whoa really. it plays tunes and stuff

i got all my factory stuff. i wonder if mine works

I have the nut on it and I am turning it with a wrench. its the same wrench i used to turn it before. before it turned pretty freely. now not even a budge.

Well I did the BSE. My car is in time and everything. Here is the issue. I dropped my oilpan to clean it out. I was going to spin the crank so I can get the pan back on easier. It is kinda hitting the back of the crank. If I turned it I could slide it in no problem. So I go to turn it. It does not b...

Here are two pictures. The first picture shows the sprocket and spacer pushed all the way down and fully tightned. You can see how the chain doesn't line up no more by looking at the chain guide and lower sprocket. Picture two is where the sprocket should sit to line up.. but you can see the quarter...

I think my balance shaft.. or as the book calls it. Silent Shaft is bad. It does have excessive play I think. The timing sprockets can not line up because of the play it has. I was searching for a replacement and I came across an Eliminator kit. I guess that is just a new chain that goes from the oi...

Ok the only punch on the sprocket is the groove where it slides on the crank. is that the punch?

oh your completely right. now i feel dumb. welp time to put the timing on. then thats all she wrote. can't wait for her to run

I don't want to mess up my timing. The book is showing the bottom timing mark NOT on the plated link. But the directions say line up the plated links with the timing mark. I am so confused. Here is a picture of the book.

I have to keep that ugly big metal box on my car? I can't remove it?

Ok sounds good. I guess I will leave it on and just add another fitting on my fuel cell. Sorry for the dumb question ;p

Are they required? Can I just remove them. I don't want to have to add extra on my fuel cell.

Hello? :(

I noticed there were alot of non-reusable rings in the throttlebody. I have been looking for a re-seal kit. I found this one. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getLocator&siteid=214331&chapter=ANP705&appSectionid=6&groupid=10024&subgroupid=20140&componen...

Well I figure since I have to fix most of this crap anyway, id want to re-run all the wires and do a good tuck job while im at it. IF I could find another starion around here I would be amazed. I would definetly take some parts off of it.. But I have been to all my local junk yards plus the big ones...

From what it looks like, my car has been ghetto wired so many times I am not sure what is what sometimes. I have extra wires and broken wires all over. I can't find a place that sells a replacement wiring harness. My only other option, and what I would like to do anyway to make it pretty, is rewire ...
