    Saw a Nice Speed6... good CL price... Easy repair, just a little Rod knock

    At the rate of spending in parts, would be a good reminder. I will take that all or none under consideration! Especially if I go over budget for L19 studs, ARP2000's will have to do. . At least Cosmetic head gasket is shipping. This time last year was a long wait..for the other engine.

They owned a Buick >>White with Niner Red (fur) interior and Gold cloth trim added by Dad... She tried to give it to me...

    Saw a Nice Speed6... good CL price... Easy repair, just a little Rod knock

    My 65th bday gifts arrived..$657.86 worth of machining. Amazing what a soda blast, machine wash does. Head decked .010 was two passes, PO had used a "sander" shocking. Block deck was .010 also, brush hone deglazed. Ports soda blasted, same for gasket surfaces on valve cover, timing cover, pan...

    Saw a Nice Speed6... good CL price... Easy repair, just a little Rod knock

    That was the first plan. Until I measured crank journal and found 0.028 missing. Was very surprised.. looked for oversized bearings for ours not many sizes .. Unlike V8's. Rod was worn completely on top bottom of journal not bolt sides... looks oval. So rod replacement, just head off..Super...

    Saw a Nice Speed6... good CL price... Easy repair, just a little Rod knock

    Here is the "build sheet" remember this is the perspective of the owner who was not the builder...Just the last before me owner. Very nice juicy stuff, what was listed is in place. Upon disassembly though, obvious to see the Diagnosis for repair was way off. Some very important sensors that...

    So....since my 07 Speed 3 was a Craigslist killer deal. Thought that this Speed6 would be a easy repair of one cylinder rod Knock. CL Ad data was honest and detail descriptive. Seller talk went well. Rent trailer....drive time would be a whole day trip to Port Angeles on Olympic Peninsula...

    Radium Engineering PCV Plate

    I decided that the radium plate was my choice. Yes I like the look, and the additional air/oil flow plate/dam. The integrated screw in PVC valve on the eco boost plate kit is a nice option. If you decide only the plate kit the ecoboost one will hook up just like OEM. Diamond kit has better...

    What did you do to your ride today

    Ok.... Another fomoco fubar.. Yes I know I did the order wrong.... But really...Power steering last??? GD seems simple to remember, but I have 7 vehicles and thus my abused oldman memory gets fuzzy until I get to this happy spot. Just in case, better leave with positive thoughts... At least the...

    What did you do to your ride today

    Having done this twice so far in situ this is the fomoco fubar technology. On engine stand much nicer for a crappy task.

    StreetSpeed’s DD 500+ MS6 Build

    Actually you nailed it!!! Pulled my first speed engine and was removing a couple of hangers.. wires, hoses and of course the ram had a very slow leak down... Ended up using 2X4's to brace it after assembly pull but before tranny separation. Of course...only then did I remember instructions that...

    StreetSpeed’s DD 500+ MS6 Build

    Nice. Use mine for any lifting jobs as needed. Never realized how much I needed for other than engines. Double check hydraulic fluid. HBF gives a small notice, but HBF uses a small amount of hydraulic fluid for shipping and I've returned a ram because of low fluid (my fault)

    Corksport turbo for stock 2007 with 160k?

    The VersaTune OTS are really for exhaust, fueling, throttle plate changes. If you do anything to intake, no OTS VersaTune Tunes are able to change the MAF to reflect that. With your choice of turbo you Will at some point change intake plumbing. if that helps your choices. You would then require...

    Corksport turbo for stock 2007 with 160k?

    To steer your decision tree on costs ..VersaTune is not really useful unless you buy the more expensive version. The free logging only is a good option. I started there and then went with the next step flashable tunes, but with the fact you want a larger turbo you will likely need the full...

    MS3 Gen 2 with Gen1 engine? Help before purchase

    Honestly that price is my opinion very high. The engine would have to be perfect. No pictures in link except body and interior. You haven't said if your mechanical skills are going to assess the engine health. Will you be getting a paid mechanic service to validate engine? Receipts for any...

    Well its out!

    Nicely done. Was staring at the power steering tank and finally seen what a electric pump one looks like! I always gotta look close at a bare bay. Like anything opened up .. more interesting on the inside.

    Installing VVT and Timing Components

    I've always thought your directions were extremely good. Read a few times before attempting process. Thank you! BAW big ass wrench on camshaft wrench flat is as said above best approach. A week or so I have to retorque ARP head nuts and will again read thoroughly. Since only exhaust cam bolt...
