My buddy here on Long Island has a skyline that he imported.

FOUND ONE - THREAD CAN BE LOCKED

ZZP is out of stock. Anyone have one to sell?

Still looking .... Anyone ?

Yeah, just trying to see if I can save $40 or so getting a used one before I buy one from ZZP.

Funny thing is, it is $139 on ZZP site and $159 from ZZP on eBay.

Anyone out there have one of these they'd like to unload??? http://zzperformance.com/38...nless-power-log.html Doesn't matter if it's used .. Trying to find one for less than ZZP wants... This is the side of the 3800 that the A/C compressor is on. It's the firewall side on a Fiero swap. NOT the one ...

Found this thread but im still confused on which way the gasket is supposed to go.

Any help or Pics of the rear cover Plate is appreciated!!

Looking at this rear cover gasket i just dont see how it could be put on backwards. everything is symmetrical hole wize, except for what looks like the balance shaft oil hole. http://zzperformance.com/38...ar-cover-gasket.html If my rear cover gasket isnt instslled backeards, what else could be star...

I will be pulling the motor back out and replacing the rear Main seal cover Plate gasket. At this point I hope it IS installed backwards so that I know what went wrong that is starving the right side lifters of oil. Does anyone have experince/knowledge of the rear main cover Plate gasket being insta...

I did the 2quart 40weigjht oil, 2 quart ATF (pennzoil brand) and 1 quart acetone motor flush today and drove the car about 7 miles with it in the engine. Sad to say the tapping noise did not go away . I then did an oil change and the atf /oil/acetone mix came out red and clear. I put in 10w40, mobil...

I will be running and driving the car with 2Q 30-50 W oil ., 2 Q ATF, and 1Q acetone. I will run it under load for a few miles (~30miles) and then doing an oil change . I am hopin the rattlin will silence on my drive and stay silenced after the oil change.
Keep those fingers crossed guys !!!!!

I am being told that if input the rear main seal cover plate gasket on backwards , it could cause unilateral oiling and starve oil to one side of the lifter valley. It still doesn't explain how the noise silenced with rislone and returned in the next drive with the rislone. Before I yank the motor o...

I removed both valve covers and ran the engine to find that my loud tapping valve train noise is due to this: Trunk side rocker bank getting oil nicely, even squirting when revved a bit, lifters feel hard like they are full of oil.(when pushing down on the pushrods) Firewall side rocker bank complet...

I ended up purchasing one from eBay.

Anyone have a 3.5 press on or a 3.5" modular pully for 3800sc series 2 for sale?

Thanks i did buy a set. On to the next problem. My tapping rockers/pushrods

I am thinking of buying the modular pulley from zzp . Is there anyway to remove the stock pulley wothout buying the $110 pulley puller? Does anyone have one they could lend or rent me? I may buy a press on 3.5" pulley but the modular system is like $100. I guess either way I would need the pull...

Very strange. I took the car for a ride and the rattling stopped. I guess the rislone worked. But then I took it for another ride after washing it and the rattle came back just like before. The rislone is still in it so maybe I should just keepmdriving t aNd see if it goes away again and then see if...

I removed the belts today and the rattling/tapping is still there. :no: Its either something internal or an exhaust leak (which im hoping for). Any way to check for an exhaust leak when the manifold isnt really visible? Maybe spray marine fogging oil in the intake amd look for smoke down by the fire...
