- Topic: I've got a question about 180* headers
- Replies: 10
- Views: 2019
The set of 180 SBC headers I purchased came with slip on collectors, but are not as tight as I would like them. For an EFI car, you really can not have any exhaust leaks before the O2 sensor, so a tight sealing collector is a requirement (more so then on a carb stock car) . I am still kicking around...

I have a buddy that makes his own SBC adapter plates and his design is based around reusing the stock 4cyl flywheel On a conventional SBC pattern, you need to mill new flats for the SBC crankshaft bolts so they will be counter sunk enough to clear the clutch disk hub (they fall in the raised portion...

And can anyone else prove that running a pilot bushing will cause breakage? If you think you can, then can you also prove that your crank centerline and your input shaft centerline were in exact perfect alignment? Atilla, I like the work you are doing and respect your knowledge of engines, but you ...

... but I cant bleed the clutch as I have no help, and I cant seem to gravity bleed without letting it run dry... You just need to make some of these handy tools... just remember to keep the pressure low and use the rubber diaphram to keep from blasting air into the fluid. http://i152.photobucket.c...

Hmm, I never measured my HTOB, I just didn't get that technical into it. I pretty much bolted it together hoping it would work because I didn't really have much of a choice at that point. It had to work, lol. In anycase, I've put plenty of miles on my 00+ setup with zero issues whatsoever. Mine has...

So in your picture you are FULLY compressed? Christian is convinced the flywheel is too tall, but the 1/16 or less that it is too tall is nothing compared to how far the system is actually off by right now. As far as the inputshaft bearing goes... It may be incorrectly seated but it has little to n...

I'm having a hard time getting the timing set perfect because when I put it into diagnostic mode the idle is a lot lower and it doesn't want to stay running. You need to get the baseline timing set right and to do that it must stay running. Crank open the throttle blade (might need to remove the pl...

Beautiful Conversion! Thanks! The 2nd cut to sheet metal happened last year when I cut the hole for the cold air intake (1st cut was to relocate the harness to the shifter cable area in 2005). I had to notch the deck lid for the intake, but if I set it up for DIS I can flip the intake and it will e...
