Did you break a valve spring? What brand transmission jack is that? I like how compact it is.

Re: LastCallKillIt's Project: ANGRY BIRD

I only pulled the drivers side valve cover. I rotated the engine efter and everything looked normal. Tranny jack is a cheapo harbor freight I think. Borrowed it.

Re: LastCallKillIt's Project: ANGRY BIRD

Almost there. I sure hope its not broke

Re: LastCallKillIt's Project: ANGRY BIRD

So I accidentally started it last night lol

It was still on stands, apparently my buddy never took the key out of the "ON" position, and the gear selector was in "1". We were gonna bleed the brakes and I was making the final under the hood connections and went ahead and put the negative cable in. That's when I heard "ERR ERR ERR ERR VARROOOOOOMMM!!! WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP WAP!" no oil in the car, or coolant in the cooling system. Good thing I lubed everything in the engine prior lol

Can drive it yet, found it now has coolant leaks from the heater hose fittings, so back to waiting on parts...

It runs. It acted like it wanted to stall when I put it in reverse, I was gonna re position it but it started idling weird when I did that so I shut it off.

Re: LastCallKillIt's Project: ANGRY BIRD

Yep somethings not right. I unlocked the trans dipstick tube to check the level. It started spewing out...

[LastCallKillIt]

Re: LastCallKillIt's Project: ANGRY BIRD

Fixed. Vent tube was pinched.

Re: LastCallKillIt's Project: ANGRY BIRD

Just got my exhaust redone its now modified to being similar to a TSP Rumbler set-up, it now has a Dynomax 2.5" Bullet. Clip sometime soon.

Also, swapped out my MSD Coils for the OEM's I have. Hopefully that solves the intermittent misfires, if not I'll try new wires next.

Until then check the new steez.

No mas black WS6 centers and black lug caps.

Re: LastCallKillIt's Project: ANGRY BIRD

Wonderful, SES light on the way from class. Had two prior to exhaust. 1 being the cat o2 sensor since it wasn't connected and one was a bank 1 or 2 o2 sensor low voltage. Not sure which bank, but I just figured it was from the open headers since low voltage at a pre-cat is a lean condition. I'll have to stop by Advance tomorrow and scan it. Not what it is if it's that still with the exhuast back on. 1 it could be a now skewed sensor, or if its bank 2 it could be a false lean, sounds like there is a slight exhaust leak from bank 2 at the header gasket region, butI had exhuast leak at both lat time with no codes, so Im a little confused.

[LastCallKillIt]

Re: LastCallKillIt's Project: ANGRY BIRD

Both O2's replaced, discovered Bank 2 was somehow hand tight. Installed the exhaust cross member mr exhaust shop forgot to put back on. Put back seats back in, got the transmission mount snugged back down and made my 500 mile switch from Valvoline Conventional to Valvoline Synpower which now exceed Dexos1 requirements, and change my oil filter from Purolator Classic to a K&N.

Also foot powdered the pan area and the best I can tell is the leak is coming from the back of the pan gasket where the Y-Pipe is in the way of verifying those bolts are tight.
