Re: Is my Timing chain too loose ? Ok so i think I have a bigger issue than I thought... This block has been line honed twice and that is the issue (I think)... I installed a Cloyes c-3092 which is in the video below and it is still loose. Is there a shorter chain I can purchase/ or can...

Re: Is my Timing chain too loose ? Thank you for responding... Ill exchange it ir-regardless (A Tom Cruise word haha). I just needed a second opinion... Once again Thank you !!! ~ Wayne

Re: Is my Timing chain too loose ? After further research I see that the parts Jockey (and the website) sold me one w/balance shaft... I guess that makes the chain longer ? Here is what I found on the site: 1993 GMC Typhoon 73125 Includes Cam Spkt, Chain, Crank Spkt; 3 Pc.; LB4 Eng...

Please take a look at the attached video. I am rebuilding the engine for the second time I cant see needing a new timing chain after only 8000 miles, but it sure does look like it needs to be replaced... Is this normal or is it too loose ? http://youtu.be/PCtApgTKoFw PCtApgTKoFw Thanx in...

Re: scat 5.7 connecting rods Thank you Gentlemen for responding, but they wont work...

Can they be used on a typhoon ? I have a friend selling a set of brand new "SCAT57" (thats whats written on the side). He also said they were balanced. Or should I not use them at all ? Thanx in advance ! ~Wayne

Re: Sport orange head paint Isn't the color a Gmc\Chevy upgrade color ?

Im thinking of repainting my heads with Chevrolet Orange de1620, has anyone done this and maybe have pix ? My heads have been modded with bigger valves, port and polish, so the guy I got them from gave them to me orange, I guess to represent that. I repainted them aluminum grey... Opinions...

Re: WTH GM ? 1/2 my connecting rods are reversed Thank you sir... I was calling around and spoke to Corey @ Hendersonperformance.com (Cool dude) and he told me the bumps on the odd number rods face front and the evens face back he even took the time to send me a pic... I love Gearheads ...

I removed my pistons and connecting rods, and see that 3 of the connecting rods are correct, and 3 are backasswards. Shouldn't all the bumps and indentations face the front of the engine ? I have never separated them, so I guess this was done at the factory ? wth ? Here is the piston indention...

Re: Cutting Bump Stops Ok, Ill take a different approach to this, Ill give the stats... I have a 1993 Typhoon with Belltech 5954 rear springs, I want to lower the front to make it level or a little lower than the rear. Has anyone done this ? What did you do regarding the bump stops ? Are we...

Re: Cutting Bump Stops Thank you for your response sir...The plan is to drop it without the stops to where I want it then cut the stops accordingly, we'll see. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who has done this with a dropped truck ? I read somewhere on the net "wheel well gap is like...

I was riding on my bump stops after I dropped the ty (I didnt realize it) now they are shredded. I got the universal replacement urethane ones, however they are too tall. I chopped off 2 layers to compensate, do you think I cut too much off ? I dont want to mess up my cladding... Anyone ever do...

Re: Intercooler Tape Thank you sir... I want to use "3m super strength molding tape", Im just a little unsure it can hold up to the heat of the intercooler ? Peace and Thanx Wayne
