the burning oil problem

how much work would this be, and would i have to pull the engine ...

its fine, its help, and thats what i need, lol, but yeah, ill try and get my hands on a disty for testing, ill check timing, and would it be wise for me to change the timing belt on my own (no experience with it), cause i know someone who would probably help me with that, but yeah, first is to get ...

Here are some common first steps -
- Perform normal maintenance (Plugs, wires, rotor, cap)
- Check for vaccum leaks
- Check timing
- Reset ECU



i replaced the sparkplugs, wires all spark, need to check cap and rotors,
where do i check for vaccum leaks (could be a compression problem), and i know ...

ive started making a habit of searching for this, but im a bit confused when i checked a few things out....

when i get it up and running, which it usually can by turn of the key, or if that doesnt work, i pop started it once, and it ran, it runs really bad. when i push on the acceleration, it ...

i looked at the faq for the hei mod, and im a little confused, im not really sure what to do with it though...

im not sure what to buy, im pretty sure my disty went out, and i think i should get a new one, and then figure out how to do a hei mod, but i dont really know what to look for (still a newb at cars), could anyone help me?

i dunno if this is even close, but i started having that kinda problem when my belt broke, (the idling), mine was from a broken pulley that now need a new bracket when i get the money :-/

when my alt went out, the ac was not working right, the lights were extremely dim, if on at all, the dials dipped and went back up, to test this, you run your car, get a volt meter, and check the volts out (from the battery), if its (im not 100% sure) below 14, then your alts goin, mine was at about ...

heck yes, hah

as far as i know, it doesnt, i have a 93gs also, and dont have one so *shrug*, i wish i had one though, i just used my ebrake to hold a bottle still though, its a neat little trick i picked up

im probably not right, but if your idle adjustment screw isnt right, then it could be messing with your idle, do you know if its ever been adjusted?

so should i just try it? i think i need to drain the power steering, take off the tube, take out the power steering resiviour, then take off the power steering pulley, then take off the bracket? probably a bit more... ive tried finding more information on it, but i havnt had much luck finding it

haha, i was actually using omaha as a reference (most people dont know about bellevue), gotta love planes at all times of the night (airforce base), but yeah, im just now getting into the mechanical side of cars, and learning about them, mostly through the mx-3 i bought, which wasnt well taken care ...
