Hi,
I am Nick Parkhurst from Woodstock, IL and just signed up here so I can get some help with my '87 GN. I purchased it last year from Ray Kemmerling but I haven't had time to work on it much until now. When I bought it the engine would turn so far each way and stop, I didn't want to force it. The turbo and intercooler were removed because Ray was in the middle of upgrading the turbo when he decided to park it for 11yrs. I removed the intake, soaked the lifters with oil, squirted oil in each cylinder, turned it so far each way, soaked everything in oil again and let it sit for a few days repeating this whole process every few days. After a couple weeks the engine rotated 360' nice and smooth! I will be dropping the fuel tank next to see what's happening in there and clean the entire fuel system. This car only has 49k miles on it and I have always wanted a GN so this is going to be fun!
