How much oil pressure is TOO much?
erik litchy replied to karinvail's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
too mutch oil pressure can on some more primitive cars break the oil pump driveshaft by the amount of power needed to make that pressure. other than that no. that sounds fine except for the leak. -

making my GL faster
erik litchy replied to Subaru_dude's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I just got an exhaust today on my car. my muffler had rust off, and i was driving around with straight pipe. i got a dual outlet muffler installed the power curve is moved a touch lower by the seat of the pants meter. but the mileage took a dip. I would never want another straight pipe sounds AWFUL and noisy, not like a v12 with a straight pipe like a POS. I took pics, they are still on my camera but I lost the cable bottom line just a muffler wont make it fast. maybe you need a turbo or XT4 engine. Id want the XT4 engine for its better intake manifold and dual ports. -
looks really cold

EA81 Auto's... suggested fluids etc...
erik litchy replied to TheSubaruJunkie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
actually ford in all thier wisdom have several current ATF fluids. mercon, mercon V some i forgot like type F for older fords honda has thier own theres surely others that have specialized fluids. the fluid quality is less important than its properly cooled. -

Is this engine saveable?
erik litchy replied to hooziewhatsit's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
its salvageable at that stage id get the engine hot tanked to remove the bulk of filth. id install new valve seats, pitted valve seats are bad for power. the cylinders, well it depends if the rings left any mark from sitting on them. honestly id use it if there was some personal value to it. -

what would one gain from this? sounds like the paint would have to be really thin for it to work. -
