I bought one. Very poor quality. Cooler was dirty inside and out. Looking into the passages I could see from intake to exit. The cooler was basically bypassing itself. Sent it back. Find an OEM Behr...

I’ve seen leaks here from the “plate” being warped from over tightening. The solution is to sand it flat again on a flat surface. It’s the aluminum piece with the 3 bolts holding it on.

If you are using points, then you don’t need to shield the trigger wire. The signal wires that Scott is talking about is for magnetic sensors like on the SC. The white wire is for points.

You don’t nessesarily need to remove the cam bolt or nut. You can leave the right side alone, just check to make sure timing is in spec. The left side can just be repositioned 1 tooth to get it back...

This law gets introduced every year. It’s just a fund raising tool, not a serious proposal.

You don’t have to be perfectly aligned to adjust the valves. Just pop the distributor cap and use where the rotor is pointing.

Smaller venturies will not help with your low end torque. What will help is taller intake manifolds. A one inch longer intake path will move your torque curve 500 rpm or so lower. Many race cars with...

The piston rocks around the wrist pin. The size at the “edge is less important than in the middle of the skirt. I’m not going to talk you out of new Euro pistons, that’s a great option.

A new set should have about .05mm clearance between the piston and cylinder. The measurement should be on the skirt of the piston. The piston is smaller at the top where the rings are. Sounds like...

This forum doesn’t deal much with later model cars such as yours. That being said, the compression numbers you post seem higher than any engine I’ve heard about. The leak down numbers are high but...

If the clamp was missing that could be why the boot failed. It doesn’t look like a quality problem. Either the clamp was never there or broke, possibly due to debris.

You can make the adjustments with the car in the air, then check when back on the ground. You have to do both sides the same amount to keep the steering wheel straight. I calculate how much to turn...

I wouldn’t use the Wevo on a street car. It transmits noise in all gears except 3 and 4. Your best bet is to repair the original shifter and coupler.

That should be able to work. Not sure what CV setup you’ll find but either way is similar. If it has a “cap” you can just pop it off with a screwdriver and hammer, being careful about damage. If no...

Smaller tire sizes won’t trigger problems as long as the front and rear are similar diameter. The car doesn’t know what size tires it has. I would use R compound tires cheaper and more durable than...

I have the same problem. Bushings are too small. I was planning to ream them to size, but it’s very annoying to get defective parts.

You don’t need to remove the castilated nut if you have the allen head bolts at that end of the shaft.

Sounds like a single valve clack. One valve extremely loose. Tenstoners make more of a machine gun sound.

If they aren’t leaking, don’t touch them. Fix them one at a time if they start to leak (they probably won’t). If you disturb them some will almost certainly leak.
