After tanking the motor on Saturday and picking up a complete L67 motor for $250 off of craigslist, it's done. Tuesday we go get the motor. Wednesday I change the oil pan/gasket and do other minor clean up on the block Thursday I pull my motor in like record time (2 1/2 hours lol) Friday swap parts over to my motor (rockers, LIM, misc. brackets. I also decide to drop it in the car. Today I hooked all the rest of the crap up. Started right up the first try. Filled it up with coolant and drove it around the block. now to pull the old motor apart and see what happened.

You're 20. Back in the "day", we had tapes. I don't think CD's were even invented yet. btw, my first I actually bought was "Bon Jovi. Slippery When Wet".

you're old lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt0LBlH3dAc

Scott if you ever wanted my input on tuning I'm not the greatest or best, but I can make small adjustments without blowing shit up. Same with Gary. I can program pretty much any 3.8 w-body or RWD car out there. My tuner is wide open. Gary. yeah, I can tell if you're pulling timing. The big thing would be if you're getting KR. Say you're getting 2-3 degrees of KR and your PCM is set to 25 degrees. Now you're only getting 22-23 degrees because of the KR. Several things can cause this. Heat, the tuning. Is it a stock PCM? Have you dyno'd your car with a/f? I can check your Injector pulse widths. I doubt your maxing them out yet. L36 injectors are good to about 250 WHP. I dyno'd at 233 with my L36 NA and my IPW's were 24 lol. (static is what.. 21? ). car never ran out of fuel though and ran fine. Let me get my car up and running tomorrow and we'll see what I can do next weekend.

\ Looks like Mike would.. lol. :gay2:

I wasn't aware that your VW was able to go on water?

You're one of the lucky ones. He had it pasted right into the thread. No link. I didn't have a choice when I clicked this thread.

Normally NA motors don't give two shits about gas, but what gas are you running? Anything different? Different company/octane? I ran 87 i my Lumina when I was NA and beat the shit out of it and never had any knock.

It's work safe http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/fail-owned-layout-fail.jpg

Would I go to jail if I were to say there needs to be an all female nude olympics ?

Internet ADD.

Maybe one weekend you could swing by and I could scan it to see what's going on.

Cool. I guess I'll find out Sunday when I put it in the car.

what kind of tune do you have on it? I have a power tuner.. I'm not sure if I can put a tune on it. Possibly more timing and whatever. I ran up to 37 degrees of timing when I had my NA lumina .

do you think it would be a good idea to throw some brake cleaner in the cylinder to clean it out and crank the car by hand to clean it out or just let it smoke out?

put it on Craigslist .

I dont' think it could be a leaky valve. I mean. the intake valve was sealed shut since there was a nice puddle of oil in that valve. as soon as I cranked the motor over a few times the oil seeped down into teh exhaust and then the piston pushed it out of the cylinder.

That would be great if he got traded to another team and wouldn't let him have 85.

Other than having the motor tipped on it's side, what would cause oil to be in the intake valve? i picked up this motor and noticed that there was a good amount in the head in valve area. I cranked it over by hand so it bled down into the cylnder and then it was flowing out of the spark plug hole. I think it was dumped on it's side since the s/c pulley is slightly bent. Also, this motor hasn't run in 18 months. Any other ideas?

Jerk off buddy?

bored at work today . I'd rather be home in my garage pulling my motor.

Harry and the Hendersons FTW.

With some Mountain Dew? Play some "corn hole"? or are you going to toss some salad?

Spun a bearing. Everything else is fine on it. I can get more money parting it out (top swaps are good for about $500) so I'm going to yank the heads, lim, etc and sell that. I'll have a shortblock after that if you wanted it.

You going over to play nintendo?
