    PNW Turbo 6 builders

    My 87 TurboT has been out of commision for too long. 2 years ago I parked it after a hearing load knocking just above idle. I pulled the timing cover and dropped the pan and found little bits of metal. The main bearings were wearn thin, but I don't think it got the crank (I may have cought it...

    Cam Button / timing cover issues

    The cam button that was in it was not stock, and was not big. I can't recall how much damage the stock button did. I rebuilt it about 8 years ago and replaced it and the cam then. I blew a head gasket 2 years ago, replaced lifters while I had the heads off - one lifter went bad and flatten a...

    Cam Button / timing cover issues

    I pulled the pan today and found metal shaving. I'm not happy:mad: I checked a few of the bearing and they were shot. It doesn't look like the crank has must damage- I hope not, it's been turned before and I can afford to replace it right now. I will be pulling it this week to figure...

    Cam Button / timing cover issues

    The cam is a 109/109 cam - I'll have to look for the reciept to get the manufacturer, but the button fits correctly in the end and I had several hundred miles on it before the noise. I am not sure it's the button is causing the noise. The cam sensor was replaced 6 years ago (30,000 miles)...

    Cam Button / timing cover issues

    Not sure. I just ordered a kit from Napa, should I go with the GM cover gasket? I hear they're thinner.

    Cam Button / timing cover issues

    The timing gears seem to be tight to the block and aligned. Maybe the spring in the cam button was weak.. Does the cover look like it needs to be replaced? Thanks, Mick

    Cam Button / timing cover issues

    I had a knocking / loud tapping sound after the car got warm. I took the timing cover off and found some wear on the cover and cam button. The strange thing is, the wear on the cover is the same diameter as the end of the cam, not the button.?? Is this normal when a cam button goes bad? Do...

    Rebuilt MAF sensors

    I got one from Napa. It's the Echlin (2-17851), however it is hourglass shaped :confused: . I havn't taken it out of the plastic in case I ask for a refund. Zam70 is this the part number of the MAF that worked for you. Anyone - please let me know if this one will work / has worked. I can...

    Who is selling remanufactured MAF, and has anyone had good or bad experiences with them?

    Please help-Starts, won't idle or run right..

    Yes it idles pretty good without it. I think you're right, it is a bad MAF. I'll try to borrow one to confirm that. I can't find a stock replacement, any sugestions? I use a OTC. It's not perfect but it works. Maybe the low fan relay is bad. I found the battery drain. It was my amp...

    Please help-Starts, won't idle or run right..

    Another thing that is weird. The fan does not come on until after 200 degrees. I have a 160 termostat, a 4 row radiator, and my car never ran more than 175...???

    Please help-Starts, won't idle or run right..

    I can get it to idle OK with the MAF and up pipe off. Bit I can't get the IAC right (it will not go lower than 91 - should be below 45). It also seems that the Idle Air Control (IAC) Motor makes alot of adjustments.?? The MAF is not sending a code. When it went bad 5 years ago, I could...

    Please help-Starts, won't idle or run right..

    I blew my head gasket 8 months ago. After dealing with that, and replacing a cam due to wasting a lobe, I finally got it up and running. I broke the new cam in and everything seemed fine. I drove it about a mile the next day and everything seemed normal. Two day later it wouldn't idle and...

    MAT sensor wiring question

    The wires for my MAT (stock location=air box) were pulled out of the plug. It may not matter, but could someone tell me which side the ground goes in so I can get the sensor wired correct. I'd hate to smoke the sensor or ??. Thanks,
