Re: Major knock, please help!! i can only tell you from my experience. knock is the enemy, it's usually caused by a leaning out and the combustion chamber temps are too high. i idle @ 650F @ normal coast the temp goes to 850, under full boost for 1/4 mile, i can reach 1200F. i bought what i...

Re: FYI for smokey start ups i used compressed air to hold my valves, just find TDC for that cylinder and use your shop air to hold the valves, i've heard of the rope trick but be careful of any left over debris from the rope. i'd use a nylon rope but make sure you use a flame to slightly melt...

thanks to all the guys and gals of this forum. i replaced all the valve stem seals on my 93 typhoon with 63,000 miles. the exhaust only had o-rings but the intake had the umbrella seals and o-rings. they were so brittle that some broke when i removed them. no i don't get any smoke on start...

Re: Blue smoke on startup common for sy/ty's? thats what i was going to do. compressed air to keep the valve up and change the seals. does the exhaust side have seals from the factory?

Re: TPS% at WOT the tps should be adjustable, has anyone seen the plug and play option for the tps. it plugs between the plug and the sensor. it will allow full tps volts (4.5 volts ) @ 60% throttle, this will give you more gas and the car should be a rocket, remember lean is mean but rich is...

Re: Blue smoke on startup common for sy/ty's? glad to hear that i'm not the only guy having this problem. i have a 93 ty with 63000 miles. i went to a heavier oil 10w 40 and still puffs but not as bad. has anyone tried to replace the valve stem seals without taking the heads off(snap on sells...
