12V+Screwdriver=Horsepower?

 

so Ill have to remove the head from the engine. that old of a p[ower plant, I would hate to remove it and cause new issues..

 

O! you funny girl!!!

 

She got you. She must have seen you drive.

 

hate to say it but yea, off with the head, thats the only way your gunna get the spring keepers out without the valves finding their way into the cylinder. this would also be a good time to slap on a new HG

 

Actually you can replace them without pulling the head. What you do is rotate the engine so that the cylinder your workin on is a tdc. This will keep the valve from falling out of the head. They make a special spring compressor to remove the spring without pullin the head. I believe napa or autzone sells them.

 

I know, before anything else, maybe you should fix that loose nut behind the wheel

 

is that you followin me around town??

 

heres what I have learned so far:

to upgrade exhaust from 3" to 4" stright pipe,I have to change turbos. mine lacks the bolt on plate. the exhaust just uses a band to attach to the turbo housing.

my turbo has NO waste gate.

an intake elbow would help greatly!!

add a second battery

exhaust brake requires torque convertor control unit.

 

you can still go to a 4". . .I believe there is a manufacturer that makes the pipe that necks down to 3.5" for the turbo.
