the haynes book describes the right procedure, but the pics assume you have turned the crank 360 deg. if you go by the pics alone it will throw you off. if you read the text then the pics will make sense!

were the head gaskets new? if they were the original gaskets, the gasket probably let go before she cracked a head. it is normal for a soob to have a slight crack between the valves. as long as the valve seat didnt fall out!, i have used some questionablr heads myself and they worked fine. chances are it just needs a head gasket. but do both of them for safer measure. dont let some backyard mechanic screw up your ride, trying to put it together like some kind of ford or chevy!

jim, i got my car running with thos spare parts you gave me! she rund like a scalded dog, but still dooks a little bit when warm. anyways, it has a single row radiator, and i went around beating down some county roads last night. the radiator kept her right in the temp range, smack in the middle i think you should be ok, since mine stays cool while romping it.

i had to do the heds on my 132,000 mile motor with a floppy crank. i am running 5w30. the single row radiator keeps it in the right temp range. just got to work the bugs out of the mpfi itself

i know the 4cyl turbo xt injector is the same as ea82t injector, and ea81t for that matter.

i think it will have to do with the coil/ignition system, and the wrong voltage signal to the thermo switch, only dookin out when warm. once she gets running, the custom intake is going back on. we towed it to the gas station woth the RX. Myoss Feece tows me thru the mayor yard, and all i can do is follow. i managed to clip a trash can en-tow who else would go thru such measures to put gas in a car that doesnt run!

oops i thought he said ea81. i need to get my eyes checked like an OLD DOG

no, i had a 6 inch on trashwagon5. it was homemade. i took it out because it wasnt straight, i used too thin of metal. so if you built a 6 inch, and have it now, then you WOULD be the ONLY one with a ea81 6inch, but not the FIRST:D ant way you go, the only thing that cost me on my lift was saw blades and welding wire. and rent on the building. but instead of using thru bolts, i used stock suspension bolts to hold one side up to the body, and leftover bolts from other soobs and lug nutz to hold the suspension to the lift

you would need to use the tranny crossmember for an ea82 MT a 5spd driveshaft should work, in fact, any driveshaft rear section is the same length from the carrier to the diff the xt6 ft4wd around here has a 3.9 final gear

well maybe it has to do with a taped up inlet i got. i pucked up some turbo goodies yesterday, and i am gonna use the stock inlet(now that i just got one) to get it running first.

yeah, you go to title a soob with like 135,000 miles, but it reads "odo discrepency" when it can read up to 999,999!

hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, mudderfuggers!

it has a hill holder because its a manual tranny. trashwagon still has one from her 2wd 5spd

toss the cups on the guy who threw a bottle out as he passed you!(you should have been there!)

the 81 glf had teh feature, but maybe it was an option rather than standard as in 83

it can be done, but the ea82 conversion has to be done first!(which has been done)

yo! it is possible to use ea82 lower control arms and axles if you cut the lower control arm mount off an ea82 and weld it to the ea81 crosmember. that will allow you to use the ea82 balljoint/knuckle/strut. you can modify the ea81 strut cap to fit the ea82 struts, use your choise of spring. it will add a little but of negative camber, good for cornering. you will have to change out to ea82 tie rods. ea8s rear trailing arms will fit on the ea81 with skight mod, but any ea82 brake or hub will fit on the ea81 rear trailing arm. i have the ea82 suspension in (83)TrashWagon 5, so with tose mods, it would readily take xt-6 parts just like that! there is a diagram floating around the board, it was from rguyver's plans, he did the same thing to his hatch ea81 spfi turbo!

yeah, i helped

its the land of But-Tucky. Butler: the town named after But. and the dook nougaty splookum of the land scizzape brings a fyostey twinge to the atmosphere. Whoa! HereComes Bill-Anus!!! watch out, as he attempts to pinch josh's choad! While Zanny Dookes swings from the Nute Sack of Ro-Neece, will the glf fix the brat, or will it become another product of the Derelict Factory? You should have had Yosh abolish the dept on the RX and hand over the Title deebo on the chrome roof rack (I called it!) or give me back my sedan steering wheel!

i suspect it could be the little nougat on the coil bracket: jim has some spare parts for me to use, maybe i should swap out the ecu,fom an 87 turbo. the thing that gets me is the reference voltage for the tthermo sensor: its supposed to be 5 volts, but id 3.6, and its 3.6 right off the ecu. i have a coil that i know is good, and my pick of 3 distributors. hopefully i get this thing too run right. its ironic my car dooks on me the day before i got my license back! (yup, i'm legal, the car is insured and plated, too!!!) Yo Yo Yo! What it is, mutherfyorker! Myoss Feece! my fecal brother! lets take a slo-cruise in lo-range in the rx, and twist an axle if you know them ebonics i be spewin'!

ok, i'll do that. so what would cause a wrong reference voltage right off the ecu. would that be the ecu itself? i have no idea of what condition this car was in before i got it. the motor was inthe trunk! all i know is its put together properly and doesnt leak!!!

i considered having them apart to test the components, but the haynes manual is worthless in this department "as mentioned in chapter 11, but may have to look in chapter 4" and how would a distributor be descrobed in the "body" chapter*stupid haynes) what should i check for on these (volts, ohms) swapping the whole wire is a good idea. i had an spfi dist apert, so i know what to i'll be getting into.

i meant 'thru' 88

"The (component) is difficult to access, so we reccomend you take it to a qualified dealer or shop to have it serviced"-Haynes i'm having the same literary troubles when it comes to troubleshooting my MPFI!

its possible you can make a about 2 inches of SUSPENSION lift in the rear. you can drop the diff hanger and make strut extensions the same length, keeping the axles and diff and hups in the same relation to eachother. if it goes hight enough, you can make a drop shackle for the diff thru-bolt mount to ease the angle on teh driveshaft as it is on the 87 rx with te 205/55 16 inch chevy 6 lugs! having it up in the back a little will also raise the front up a little bit, too
