    Is it time to change oil viscosity?

    Methanol draws in water and it gets really corrosive, and most pure-methanol builds run REALLY rich, so a lot of it ends up in the oil. It takes a special additive package to manage that.

    Is it time to change oil viscosity?

    At the risk of devolving the thread into another oil holy war, there is no "best" oil. Which is best depends on your application and how you're using it. But there are a lot of "good enough" oils, and almost everything in a 5w30 or 10w30 you can buy at a mainline store is good enough for a...

    PCV Elimination Plug

    Even though "everybody does it," there's a better way! Get a breather with a hose outlet and run them to the intake piping between the MAF (If you're still running one) and the turbo inlet. The intake will draw a vacuum on the whole crankcase even when you're wailing on it and burn off those...

    9:1 compression and pump gas octane

    Running these in any capacity beyond base OE tune and configuration with 91 octane is a gamble.

    Proper plug gap?

    That's just what the dude at the factory gapped them to... or didn't gap them at all and just shoved them in. This. The gap needs to be wide enough to light the mixture, but not so wide the coil has trouble triggering the spark.

    PCV Elimination Plug

    it's in a really bad spot. I just had an oil report come back with really high copper. Tore the engine down and the mains were trashed from trash. When I pulled in the intake, there was a splotch of grit on the valley pan right below the PCV valve. The grommet had gotten hard and wasn't...

    87 GN AC Where to begin

    You didn't mention which compressor you're running. If you're still on the OE compressor, it's likely leaking out of the compressor itself. They will leak out the case perimeter. I haven't taken one apart, but I'm guessing from looking at them there's a giant O-ring that once it gets old, that's...

    steering wheel options for GN

    I had a junkyard wheel refinished in alcantara by Dallas Custom Steering Wheel: Dallas Custom Steering Wheel They matched the OE color. It was not cheap. But hand sewn leatherwork never is.

    Best sounding exhaust

    I'm not sure that's a valid comparison. Have you met a goat? The logistics of strangling one are immense, I don't think anybody's actually strangled one, so they have no idea what it would sound like. Entirely speculative.

    Best sounding exhaust

    There's no "good" sounding exhaust. The firing order is crap and it's a low compression V6. Nothing you can do makes this thing sound any better than a really angry Camry. Our exhaust note is not our strength. Select exhaust on power, not sound. If you want sound, swap it for a Nissan VQ.

    "Fueling Issue"

    It's the newer nozzles on the pumps at the stations. You just have to be patient and deal with it.

    picked up a rough 87 Grand National - how to approach project?

    Yup. You haven't provided enough info on what YOU want out of it. Sure, the rust needs to be fixed no matter what you're going to do, but beyond that, what do you want? You bought a basket case, that much is clear. The only way you get anywhere is set a goal. If you set a goal, we can help...

    4L60E Information Request

    The 4L60 is a renamed 700-R4. If he can get a bellhousing that lines up, and wire up the convertor lockup, it'll work. The 4L60E is the one with the computer controlled valve body.

    Any financial gurus? (Doubt it if you have an 80's buick lol)

    It's all about knowing the numbers, doing the math, and the the correct path becomes obvious.
