As someone who used to 'regularly' adjust my cam timing at the drag strip between runs...usually one 1-2x per day at the strip...searching for the...

if you've replaced or 'adjusted' the belt, you really need to get the the belt to the correct tension, rotate the crank a couple times, then check...

And I don't know the success of other's timing belt work, but I've done that job twice, and had a buggar of a time getting everything to line up...

yep.. .sounds like timing, possibly cam AND ignition. FIRST -- cam timing. four stroke engine, crank turns twice, cam turns once. for cam...

yes I still have the wheels, but they are on tires at the moment. Shipping would probably not be very economical. $250 for the wheels, but definitely...

I am on the same track as Rob, based on your description of what was done/happened before parking it. I would focus on cam then ignition timing.

Just a thought ... Have you gone through the whole procedure to check cam timing? I am thinking possibly the distributor could be 180 out or possibly...

Welcome to the list! After trying to start the car, have you pulled the plugs and had a look? Are they wet, dry, colored? Additionally,...

wheel pictures

Please send me a pic of each individual wheel. Thank you .

Do you still have the wheels and if so how much and how much to ship to 46725? Pics?

I have been using a product called 'RPM' - Rust Preventative Magic. It's a wax-like compound you apply to hot components. It's primarily for bare...

I can attest to the dull aluminium paint Ted used. I also did my intake with it and like the results.

Neither C-100 nor Simple Green had much good effect on my test part. I ordered the low-end 'blast from a bucket' gun and glass blasting media. ...

Gene, if you have a local powder coating shop, machine shop or wheel refinisher, they usually have a blasting cabinet...rather than an open air gun. ...

Sigh, no sand/bead blaster here. I've honestly never needed one. The one time I did, we were doing a frame on a 2nd Gen F-body. Then, though, we...

Gene, I have always sand/bead blasted my aluminum parts with great results. Just make sure you clean any/all residue off before reassembly. I have...

I too have never dived into a turbo to check out the insides...luckily never had too (knocking fiercely on wood). I would think the specs for the...

Got more time out in the shop and under the hood of the SVO. Finally got the lower intake off. H0ly Cr@p what a job! The two lower center bolts...

Good job. This is one thing I've never dug into on my SVO. The original turbo went out several years ago and it's currently just sitting in a box...

Ended up using my old bearings, because i was unable to find the correct size. Luckily the old bearings were still in spec. Also note the...

If these are still available, let me know. I'm free to come see them this week.

I'm glad they are going to a good home, thanks Gene!

Still have this for sale. $325 + shipping.

The parts got to my little corner of the swamp in great shape. They look better in person! Thanks, Gage!!
