I checked out the site, the Halo people have a lot of good info there, more people should check it out.

Now I have my oil question answered what about spark plugs, I get a free tune-up because I was away from home, so what should I buy? platinum, v groove or just regular?

After a 7 month absence from Canada I am coming back to my poor car next week :D . Hopefully it was started and driven every two weeks as promised :? . Anyway I am switching to synthetic oil from regular, my question is is there any special requirements when doing this or is it just a straight oil c...

Well after carefuinspection I determined that the alternator was bad, no juice to the battery at idle, a new alternator was purchased and installed and the light is now out.

It was the single wire sensor, thanks for the input, problem solved

Well when it rains it pours, got my temperature guage working, it is the single lead sensor that runs the temp guage on a K-8 engine, now the alternator light is on. The connections are all good and when the positive on the battery is removed it dies, belt is tight and alternator spinning. Is there ...

It would make sense, that is the only one I have not changed yet, but I have one, hope its true, waiting for more input.

I changed my engine from a 92 to a 95 K8, the 95 does not have the second temperature sensor, so I drilled, tapped and installed one, now my fan works but the temp guage does not. I changed both the black and green sensor (both used) with no luck, as well as the guage. There are three items in the s...

Thanks for the input, I think ripping the entire engine apart again just for the pre-drilled hole is to much work, I was thinking I would go to the engine re-builders in Trenton and get them to tap a new hole, they do it all the time, so it should not be a problem. If they screw it up, then the big ...

Is it not risky or does splicing not work? why does the 95 engine have only one.

Is that not a bit risky? how difficult would that be if a machine shop did it, also would splicing work??

I switched a 92 K-8 for a 95 K8 this weekend, when I was hooking all the sensors back up, there was one missing, on the 95 K-8 there was only one probe in the top of the engine, while the 92 had 2. The wires are the same colour for both on the 92, however the plugs are not interchangeable, now my te...

True but I am not that hard core about speed, I am happy with the stock engine

After careful consideration I think I will purchase a used 1.8 vice a 2.5, I can get one from a 95 with 138000 km shipped for 550 CDN, with a 90 day garentee. My present engine after looking at the plugs is definately burning oil. I have never swapped an engine with this many connections, my last sw...

I am not sure mabout the oil catch, can you explain a bit more please.
