    quick water pump o ring question

    Tom, I think number 2 is the correct way. I can't really tell 100% for sure from your description, so I'll try mine again. The crossover tube has two bulges on the end of it - kinda like hills, with a valley between them. The o-ring goes in the valley. You need to lube it, otherwise when...

    quick water pump o ring question

    Is it leaking? It should be. :) The tube you're refering to is called the crossover tube - it runs across the valley of the block and the other end connects to the contraption that the thermostat mounts to. The larger o-ring gets installed between the two bulges in the crossover tube...

    Just Installed Summit Turbo's, Mufflers Hang Way Too Low

    When I installed my catback with Edelbrocks they didn't hang level on each side, so I used a large hose clamp wrapped around the outside of the rubber hanger on the side that was hanging low and tightened it until the two sides were level. You could try that with two clamps, one on each side...

    Crank?

    You need to get it out of there. Remove the timing belt and pull the timing belt gear - the screw is behind the plate that's connected it. You may not have to remove it all the way to get the screw out - you may just be able to pull it out an inch or so and be able to reach it. I would...

    Oil pressure worse than previously thought!

    8-9 PSI isn't abnormally low for a SHO engine. Mine runs that low hot and there's nothing wrong with it. Have you checked your rod bearings? That could cause the ticking, but the low oil pressure doesn't mean you have to trash the car. The SHO oil system is a low pressure, high volume system...

    Sport Edition Fox 2 weight

    I don't recall exactly, but the whole Sport Edition line seemed to be excessively heavy. Call Tire Rack and ask them....they have all of that information at their disposal. Kurt www.kurtmetros.com

    Alt. location for temp sending unit

    You need to install a T in place of the original sensor. Then, on one end of the top part of the T insert the stock sensor and on the other end put the autometer sensor. I've got some instructions on my website on this at http://www.kurtmetros.com/guagepod.html. It's mostly about the wiring...

    Clutch Time 3

    Scott, My fingers were trashed too - plenty of life left on my clutch also. Conversely, I couldn't get my original quill off, so I left it. Luckily, I didn't tear it up much at all trying to remove it. Regarding the pressure plate, yes, it should be lock-tite'd. I used blue loc-tite on the...

    need help with a thumping noise from my baer brakes

    I'm not sure those are so much cooling fins as they are structural reinforcements? I may be wrong, but I think they are there for integrity. When you install these brakes, you need to keep the brackets on the correct side, but swap the sides that the calipers go on. This will allow you to...

    take a look at this woodruff key...

    This happened to me too. It's not hard to remove, you just need to do a couple of things at the same time. First, put everthing back to where it's supposed to be....push the timing belt gear all the way back to the block and using a screwdriver, gently tap the woodruff key back into place...

    TCE Knuckle braces *Shipping/Install Notes*

    Todd, I just saw this this morning. Did you get my e-mail letting you know the thread pattern for my bolts? They are 1/2"-13 thread (mcmaster-carr # 91257A722) Hope it's not too late. Kurt

    still trying to replace my plugs...

    Shaun, You don't need to pull the intake. Remove the wires backwards, so to speak. That is, disconnect them from the coil pack (slip the locking clips off the end too) and then disconnect the wire from the plug. Instead of pulling the wire out from the front, pull it out from the rear. The...

    Baer Brake Prices?

    I just picked up a set of PBR two piston calipers from www.discbrakesrus.com. Pretty much the same setup, near as I can tell. I got the loaded calipers and brackets from them for like $250, found slotted and drilled rotors on e-bay and had them drilled out for $25 at a local machine shop. I...

    A/C Clutch shot! One word HELP!

    Eric, I'd check your clutch gap first. It should be between 0.021-0.036 inch. See the image below: http://kurtmetros.com/junk/compressorclutch.jpg You measure the gap with a feeler guage between the clutch hub and the clutch pulley. If it's out of spec, it could be that you're clutch hub...
