Looks great

Did you get the car to start?

bstc00 · Post by **bstc00** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 3:11 pm

Yes it starts after I give it gas, only when I give it gas other then that it shuts off. It runs good till I it WOT then it struggles, anyone have this problem when putting a comp 400 in? One more thing. I just found out that it is leaking coolant

I think its the gasket that I just replaced

So this weekend I will be redoing it one more time.

I got them from http://www.machiii.net/wheels/Rota_Slipstream.html. they ran me 125 a pice and shipping was free

how hard is the head to take off?

It’s not all that hard you just have to take a lot of other things off. when doing it you will need a pully puller and someone to push in the bracks for you so you can get the pully of. It was just over 4 hours to get the head off and put the cam in. Then another 4 hours to put it all back together.

I got the car to stop leaking coolant. Come to find out it wasn’t the gasket at all. On right side of the head there are the two heat tubes that I did not put the clamps back on

. Thank goodness that’s all it was. Now that I have that figured out the batter is dead on me now. WTF

The car is running with no problems now and because my dad broke the UDP I have a new one on the way. I cant really tell a difference in power but that could be cause I don’t have the UDP on. Will let you know after I get the new one.

Got my UDP in today. I should have it on the car by Wednesday.

pis of the broken UDP.

I had to work so my dad tried to take it off with the 3 claw pulley puller instead of using the one with the screws.

Ummm...yeah. I'm guessing it's too late to tell him not to do that

bstc00 · Post by **bstc00** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 3:58 pm

Yes...but he did pay for my new one

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Thu Nov 20, 2008 4:25 pm

Then it's all good

Did you ever resolve the problems you were having with the cam?

bstc00 · Post by **bstc00** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 2:49 pm

Yes...I think so the cam is running fine now but when I do a cold start, its still have really rough. Some times it will just start right up then other times I have to start her several times before she runs.

WOO-HOO Just go my new control arms in yesterday.

the old ones where bent where the ball joint is. Will get picks of them up later to show the damage.

Here is the new left side. Will be doing the right side someother time.

the new next to the old. you can see that the old one is bent.

bstc00 · Post by **bstc00** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 2:02 pm

so im taking the control arm off on the drivers side, i find out the the half shaft is broken

so i went a got a new one

bstc00 · Post by **bstc00** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 5:13 am

car is back together and man can i tell a difference.

bstc00 · Post by **bstc00** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 6:41 am

So I get off work and go to my car and there is a puddle of Trans fluid on the ground

I’m not sure what’s going on with it but I call up AAA to have my car taken to my house. I thing its the oil seal for the drive shaft. I went and got me a new one but did not have time to put it in last night. I’m starting to

hate neon’s. Just mine

latief · Post by **latief** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 9:08 am

Man that control arm is scary, how the hell did that happen? most importantly, how were you driving with that ? the alignment should be WAY off........

did you ever replace ball-joint before? if so, possibly it was bent while pressing the new one in, or the old one out......that is so strange..

nevertheless man, beautiful car!!! and even nicer rims

I got a call from a friend last night who had the same problem after replacing his axel. I got to his house late and it turns out he just didnt push the axel all the way in. There is a snap ring the has to go in all the way (you will hear a click) or u can leak trans fluid from there. I know they can sometimes be a pain to get in all the way, I found this out on my car but it will. Double check that.

I couldn’t' tell you how that happened. The alignment was not off at all.

I have never had the ball-joint replace before. It’s still good.

I know that strange I was wondering how that happened myself
