Do i still need the pulley tool if im holding the crank at the flywheel though? My understanding was the tool was needed to hold the pulley either way.

Ok thanks, i remember the way we got it off is by putting in the flywheel bolts and holding it down with a prybar. Ill probably just use that method to hold it down while i put the bolt in. Not sure where ill be able to get the tool that holds the pulley down though. Hopefully i can find one...

Sweet thanks. When it comes to these crank shaft holding tools, they only really hold the pulley right? From my understanding ill need someone holding the crank with a prybar at the flywheel side while i torque down the bolt and hold down the pulley with the SST? I know the alignment bolt is...

So I finally got all my valve clearances within spec. I got lucky. Since i already had two heads, i only needed to buy two buckets and even after putting the new buckets in, one of them was too tight and I ended up just putting a bucket I had from an other engine. Also got the fuel rail on and...

Yeah i can see that, i already have an intake valve that has 0.356mm of clearence. So far, i already have 5 clearences that are over spec (out of 7 i checked). I need to wait for amazon to ship out my other feeler gauges (the bent ones), since i can only really fit mine in some spots. Also just...

Thanks, hopefully i wont need to get some more buckets considering i have 32 extra ones sitting around

So quick update. Thanks to @JohnnyTightlips I was saved from a crazy headache. Ends up all valves on cylinder #4 were bent. The way i found out was by trying to lap one, realizing it was only grinding on one side. After putting the valve in a drill chuck and giving it a few turns, i noticed the...

Best part is I already have the tools and the compound so i guess ill do it, i just needed a little kick to do it. I was just worried that I might cause more harm than good.

So time has come to start this thread. Quick summary: Bought MS6 Bought more MS6 (broken one) broke MS6 :( It became the donor. Now building new MS6 Background: The grey MS6 was my daily for a while until the VVT gave out. At that point, I decided it was time to build the clean (red...

So, in order to regain my sanity, i checked my clearances with plastiguage. 0.002 clearances almost on the dot (according to my eyes). Either i didn't measure my clearances right or didn't torque my mains right when trying to measure the first time.

p0137 is your bank 1 sensor 2 o2 sensor. It monitors the state of the cat ( i think ). Since you got a catless downpipe, the ECU is reading abnormal values from the 2nd sensor. You can get an adapter that will help with the engine light by moving the 2nd o2 sensor further away from the exhaust...

What downpipe did you install? Catted or catless?

That is your power steering pressure switch i believe. Continuity happens when pressure is introduced in the power steering system so if you put one lead on ground and an other on that terminal and turn your wheels, you should see power going through. When your wheels are strait it should have...

Any idea what could be causing the clearance to be so wide? Ill check to see if the used bolts stretched at all from comparing with the new ones. I just dont see how my clearances are so wide if my crank specs out ... Unless the bore the crankshaft sits in is too wide from manufacturing or some...

Sweet ill definitely give it a read. Ive been doing research all winter getting ready for the next few months. Hopefully all this prep work will pay off this summer :)

Heard of that track, ill probably end up there soon if my build dosent fail catastrophicly. Currently in the process of building it myself. Taking this as a learning opportunity :) I have an other thread about an issue im running into with clearance thats causing me to lose sleep hah Ill...

I might be completely wrong but i thought boost was only really dangerous at low rpm. If my assumption is right then it depends what rpm you are at not the gear.

Never really looked as the ms6 will be my first race car. Im sure they have tons though.

Nice! Any good tracks around the Mississauga region? Theres not much here up in Ottawa from what I know. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk
