thanks for the deets. holy shit that Tribodyn is $$$.

This is terrific data! Sadly, I can't really tell what all is relevant and/or the overall meaning. Is the end result that RP 5W30 is now the go-to and rotella is shit? i just bought 2 new jugs of rotella so i need to know if i wasted my funds.

what viscosity of royal purple do you use? they don't sell the 5w-40 in a large container for whatever reason. at least i couldn't find it. that's odd.

just thinking here...y'all think that cleaning/upgrading these seals would get rid of all (if not, most) of KR? not sure what else could cause KR as i'm not a pro at all the inner workings.

looks like a nice service. and those seals look to be about on par, cost wise, with others i've seen. seems like a good winter project when i can also check the valves again. that way if their turnaround is on the long side i won't have to have the car sitting. thanks for the tips and...

thanks for the info. i found a youtube vid that shows a guy removing them (i honestly forgot that they were under the intake manifold...fuuuuck. and he cleaned them himself with a very soft scrub pad. i'm not sure that's the best way to do it, but that's just how he did it. also he did not...

what kind of place cleans injectors? just any random shop? i assume it's not DIY else people here would be doing that. will have to look into seals. my car has around 51k on it.

I did mine at around 47k and it was absolutely filthy. I hadn’t done an EGR delete at that point either. Did it all at once. It’s worth doing if you can find a way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i should caveat that i only put about 3500 miles on my car in the summer nowadays. so it'll be a few years before i do it again. 30k would be a decade between services. maybe that's fine... not sure if you've done a tear down like that before...but i was most nervous that i'd forget to plug...

damn. you got a lot goin on. :) FWIW, i plan on doing this every 15k miles or so.

this is the one i used: https://www.harborfreight.com/21-oz-hopper-gravity-feed-spot-blaster-gun-95793.html?cid=paid_google|||95793&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=&utm_content=&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0caCBhCIARIsAGAfuMxMwjD55CrWAU2fEPnUw3YmUO97EUQBppiojNed6jTno7_GmSnmTz4aAutiEALw_wcB i...

i bought a 25lb box from harbor freight. used a few lbs of it. wrapped it up and will keep it for next time. was way too much but it's cheap enough that you don't want to run out in the middle of the operation.

how often do end links take a shit? i know some can be random but...once you get a bigger bar and some new suspension does that tend to wear them out quicker? or is it cuz you're hammering the car in x-cross or somethin?

Think I read that somewhere that they’d work. But I never know. Ordered oem versions. Hope they hold up as well as current ones have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

holy shit, man. either you have a REAL good memory, take good notes, or so many pictures you'd never forget. good on you for rescuing the car and taking care of it. good luck to you in your continued journey and updates. :)

I'm scared! lol. prolly just buy OEM for peace of mind and hope they aren't shit.

I have seen MOOG mentioned in a number of threads. can't tell what kind of quality they offer. i hate to use price as the almighty measurement, but most aftermarket parts for our car seem to be more expensive (some way more) than the OEM replacement (talking Tasca prices, not the 400% dealer...

that's the conclusion i came to as well. however, i went ahead and ordered the B14 bilstein coilover kit. with the struts/shocks/springs it's honestly a little cheaper (thanks, Rock Auto!) and should do the job. what i read, in terms of big difference, is a linear spring rate (e.g. swift) vs...

based on what you said above, i wouldn't say the motor is just hanging on. it's within spec. it's quite a range, but it's there. who's to say that even if you pull the motor and send it in that it won't have an issue later? i guess what i mean by that is why not just worry about it when you...

you just described my whole life.
