I'd get this one checked out first by someone who knows aluminum cylinder heads (and not old school iron).
I'd sooner rework an existing head for $1000, including new bronze guides and cutting new valve seats, than buy a parts store replacement...
I went with mostly all Delphi from rockauto for control arms and tie rods for the front end. Everything feels just as sturdy as oem. But I plan to upgrade to Fiba upper control arms and volk lowers when I start tracking the car more.
I will see what I can dig up. I basically datalog all the time but many times I've been dumb and didn't stop the log when I changed parameters on the fly, so I don't have accurate FPS configuration saved in all cases. This was Sept of '22, just...
Thanks guys, i have another trans being built by Rix racing at the moment, just didn’t want the same thing to happen to that one because swapping these out is kind of a pain haha and I figured it had to be something I was doing wrong because I...
As me fioned above clean everything. Forget to clean the cooler as its gone. Like like oil coolers when a besring goes on you its a consumable so thrown away for a new one.Open up the valve body and clean the solenoids and every section inside...
Absolutely forgot that. Great advice.Just buy a new trans cooler and lines tbh. Kits are inexpensive and it’s not worth risking a few stubborn pieces of metal being lodged that’ll ruin another good trans.
I will add that if you did or do not flush out the transmission cooler lines really really well, you will continue to contaminate any new parts or new converters and transmissions that you install into that car or onto those cooler lines.
If it has that much metal in it, it needs a rebuild because that metal is in literally every orifice and spot in the entire transmission. The clutches, on the bands, in the converter, in the pump, etc. so unfortunately that’s a wrap. At minimum...
I won't say I'm an expert at ANYTHING, LOL, but if locktite is holding my converter bolts from loosening up and my crank sprocket up front, if it were mine, I'd use the glue and let it set up for a few days. It doesn't see that much heat, but I'd...
I'll share some pictures of some cool stuff I found while unloading the interior of the new car and one outside.It still has the factory air damn for the radiator. SUPER win in my eyes.A Tonneau cover! It's in decent shape and a lighter gray...
Naturally as a red 1ga owner I completely agree lol. My goal this year is to get her re painted/seats re upholstered. I’d love to have the exterior match the pure sex of the engine bay.
Dude you were in my backyard lol, I’m assuming that was a Facebook marketplace find? I’m not on Facebook so I’m never aware of what’s for sale, anyways that’s a nice score for free holy cow :hellyeah:So were you just really wanting a 1ga? Your...
I just calibrated mine when the car was turned on but not running so I could do idle and WOT. I don't remember any issues with anything on that but you must be having a problem??? I will re-read the post and see what I may have missed. We are...
