well gary I think you are a lonely old man that likes to *************** about little things. sometimes when you are a frustrated subie owner all you can say is HELP. Your negative remarks to some posts, (ie about saying things the way people should post or how to title a post) really makes for unenjoyable reading. if your that grumpy about this stuff stop reading the posts or learn some patience. I am speaking for myself of course. sorry to all other readers for jumping this post. Jim

so do you see possible problems with this? if so what are they? Jim

well just finished putting new heads on my 88 gl10t. even after reading all the posts on this subjectI neglected to blow out all the galleries on the cam towers. I learned a lesson though . just because I was very careful in putting on the sealant between the cam tower and head didn't mean that it was a cinch,not by any means. after pulling r head I found no (visible) reason my lifters wouldn't pump up. so I started to blow air everywhere in the oil system, and behold a blob of three different colors of sealants came flying out of the main journal for the cam tower. this must have been in the system since before I got the car. I really didn't like the thought of having this possibly happening again so I found a way around the goop. I went to the oring building kit and got a long oversized piece, some superglue gel and some clamps. I placed a small dot of glue and began stretching around the groove placing dots of glue ocassionaly. the I placed my support oring with a couple more dots of glue. put her back in the car , not a problem yet.

I have a bunch of ea82spfi parts, and actually a whole car 91 loyale.come up to deadwood and I'll hook ya up. Jim

if ya can't find one I probably can help

had that nasty clunk and it turned out to be a broken shock. couldn't see any damage, even after removing it. replaced it and no more noise.

with my 88gl10t I have had to go around and repair the ground wires. I use a shakeproof lock washer in between every wire and the body with some anti corrosion grease. works quite well. Jim

ok so you guys are losing voltage regulators, why are they going? I have been driving and working on subs since the mid seventies and I have never had an alternator problem.(must be why I have 2-3 laying around) anyway what is causing this? Jim

has anyone done this? I have access to a motor and tranny from a xt6. Jim

I have a used ea82t clutch. it's used but should have 50k left. you pay shipping and you owe me jim

what about the wasted fuel washing the non firing cylinder? Jim

on my gl10t i had a leak on the cooling system that turned out to be turbo cooling system. is this leak on the pass or drivers side? Jim

according to the fsm DO NOT DO IT. YOU RUN THE RISK OF FRYING SEVERAL DIFFERERENT SYSTEMS. Jim

I had the same problem on my 88 gl found out that the head on one side was cracked into the water jacket. she would heat up right quick. I had no signs of coolant burn on the plugs, valves looked quite different. Jim

thanks I'll try your suggestions. you any relation to glenn gross?

I just put rebuilt heads on my 88 gl-10 turbo, I had it running somewhat rough and then lost it. I checked to see that # 1 was inline with where it should be it was correct she has spark to the plugs. can smell enough fuel in the exhaust to get a buzz, yet plugs aren't wet. thoughts? oh it's an ea 82 mpfi Jim

have you checked the rear drive line?

first thing I would check is for compression leaks into the cooling system. have you tried to torque the heads? as far as the blinking effect on the lights it sounds like you have a bad ground some where.

I had a simular prob. on my 89 mpfi turbo came to find out that the ground from fuel gauge sending unit was broken. fixed this and it cleared right up

car isn,t using oil. what is the story on the green wires? timing is on the mark.

whilst driving down the road at varying speeds it feels like the car loses gas flow until I step on the gas and the turbo kicks in, car runs fine for a few secs then the process starts over again. any Ideas Jim
