  1. Bill, my wife will be gone until 5 and I have a game in Delaware at 6:30. I don't think there is ANY way we can make it out, even for a little bit. I'll do my best to make it up to you.
  2. Hal, in all the pictures I have here on the computer, and the pictures in my 4.6 book, none of the timing chains look loose like they do in your car. I think you may have jumped time (especially after looking at the marks on you chain/gear). I would take the timing sprocket off of the crank and rotate the engine until the number one piston is TDC. There are 2 copper links on each timing chain (even the smaller secondary chains). They should all line up to timing marks on the gears. Also, the camshaft keyways should all be facing straight down. If the cam keyways face down on the drivers side, but the passenger side looks offset, you found your problem. If you want me to come over and help, let me know.
  3. This is the right track, but I would keep the Integra (unmodified) as a daily. personally, I wouldn't buy an F-body either. The moral of the story is, mod something else.
  4. QA1 K-Members are made in China. I don't think your letter is going anywhere. Edit: http://www.dariusrudis.com/mustang/griggs/
  5. If you are dig racing and dragging you should focus on chassis/suspension/tires with engine mods being secondary.
  6. Until your house is paid off, it isn't yours. It is owned by the bank. At any point, if you neglect to pay taxes, the house can be taken from you. If you are in a condo/homeowners association and neglect to pay dues, then your house can be taken from you. The worth of your house is arbitrary, and I do not agree with you when you say at any time you can sell the house and pay off the loan. If that were the case, then foreclosures would not exist. Until the point your house puts money into your pocket, it is a liability. My house has made me no money so far, therefore I consider it a liability. I, too, hate it when people say things and don't know what they are talking about.
  7. I understand your logic. Mine came from a book I read: This one.
  8. Houses are not assets, they are liabilities (unless it is rental property).
  9. You should go to school. There are some places that offer a 49 week course. You have to buy your own tools, but the job is worth it in the end. PM me if you want to talk to someone who has their license.
  10. I used to live in Rockford. I went to school up there for a little bit. Welcome.
  11. I find this to be accurate.
  12. It will turn the alternator more slowly, which can affect the voltage output of the alternator. This in turn can affect the speed of the fuel pump, etc. and wreak havoc.

  14. If you want to keep the car, take your $3K and buy a beater. With something to drive every day you could slowly spend money on the car and if it's down it won't kill you. If you are sick of it, sell it and buy something reliable until you make more money. It really depends on where you want to go, but IMO you should not mod a car that gets you to work every day.
  15. http://www.perryjoshua.com/Exchange/IMGP4025.jpg I accept paypal.
  16. For the people who can read, you have given us no indication of your age, budget, or if this is your daily. All of those things have a lot to do with how I would answer your question. If it were me, I wouldn't even pay 10K for a DSM of any iteration, but it's because I don't like them. Therefore, I could not stand to sink another 10K into one I already paid for.
  17. Clark saw the word "shaft" in the OP and got excited...

  20. I'm surprised you could take your head off of Dr. Ricks nuts long enough to post. Welcome back. Edit: Also, bleeding heart liberals don't typically call people flaming homosexuals...Just FYI...
