The loctite product list confuses me. I use Wurth high strength thread locker on flywheel bolts (not ridiculously hard to get undone) and medium strength on...
I have used the Red product on drive axle nuts on a Fiat and was certainly able to remove the nuts on subsequent occasions. I have used it on Audi suspension...
Well I got a preliminary report this morning and the first thing he asked is if this car had been sitting a long time. Yes it had before I bought it and of...
No, I said upgrade. They don't have an exact match for the original so if you used this it could run rich. Check out the rest of the thread. Bob S. ... parts...
Sorry for the delayed response, I haven't had a great deal of time to work on the car, with school and all, but today I was able to tinker with it a bit. The...
Jon, Hmmm,,, Looks like extra something on the passenger side to burn, and it's oxygen starved, high CO (not enough O2 to make CO2) and low CO2 (not enough O2...
Hey! If cams are misaligned this can happen. You will get very different readings on the two banks. Cheers, Jarle ... oxygen starved, high CO (not enough O2 to...
... Hi Frank, Ron Carlson sells what he calls the maserati biturbo compendium, and it contains a few pages about a/c compressors. He's on this message board...
Question regarding timing the valves, is the only adjustment a "rough" adjustment like the cam being off by a tooth, or is there a "fine"/more accurate of an...
I'll try taking some readings when the engine is cold. FWIW I checked the valve clearences and here are the results: (in mm) Passenger Side: Cyl #1 Intake:...
Hey! Use a dial indicator to make some temporary marks on the cams. The original marks may not be accurate anymore, because of valve train wear. Then use the...
I think I'd recommend doing a couple of snap throttle tests & see what happens to the exhaust gases under load. In addition, consider the injectors aren't...
Relo is almost certainly a go, and Spyder's not coming along. Will be for sale in the next month. I'll take some pix this weekend and get an Ofoto page...
You can also grind them yourself fairly easily if they're not too far off with some 200 and 400 wet-dry paper and a piece of plate glass. The hard part is...
I've heard that the cam boxes can be tricky, care to elaborate? Jon ... From: staatsof <staats@...> To: BiturboZentrum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,...
Well as I get ready to assemble (finally) my GOC engine I decided to purchase a sensitive scale and weight the various parts of the engine just to see how well...
Bob, thats some really interesting reading! I am hoping to get a crank/piston/rod assembly balanced soon as well. How do they balance the pistons/rods to the...
Hey! sorry i have picked up on this late Jarle, but in the interests of balancing a motor well, isn;t flow benching highly recommended? Im sure it is only one...
Bob, Actually, with piston clearance, closer is usually better. The piston skirt cools better with less clearance. All the heat being pumped into the crown has...
Tony, When you mentioned higher silicon content, were you referring to hypereutectic pistons? Tim "There's no such thing as a stupid question... But there are...
Exactly! They don't grow as much as other alloys, and they wear extremely well. The down side is that they are brittle and diamond tools are pretty much...
Thanks Tony but it's going start going back together tomorrow. I know about the big and small end but as I understand it having a really good jig for this on a...
