Team3S: messed up engine
OK.guys,
My TT stealth has a very bad
knocking sound. I need to know if there
are roller bearings on the
wrist pins. Is it possible to pull the oil
pan out from the
bottom? IF that's possible, can you get the rods and
pistons out
without removing the crank? Are shortblocks or whole motors
available?
Price?

Team3S: EGR Trivia
Anyone ever notice all the black stuff on the
inside
of their exhaust tips? Seems to me thats the same junk
the EGR
valve is injecting into the plenum. Reason enough
to block the EGR along with
the crankcase breather line.
The feds may want our cars to eat their own
waste products,
but I for one won't let mine.

No, the wrist pins
are press fit plain bearings.

Yes.

Possible but
likely not the right way to do it. Once you're there why not
do it
right...
> Are shortblocks or whole motors available?
Probably
both, but definitely short blocks.
> Price?
$2600 give or
take. A rebuild will likely yield better results unless the
crank is
shot.

This sounds much better and it shows that ou
cars can be fast :)
Unfortunately the turbo mag consists of many, many
errors. I just recall the AFC
/ ITC setup a few months back as they messed up
a picture of the connections. If
someone would install the parts like this
the engine would never run :) Also the
article on Chris Doturs "Wild Blue"
was not that good as Chris said that they
cut and changed the article in a
bad way :(
But is there any better mag around ???

Yes, you have to put out the small transaxle connection (if
its the right word)
and the pan can the be removed.

Yes, at least for the pistons. My mechanic just did this job on my
car and
replaced the 6 pistons with the engine in the bay. Not really a big
deal.

I doubt that there is
any better magazine around. July 97 Sport Compact car
butchered the
original article on my MR2. Several things were printed
inaccurate.
These things were accurate when submitted.
I feel some of the editors in
these magazines have trouble comprehending
what they are reading. Maybe
they just don't care about accuracy and feel
they have to put free plugs
about their venders.

Team3S: X case
What color fluid is in the transfer case? I'm
leaking what looks to be oil
but it seems to be coming from the trasfer
case. Does this sound right?
It just started today. The trasfer
case is pretty new (one year/25k
miles). Any help would be
great.
Thanks,

Subject: Team3S:
Another EGR Question
Hi all,
I've been skimming through the recent
discussion on EGR, and may regret
not paying closer attention now...
I have a vehicle (non-Stealth, but hopefully you'll forgive me) which
on
Friday exhibited some strange behavior. After running smoothly for
the
first week of ownership, it suddenly began running very roughly. It
got
steadily worse over about 10 minutes, until it finally died - in
the
middle of an intersection, of course. It started right up, and
continued
running roughly for a couple blocks, to where I could get it off
the road.
The gas gauge showed 3/4 full, so *that* wasn't it. I
restarted it, still
running roughly, but now accompanied by a STRONG sulfur
smell. Also, the
power-assist on the brakes was non-functional. I
decided to have my dad
follow me to the dealership (he was driving my
Stealth, see how it all
comes together?), to have them take a look at it. On
the way there (about
a 10 minute drive), the roughness went away and the
sulfur smell
dissipated. By the time I got there, the engine had
smoothed out enough
to "make a liar of me" when I tried to show them what was
happening.
Also, the power-assist on the brakes came back within a couple
minutes of
pulling away.
Their first guess as to the problem was a
chunk of carbon deposits had
broken loose and temporarily blocked the EGR
valve. This lead to
incomplete combustion, the rough idle, etc.
They've kept it over the
weekend, and will put it on the computer this AM and
see if any error
codes show up.
So here are my questions:
1) Is
their explanation a reasonable possibility?
2) What possible linkage could
there be to my braking system? Would poor
or erratic RPMs affect the
brake fluid pumping mechanism?
The vehicle is a 94 GMC Jimmy, if that
makes any difference.
Thanks for your help, and for your
indulgence.

There are no *stupid*
people in this world, only *ignorant* ones.
Ignorance is a good problem,
because the application of accurate
information can help people get over
it.
However, ignorance combined with arrogance closely resembles
stupidity.
