    Spring maintenance....

    I will get the TA_1522B Timing Chain from TA Performance and the water pump and all the remaining gaskets and front and rear seals from Kirbans. I might go ahead and get a new belt tensioner too. I will send my orders out closer to spring incase I add something to the list.

    Spring maintenance....

    Thanks for the responses. As far as the timing chain I am considering the TA_V15522B Silent. Any pros/cons using this kit with my setup? I forgot to mention as far as oil pressure goes mine is fine assuming my gauge is accurate. I can video mine at startup, cruising and WOT and compare them to...

    Spring maintenance....

    In a few months I am going to have my timing chain replaced. Since the front cover will be off I plan on having the water pump, cam button, and front main seal replaced as well. Am I missing anything else that might need attention while the front cover is off? It makes sense to me to do all the...

    Cam Position Sensor...

    Thanks for the responses guys. I just noticed that there was a ticking sound that wasn't there the last time I started it a few days ago. When I put my fingers on the cap I feel a slight vibration almost in harmony with the ticking and it is definitely coming from that area. I started up Dad's...

    Cam Position Sensor...

    Thanks. I wasn't really sure how many options I would have when I decided to order one. I didn't want to buy an inferior sensor and realize later I screwed up.

    Quick Seafoam Question

    Be ready for half the responses to be positive on using it and half to be negative. Personally I have used it once or twice in the past on beater vehicles with no negative results.....maybe a slight increase in gas mileage but modulating your right foot would probably give the same slight...

    Air conditioning recharge - Red Tek 12a

    I bought a similar kit off Amazon.com three years ago this July. My GN was blowing warm air and my AC had never been recharged or repaired since new in 1987. Drove it today and the air is still cool as it was when I recharged it with the kit. I got off lucky because I was figuring the AC would...

    Pypes SGG50R install

    Great system....had mine installed roughly 2 years ago....had to tweak it some to make the driver side pipe even with the passenger side but besides that the fit and finish is excellent.
