If they aren't willing to climb over a roll cage, they prolly aren't worth the time. Plus you can practice pace notes on the way to dinner.

that might be scenic in itself. I used to enjoy watching my wife, when we were dating, climb up into my Tacoma.

Hahaha, roger that!

I had a pair of MoMo buckets, and it was always great to inspect the short skirted girls when they'd climb over into the back seat.

Yo Myles
What did you use for adjustable tensioner and idler on that set up?

Hey there a brilliant wank fest going on here:

Why don't you go tell them what a car at normal ride height but GOOD suspension felt like with shocks at the axle....

Looks killer Mubbs!

Take care with those adjustable cam gears, More than once I've seen people run into all sorts of wackyness when the get a little loose.

That's the Yoshifab tensioner kit....

I used his billet steel round tooth crank snout gear, and his timing belt tensioner, with the blue kevlar belt...



Those gawwddamn TurboBitcherzz gotsta figure out their shizz on their own, naahhhh mean.

While I gotst ya....that sooperbitchin flywheel has gotst me goin ohhhhhhhhh weeee....anyhew...i thought the dowel pins had a specific direction they've gotta go in....are they tapered in a specific direction or different diameters at different ends. They didn't come marked, so I gotsta gets dat riggghhhttt

Dayumm, that'd be bad....Gonna loctite them n torque them down....and routinely check that out

They're just a few thou smaller. check it with a Very-near caliper, small end in, ya know just like when you're with Suzy Creamcheese, first you slip the tapered end in then hammer away.

Yeah the poor boys next to us at Mt. Hood had the fancy Japonaise ajustable thing randomly advancing then retarding on its own as the screws kept coming loose...

Well, they're both tapered, at least to my eye.

Never, with Suzy CreamCheese or with any of my other, fine, respectable young ladies, have I ever had an issue of deciding which end to stick in first.

I'm usually a fan of lube, saliva just urns dry too quickly, but in this case, should I use a little loctite?

Oh, and I've still got the pressure plate bolts from my stock Volvo stuff...they're rated at 8.8 hardness....safe to reuse these, or should I go get some gucci new bolts that are, well, harder?

Measure with a very-near, not even I can eye them down to a thou.

Just a nice gentle tap otter do.

And yeah 8.8 works fine

Just, give it a lil tapp, just tap, tap, tap it in?


Emailed Dale about the pilot bearing riddle....so I'll get back to you on that, but as I recall, it's just a 5.0L Mustang pilot bearing and no modification to the input shaft.

Next time...on the LUV truck, I'll go with a Chevy S10 T5, and one of your adaptamajigs, so I can haz da shiftie in the right spot...Can u make da bellhausin for a up'n'dowwwnnnn Redblock?

So a quick stint from my place to Sir RedwoodChair's...it was a nice ride over on the fixie!

Picked up an angle grinder, rat tail file and lunch.

Sent me sailing to the Golden Gate Bridge, and pedaled my way home from there.



Just a couple minutes with the rat tail file, in two of the three dowel pin holes, and pressure plate slides on, with a fist's persuasion.





Maybe five minutes under the car, with the angle grinder and a drop light. My engine bay is now lighter and the flywheel is clear for spinning. It took five minutes, cause I'm slow with this stuff. No biggie, and no sweat....it's a lot easier than flycutting a piston.

Ground the block so it's flush with that aluminum lower bell housing mount thing.



Flywheel goes right on!

Take a close look there....the flat portion of the tone ring, is basiclly dead center in the starter hole. A stock tone ring flywheel or flexplate has a alignment pin, to align with the sensor, at TDC....this SooperBitchin piece doesn't...but, if I recall, the flat portion is supposed to be at the starter.

I'll have to check my manual when I get home, but I'm pretty sure the part with missing teeth goes to the top @ #1TDCC.
On stock flexplates (for sure) and possibly flywheels, there is an arrow that points to the side (right side?) perfectly horizontal when #1 is at TDCC. When set up this way the missing teeth should be at the top. The purpose of the missing teeth is to tell the ECU when to start the cycle all over again. It would be really strange (though not unheard of) to put the missing teeth at some offset.
I would definitely check before you bolt your trans on..
I'll let you know what I find out because now you have me worried about the flywheel I just put on!

I was linked this, so I think I've done it right, but it's not torqued yet, so there's time to be sure.

The stock oVlov ones apparently have the blank spot by the starter and there's another marking for TDC, not on the tone ring itself.

And whatever the bizarre asss cvase may be, the clocking of and relatuionship between the flywheel bolts and the -2 was done off the sample flex plate I had.

Now personally I would like a easily accessible and adjustable TDC SENSOR.
This dealio on the flywheel seems kinda sketchy.

Myles, can you post piccies of the top of the block where the TDC sensor sits or is attached?
How much adjustability is there?
