  1. OH and im looking for an engine to BUILD if anyone wants to talk about it maybe get a ball rolling. All I want is credit (my name out there) Id like to "polish a turd" and build an EA82 for performance.. I do have a "merchant discount" from parts stores so I pay half as much as everyone else... i will do any other engine as well but id like to make a bad rump roast ea82 Unless I get one first
  2. wow im sorry for the no reply guys usmb just sent me an email that I had a reply to my post. anyways heres the recent downlow and responses to everyones posts I run a business here. its been okay. Lately i havent been motivated which lead to me talking to an active duty recruiter today.. i havent signed anything yet.. My 'friends' are the tan go to the gym drive big trucks kinda friends and it gets old listening to "i have a $30,000 truck what do you got"... Anyways no friends plus hard work 24/7 with mediocre pay check just doesn't cut it. I would love some company here at the shop im usually here 24 hours a day... 'tallwelder81 im not too much of a go and and meet people kinda guy but its funny that my wifes name is sarah and shes brunette 5'8" ' I'm not too keen on the area. I'm more passive. I lived in Black Diamond for a few years so I know how to get around but nothing of the history. I moved up here from Shelton but before that I lived in iraq haha my one tour.. you can email, text or call me or just stop by kodylei@ymail.com 360 918 2404 I totally understand the truck deal. Theres quite a few big truck guys in enumclaw that will tell you stories about how a little lifed silver subaru wagon pulled them out of the woods And the lift is open right now im working in the center on a 92 yota so yea all clear no problem codehead - anyone is welcome here If I can get some kind of friend base built up ill stick around. My two options (that I like) I could choose for the army are 91A Abrams tank mechanic or 11x Id like to stay though
  3. valve chatter... is usually out of adjustment valves or super thin oil the booster could have thrown an o2 sensor code. id clean up the sensors Maf, o2, clean ur fuel injectors..
  4. well if you ever need help or just wanna come and hang out... 28207 228th Ave. SE. Maple Valley WA 98038 I still need to buy a subaru. (i sold mine cause i was told i was deploying i sold everythomg actually). I'm still all subaru at heart though.
  5. i might be somewhat busy but your more then welcome to come over and wrench (im doing a reseal and swap on a 92 yota v6) then hg's on a 1972 Cadillac eldorado then tranny rebuild on a 97 plymouth voyager but of course im not gonna spend all of my time wrenching on them.. im closed at 4pm so the shop is "Open" for personal time
  6. sure man let me know when your ready
  7. Got some new tools! Brand new: Engine hoist Tranny jack Engine stand Tranny stand 'Master' battery charger Few cases of engine De-greaser and break parts cleaner Impact sockets Mini Matco OBD2 Scanner o2 sensor socket Propane shop heater Not yet delivered: Master obd1 and obd2 Scanner Ratchet wrenches Tool magnet bars Mobile metal work bench Parts cart 3/8 impact wrench... Lots not yet ordered
  8. the next time the matco guy comes around (tuesday) ill be picking up a variable speed buffer for detailing. im using a cutoff tool and a micro cloth, its a bit fast for paint and tends to fray the cloth fast. i watch a few youtube videos of glass repair with an angle grinder and 3 different scratch pads..
  9. No i have not. The 3M compound spreads fast and easy and does such a good job i haven't had reason to look elsewhere have you used a clay bar?
  10. I noticed one day... I was trying to buff out a scratch from sand under the wiper blade on my wifes windshield. It wasnt working so well so i gave it a rest the next morning it was raining when we went to the store there was a NICE new looking strip where i had buffed the glass. the water beads up real nice and its crystal clear. Reason why im posting is because I didnt notice the windshield was so bad its an 03 jetta.. ill post pics but i used the same tools as i did on this CLICK THIS Put short it clears up you glass like new
  11. AHH HAA a mistake! just messin
  12. anyone ever use over sized valves or thought about using over sized valves on the 1.8 sp heads?
  13. well ive read: the 2.5 SB with SP 1.8 heads OB obd2 intake harness and ecu with TQ grind cams are guessed to be around 180hp im guessing your in the right area for power i wouldnt guess over 150 though
