    4L ford to 3.8L vs

    Just changing the injectors anf throttle body wont give you any noticeable difference, you usually only change injectors when your engine needs more fuel like when you put a cam in or increase the engine capacity. If you want more power, i suggest you look at the mace website and look at...

    Who's 1.9.1 roller rockers are better?

    Its chalk and cheese. Like a comparrison between rooting a bloke or a sheila, the one with the bloke will do but just wont be very nice, where as with the sheila is much better and you can tell all your mates. lol get the yella terra ones.

    Custom ecotec covers

    Putting that cover makes it look like ou are trying to make your engine bay look like a v8, and thus in turn you end up looking like a complete tosser. But what ever floats your boat.

    Changing brake pads - Do it myself or pay mechanic?

    The best advice you can get will be this 1. Go and buy yourself a GREGORYS manual for your car. 2. Also buy or borrow a set of car stands they are usually around 50 to 70 dollars a set, NEVER NEVER work on a car just sopported by a jack. 3. When you remove the wheel slide it in...

    [Ecotec] something a little different??

    Sounds like you already got all the answers you figure it out. Again what a waste of everything, spend thousands on a dry sump setup, custom timing belt setup, custom water pump all just to do the same kob as all the factory gear does right now, you wont be making anymore...

    Vs ute engine problems

    idle air control valve stuck open maybe. Take off the engine cover and the intake and start the car, give it a couple a revs and when it stays revving check to see if the throttle butterfly is closed all the way, try and open and close the throttle butterfly while running an make sure it...

    Why anyone would want their car that low is beyond me, you might aswell put in a full air bag setup and be done with it. The airbage you speak of are actually called POLY AIR SPRINGS they are a small air bag housed within their own spring, they will help out with your ass dragging on the...

    you wont get any noticeable gains from these.

    [Ecotec] something a little different??

    You can get a water pump like that from ZZ Performance in the states. You wont be able to run a timing belt with the ecotec for the following reasons. 1. you wont be able to see it cause the front cover will hide it.(not really a reason why you wont be able to do it, just wont see it.) 2...

    Head Gsakets??????????????

    Yeah i have decided on cometics and ARP head studs, i'll just have to suck it up if i ever have to change head gaskets or something like that. I just took a set of heads in the the machinist to get the valves and seats reground and heads skimmed, he was shocked when i said i was running...

    The following photo's are from the engine i have just pulled down, these are the main caps and are numbered 1 through 4 left to right Notice the increased wear the further you get away from the oil pump, the conrod bearings have this same wear like these further away from oil pump worse wear...

    [Ecotec] Ecotec oil pressure/ feed problem .....

    I will be feeding the oil back into the same gallery the mains are fed from and letting the small cross over gallery in the rear plate handle the feed for the LH lifter gallery. I am not touching the small cross over gallery in the rear plate, the whole purpose of running the equaliser pipe is...

    [Ecotec] Ecotec oil pressure/ feed problem .....

    I am getting rid of the balance shaft and replacing the stock timing set with a double row rollmaster, as i have said in my previous post by running an equaliser tube directly from the oil pump down to the back of the engine and plumbing it into the rear plate the engine is fed from both ends...

    Head Gsakets??????????????

    I personally have never had any problems with using MLS head gaskets rebuilding diesels, and probably wont have any problem with them in an ecotec.

    I have been told by my tuner thet i'll be changing composite gaskets every 3 or 4 months, i really dont know what to do. If i spend the dollars on cometics and they leak i have blown 200 bucks. But If i buy composite gaskets and they blow somewhere inconvenient i'll be pissed......

    [Ecotec] Ecotec oil pressure/ feed problem .....

    The galleries i am talking about are in the oil filter housing itself not the ones in the engine, so why then does everyone raise their oil pressure by using a stronger relief valve spring??? The ecotec engines i have rebuilt all seem to suffer the same problem, the further away from the oil...
