Good Day, Boy, it's been a while since I've been on the board, looks nice though! Anyway, I sold the GN I while back cause Uncle Sam sent me 2600 miles from where I was, but just today I discovered some left over parts. I've got an E-Prom chip burned by BM computer source about a year and a...

Gentlemen, Well sadly the time has come to let the “Black Mistress” go on down the road. Rather than try to squeeze everything about the car into this post, I’d like to just hit the high points and then refer you to a website I set up with all of the information on it. The website is...

Gentlemen, I rebuilt my motor about 500 miles ago and I've worked out all my bugs except my rough idle. Sometimes the car idles fine, but most of the time it's rough. I reset the IAC but it did'nt seem to help. I drove around last week with the A/C on wide open for 45 minutes with a great...

Gentlemen, I thought this information was very interesting, you probably will as well. In September 1985, four Soviet diplomats in Beirut were kidnapped by members of Hezbollah. One of them, Arkady Katkov, was shot in the head, and the rest were imprisoned. The terrorists wanted the Soviet...

Guys, Does anyone have the part number for the piece your oil cooler adapter screws onto? It's the piece you unbolt to get to your oil pump gears. I guess you would call it the lower half of your oil pump. Thanks - BB

Guys, Can the oil pan gasket be changed out with the motor in the car? It looks like it could by removing the crossover pipe, but I'm worried about the pick up tube inside the pan. What do you think? - BB

Gentlemen, I need some sources for a cork oil pan gasket, and a HV oil pump. Does anyone have some suggestions or part numbers? The local parts shops are showing a rubber pan gasket only. As far as the pump goes I just want to get one that will push enough oil to be an environmental hazard if...

Good Day to All, Well I put my motor back in the car and fired it up yesterday. After a few tries she ignited and I waited about 10 seconds before taking it up to 2000 RPM's for 30 minutes. (Cam break in proceedures). The cam is a Postons GT107, it's about a 202/202 cam, pretty mild. About 10...

Is there any good info out there for breaking in a freshly rebuilt motor? The pistons, cam, lifters, etc are all new. Thanks for the help guys. - BB

Gentlemen, Well, my rocker arms are not stamped the way they're supposed to be, not one single "L" or "R" on any of them. I don't know if they're aftermarkets or not. Anyone got any suggestions on how to mount them on the shafts? Also, the placement of the shafts, I know the extra hole is...

Guys, I hope the www.gnttype.org site just went down for a short time. Does anyone have any info on that? That website is too valuable for us to lose it. - BB:confused:

Well I'm neck deep into rebuilding my motor and I couldn't remember which way the cam button went. So I put the spring end into the camshaft and the "button" end against the front cover, was I right or wrong? - BB:confused:

Well I began assembling my short block today and came upon a strange situation. One of my main bearings, (Speed Pro – It was all I could get on short notice, it’s a long story), has a peculiar pattern. Instead of being grooved 180 degrees like the others it’s only grooved about 100 degrees. The...

Gentlemen, Well I've got my ARP head bolts, I've got the torque sequence and specs, etc. The only thing I don't have is the "official" ARP thread sealer and ARP moly lube. This is a big problem because I'm supposed to start building my motor this weekend, and no one in this town, (Panama City)...

Gentlemen, I have some ARP head bolts to use on my motor, but I don't know which lengths go where. There are 3 different lengths. Any help is much appreciated. - BB

Well, you're not going to believe this but I accidentely threw my cam sensor adjustment tool, (a $30 value), into the dumpster by accident. (Don't ask, it's a long story). Is there a place with instructions for installing your cam sensor properly. I went to the GNTTYPE website but I couldn't...

Friends, Romans and Countrymen: Lend me your ears! Actually your cranks! O.K. anyway I blew both head gaskets, (don't ask me how THAT happened), and pulled the motor for a rebuild. My crank is already a 20/20 crank but isn't damaged, nevertheless I decided to replace it. In my search for a...

Can anyone provide some part numbers for the larger valves for our heads and what the heads need to be cut to? Thanks - BB

Big Boom – Need Help Well, I’m afraid my engine might have blown a head gasket or worse. The trouble is I’m out of town! I’m in the Air Force and I had to drive my GN from Tampa up to Panama City for a 6-week school. So after the 450-mile drive I got settled in at Tyndall AFB and got ready...
