So right after we got the motor 90% assembled (excluding the turbo), the dipstick tube got pushed on a little and shattered. Aside from getting the crap out of the engine, does anyone know where to get a replacement for it? It's a 2.2 (originally) turbo 1 motor.

Heeeey! So ever since I rebuilt my engine I've had a small suspision that my oil pressure is a bit too low. 70 cold, but a tar below 20 when hot, and maybe only 40 at highway. Today when doing a garage cleanup I found a small bag with parts my machine shop gave me that had a bunch of old freeze...

So from all the info I'm gathering, I see that the oil restrictor that presses into the block to restrict the amount of oil fed to the head was used from '86+. My question is, if you're running a slider cam, would it actually be better not to use the restrictor? The only negative I can see is...

Got all my gauges installed. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. The gauges are: -Wideband -Mechanical Boost -Mechanical Oil Pressure -Mechanical Water Temp. -Voltage You can see on the first picture on the lower dash, above the drivers right knee, there is a potentiometer, so I can...

I am burning oil after warmed up when I pull away from a stop light after sitting for a few seconds. Also when I "romp" the throotle in the driveway a few times. No issues when cold or driving around; maybe a puff once a while when shifting gears so I'm told. It has new engine and new turbo...

So I bought the FWD performance turbo oil return tube that is the "hybrid" one or something like that on my t2 converted 87 shadow, I cannot get the rubber tube to slid onto the pipe coming out of the back of the block by any means, tried all my power trying to slide it on, tried heat...

Ok so I know this subject in general has been beaten to death :deadhorse: but what kind of oichoosingOk I be avoiding? I am talking about non synthetics specifically (cause I am to cheap to put synthetic in it right now) and I don't need a lecture on why Im stupid! But I am thinking not do much...

A friend of mine repladed his oil cap with a filter. Prose and cons?

took my head off because engine was overheating and oil and coolant were mixing, most likely a blown gasket. Had the head pressure tested and resurfaced. The machine shop said that it wasnt cracked and that when they resurfaced it they took "less then 5 off". Dont really know what that...

ok. so i think this may be a blown head gasket..but id like to get a second oppion first. i dont know if it would make a difference but i added a half of quart to the 4.5 of castrol sythetic edge about a week ago.. 2 days ago it started up and it was knocking a little bit..so i shut it off and...
