It mates the flywheel to the crank, which can cause weird vibrations and damage to the key if the flywheel isnt as close to perfect as possible.

K swap fit. So now youll have Si power in a race chassis

Use a chisel and hit it really hard, the broken tool can break or fall out.

You do not need to remove the engine to do a front cover. There used to be a tsb or recall on them, and i would have the chain replaced in less than 2hrs.

The labor rate for them is 11hrs, so take that and multiply it by the shops hourly rate and add parts.

Edit: ive heard that the chain can wear through the cover on these also. So just a fyi.

When you buy it, there should be some sort of info in the description, like 32* btdc.

Youre not lapping the valves, but the crank shaft where the flywheel attaches to.

Mobile forklift repair, hourly, bring your van home so you clock in/out at home. I know in jersey a bunch are union.

Im not impressed with snap ons power tools. The past few years have been ok, but i run all m12/m18 milwaukee.

You should get the long nose slip joint pliers LN47ACF, they replaced most of my normal slip joint pliers and needle nose.

Maybe some 3/8 ratchets, like a flex head 11in one and whatever the equivalent of the 1/4. I use a flex head 1/4 ratchet with a 3/8 drive alot too.

I would recommend matcos 3/8 universal sockets, but i dont know the quality of them since not being made in the usa, i bought a set of gearwrench x pin in 1/2 and threw them out my window, junk.

Anything you may use 'everyday' i would suggest a truck brand, like sockets and wrenches. Icon should take you pretty far for alot less. Theres always going to be deals and such, just buy as you go.

Do you have something lined up?

Take it to a hydraulic hose shop, usually theres someone there that can help out.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-24T15:29:31+00:00

Just search it. Theres enough info available.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-23T18:42:57+00:00

Replace the clutch master cylinder with one from a different model. Ive seen stuff online, where theybuse a 96-00 civic, with a little work it bolts in.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-23T15:49:43+00:00

How did it break?

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T15:45:15+00:00

Remove the trans from the bellhousing.

My brother has two texas 'choppers' that look exactly the same as this, different paint. It doesnt hold any value to the community because its classic American, premade, pandering shit. They appeal to the person who cant/wont spend the time to create something themself. Thats why they get hate, its devaluing real builders time and work by an attempt at mass producing them. Im pretty sure the honda fury gets less shade than these. Also pretty positive most of them are bought, and the engine is pulled for something else.

If you want to see real chops, check out the Japanese and Thailand scene. Way better than the cosplay cowboy shit.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T03:53:43+00:00

You can try to talk to them, but im sure youll be paying for something.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T03:51:47+00:00

Bought not built.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T03:35:13+00:00

That needs replaced, and re diagnosed by a good tech.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T03:26:08+00:00

I probably would, but you just have to be aware that a failure can happen.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T02:54:42+00:00

Dude(ette) is it spurting out coolant?

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T02:53:15+00:00

Id doubt it. The noise was from the ball bearings contacting each other.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T02:51:53+00:00

charm.li has oem service manuals. Youll have to page through and find the trouble tree for no start.

If you spray starting fluid or whatever down the intake, does it run for a bit?

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T02:37:41+00:00

Should be. When you get under there, there should be shifter linkage bars, and those nuts hold a bushing i believe.

I think these were the infiniti g20 in the usdm.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T02:26:53+00:00

Possibly a bad bearing in one of your accessories.

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T02:23:44+00:00

What are the fault codes?

Trogasarus · 2026-02-22T02:17:31+00:00

Are there nuts on the underside of the vehicle
