kenhoeve Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Personally, after 100 miles on my rebuild I drove it hard. Real hard. That engine sealed up tight and didn't burn a drop of oil for the next 80,000 miles. Nothing like going 6,000 miles between oil changes and not adding a drop of oil.

pocket penguins Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 nice man i love the wrinkle finishmaybe im just a tard but would an aquamist fix your problems with detonation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 maybe im just a tard but would an aquamist fix your problems with detonationA good tune will fix my detonation. Aquamist is a band aid for poor tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
550 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Aquamist is only a band-aid if you have poor tuning. With proper tuning aquamist can be a very powerful tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

550 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Yeah with prices the way they are, and long commutes there is nothing wrong with octane flipping (in my opinoin) but yeah the low boost is the killer I detonated 100% though, I could hear it heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHEIII874T5M Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Those brackets on the engine, did you make them or buy them? Trying to figure out a good way to pull the engine out of the car/put it back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
