Rebuilt my engine, now it won't idle

Hey guys, I rebuilt my motor... it's got great power now! Not that I've abused it... I am completely failiar with rebuild break in procedures. You can just tell it's got all of it's old power back.

Re: Crank Pulley Bolt - RH or LH threads?

I don't have a breaker bar... I'm using my air impact wrench. So far, the engine hasn't tried to move with the impact. Suggestions on holding the engine in place if I go get a breaker bar...?

Crank Pulley Bolt - RH or LH threads?

I'm trying to take my crank pulley off to get the timing covers off, but the dam thing won't come off, even with my weenie impact wrench. Is the bolt reverse threaded?

Re: I blew my engine - I need advice

What is a fair price to pay for a KL-DE 2.5L out of a junkyard? How about from an individual? Does anyone have one that they need to get rid of? I'm hard up for one... if anyone can help out, please let me know. Thanks!

I blew my engine - I need advice

My wife was driving the car today, when it started making a god-awful noise - she ran it out of oil. I went to check out the car, filled it with oil, started it up, and heard what sounded like a severe rod knock. It is definitely rotating-assembly related, as it increases in both speed and volume wh...

Re: MXXM SUCKS!

You have to start an investigation. There are only a limited number of reasons to start an investigation that Paypal considers valid, such as 'didn't receive goods', or 'goods not as described'. If you go to their help section (upper right hand corner of their website), you'll see how to start an in...
