If you want to see how my instal went just go to dtw and look under magnum in the forums section then look for the title HS 1.7 RR, "NeedYourAdvice, "Please"



johnny.

dosnt look to bad.. did you do one side at a time the torque to spec? or did you do them in the firing order and rotate engine to just past tdc? now the only thing i gotta do is figure out how to break loose exhaust manifold bolts that have never been undone in 260,000 with out snapping them off.

i think the hughes airgapper the rollers and a cai wich i have but mite get a kn and a set of headers with a sct tune may be the way to go till i can get my supercharger.

im doing a complete rebuild in March/April. Im beefing the tranny up. and redoing the motor. complete exhaust system. intake manifold, cylinder heads, pistons/rings, camshaft...all the above. i needed to do this now because my plenum was badly leaking.

but wait until i get it done. ill post pics of everything, because im challenging it all myself. (except the machining that has to get done)
