Re: Scat Cast Cranks I don't see why not. I have an IBS crank in my non-IBS block. Granted, I still took it to get spin balanced, so not sure if they had to mod it much to balance out. As far as journals and dimensions, though. Dead match. Teeleton

Re: SY/TY Kill stickers LOL.. this thread reminds me of when we used to have a car club event at the local dragstrip, and the various clubs would race each other for points over a season. The Lightning club would be almost half of the field, so I started putting lightning bolts on the back...

Re: Is idle vaccuum lower with cam ? Mine idles at about 60-65 Kpa, but it has a cam with lots of overlap. Stock is generally about 35Kpa, and most performance cams will idle in the 40-55 range depending on how agressive they are. Generally you can get the idle vacuum up by moving the advance...

Re: small dilema with engine knock(kinda long sorry) I smell a motor yank weekend coming up. :D Call the machine shop and see how long it would take to get the crank back. When they did my crank, they provided rod and main bearings matched to the crank's new specs. I wouldn't think you...

Re: Bad noises ... with video I would also say that it sounds like the flexplate could be loose. Not so loose that you can move it by hand, but take a large flathead screwdriver and put it in the converter next to the bolt. Use it like a prybar and see if you can move the converter either...

Re: s-series nationals Always nice to see the SyTy guys out and hanging with us "common" folk. :D I'll be there camping Thurs-Sun. Teeleton

Re: why does water/alky work ? Well, yeah. The condenser is where the heat is slowly dissapated to the atmosphere, but the cooling effect occurs in the evaporator, as evidenced by the condensation on the outside of it. That's where the freon goes from under pressure from the compressor, to...

Re: why does water/alky work ? Well, you're almost right. The air intake charge is somewhere in the 140*-180* degree range, and the water/alky that you're injecting is in the 60*-90* range depending on where you are, so the intake charge cools off, and the water/alky heats up and the net...

Re: Well, Tonite was my first trip to the tack in the Ty. Yep, that was a blast. I think I'm going to have to give it the bottle if I want to ever catch you again. ;) Teeleton

Re: In a big need of help 4th Sat. of every month at 6pm(ish). This month's will be on the 27th. Teeleton

Re: In a big need of help Hey Victor. You have a pretty fervent group of S-series heads right in your back yard (HASTE) We have a couple syty guys that hang out with us as well. HotRodV6, BillZ, and Jack (forget his forum name) are all local. We have a monthly get together at Prince's on 59...

Re: Keep your receipts!! (my new Optima Battery story) Heh.. Guess I have a pre-buyout yellow top. I actually got it used from a ricer buddy who was de-ricing his car to sell it. I figured, what the hell... it's free. That about about 3-4 years ago, and it still starts my truck easy when I...

Re: TX S-series Meet in Austin See you guys this weekend. Teeleton

Re: Shocked BMW Owner zero to sixty before you. Teeleton

Re: Well, Tonite was my first trip to the tack in the Ty. Have you done a compression check on the engine? You might be getting a bunch of blow-by in one of the cylinders, and the pressure in the crankcase is causing the other bores to lose their seal. Teeleton
