No need to to tap for oil supply, there should be a plug at the back of the gallery (in the lower right of the photos below). But you will need a way to get the oil back to the pan. In the photos below i have taped the head in the stock return location and installed a sweep fitting from an aircraft ...

Misfire from 2800 to 4200 RPM, ECU Problem?

This is a strange one that has been plaguing me for years. I’m get a misfire at heavy load on one or more cylinders as I come across about 2800 rpm thru 4200 rpm, above that it pulls strong and smooth to redline. It always seems to be there to some extent, sometimes barely there with just a slight p...

I was always under the understanding that the turbo 4EATs had more disks in the clutch packs for 1-2 and 3-4. Not true?

When you raise the compression the thermal efficiency goes down. When you raise the compression so much you have to back off the advance then the volumetric efficiency goes down. When you lessen the combustion chamber size you get less air/fuel mix in there. It's been proven to be best to have as l...

Pre-facelift looks ten years older than it really is. And the chrome bites. The headlights suck. Turbos don't even get different grills.

I have a VF24 that will be going on with my new engine but I'm using an under manifold intake.

I'm hoping to hold around 16-18psi to redline but with the 2.35 stroker and DOHC heads it might be a little small, time will tell. On the upside, the spool should be great.

If you want to make it a little more visible you can move the radio down and put the gauge on top.

Yes the autos have two dipsticks, they use 90wt in the front diff (most other autos use ATF in the whole trans). Pass side is for the front diff (90wt), drivers side is for trans (ATF).

If one fell out the others may be loose too, if it were me I think I would deal with all four. Get the threads clean and dry and put them in with some loc-tite. When those things come out they rob a lot of oil from the crank and rods.
