Hoping someone has the pieces I'm missing. I'm missing the j hook, spare washer and metal piece that holds lug wrench down. I've attached a pic of the complete set and what I have. Thanks

This is a fresh rebuild with Wiesco forged pistons. Only put 5 miles on the car and maybe couple of hours run time. I put a flat tappet cam in it and the lifters were ticking, so I thought instead of hoping to get a good set of lifters I would put a roller cam in. After pulling the intake, I...

Buick has been down for a while and I'm almost there. Ordered the fuel pump yesturday so hopefully it will be all together when it gets here. Spun a rod and while the motor was out I decided to do some detail on the engine bay and change the heater core. This is how it's turned out so far.

This is the rear cam bearing. Should I be concerned? I wanted to get some expert input before I take it back the the machine shop and listen to their excuses. Thanks

Got my block back from the machine shop and wasn't sure if the front cam bearing is in deep enough. The passenger side looks fine, but I'm not sure about the driver side. Should I take it back and have them drive it in a little more?

It's time for tires for the rear of the GN. I loved the look of the 275/50/15 BFG T/A's but they don't make them anymore and no one makes that size except for in DR's. I'm afraid 295/50 will be to wide and 275/60 will look to tall and narrow. I would run the DR's but I'm not sure how long they...

If the block doesn't need to be line bored, is it worth the extra money to install steel caps? Do the stock caps crack? I don't recall ever seeing someone mention a broken main cap. Looking for 11.0's.

I did a seach and couldn't find anyone having this problem. The car starts fine, runs fine for about 2 minutes then between 2000 and 2500 the car starts to stutter. Almost like someone is turning the key off/on. I can accelerate through this rpm range and the car pulls strong. After it warms...

Sometimes (a lot) accelerating normally from a stop, the car will stumble. One thing I noticed, when it does stumble my vacuum reading jumps to almost zero. When it does recover, the vacuum goes back to around 8 inches then moves steadily towards zero like it does when it takes off normally...

Can anyone recommend a good machine shop for the turbo engines. I need to have the crank turned and the block bored. Also, what rod would y'all recommend for a combination running about 7.00 in the 1/8. The high dollar rods aren't in the budget. Thanks

I'm putting my engine back together and found a cracked piston. Would this crack cause a light knock. The knock sounded like the knock the GM pickups make when you first crank them up. I haven't found anything else in the engine. Does anyone have a stock turbo piston they would like to sell?

Car developed a knock, so I'm looking for a 109 short block, from a rebuilder to all ready built. If anyone has one or knows of one please let me know. Thanks,

I'm looking to upgrade my turbo. I'm currently running a PT-51 and would like to go up to a 60 series. Does anyone have a 60 series they would like to part with, preferably in the Houston area. Thanks, Tommy

It's time to replace the rear fillers. I know this is a very common problem. I did a search to find out which is better ABS or fiberglass since the GM pieces are currently $310 each, and did not find much information. I don't know which one I should buy or where should I get them. Any help...

About what 60' should the left front wheel come off the ground foot braking. It sure seems like I'm getting close.

Last weekend the car ran good at the track. During the week I put a stall converter in, art carr 3k LU. Drove it around the neighborhood, seemed fine. Did a compression check, OK. I get to the track(1/8) and it spits and sputters past half track. Fuel pressure 70PSI and boost at 20 (has run...

I would like to get opinons on what would be the best performance part to purchase in my quest to go faster. Car is set up like sig, with Walbro 307 hotwired and i have new valve springs i have yet to install. They just put in a new 1/8th mile track nearby and I want to show'em what a TR will...

From what I have read, the PP will reduce knock with low octane fuel so you can run higher boost levels on the street. What about at the track using racing fuel, will I see much of a drop in ET? I'm wondering if this is the next go fast goody before the heads are ported and a bigger cam. TIA

I'm going to Sealy to tune in the car, and was hoping to see other TR's there. Tonight they are having the Steet Warriors which is really cool. Tommy

I was wondering what is the best et anyone has gotten out of the PT-51? I haven't seen any comments that suggested it would take you very far. I'm thinking about the next step and wondering if my turbo is what will hold me back. Here is my set up: Stock: motor, suspension, torque converter and...
