Damn that sounds like the number It should hit being as your at 470's on 15lbs.

Also, meg, are you implying that Rosie O'Donnell can't drive? :rotfl:

I didn't see this question. I have a hks ssq 3 blow off valve that's how it sounds I was told. There may be a small amount of compressor surge at low boost or right after blow off.

My hybrid racing timing chain tensioner broke. I do not believe it jumped time. I have recovered all the pieces from my oil pan and oil pick up.

Hybrid sent me a new and improved version of their k series tensioner.

The problem is I have to pull the motor because it looks like the top bolt to the timing chain guide on the left came loose and has been moving around and ruined the threads.

Wow, how does that happen? Glad to see they sent you a new one. What's so special about the new one vs their old one?

It has a silver knob :giggle:

I asked hybrid to explain.

" The silver plug is pressed in and is retained with a spiral retaining ring. What makes this unit much different from the last one is that the retaining ring is held in a double blind groove. The last unit used a typical groove in the bore. That lead to high frequency pulsations ejecting the ring and eventually the plug too. We had issues finding the exact cause that lead to the pulsations as the ring manufacturer didnt have much helpful data. we were, however, able to remedy the issue. The double blind groove prevents such ejection issues."

I'm going to try and pull the timing cover with the motor still in the car. If I'm successful then I can start driving it again and then focus on breaking down the new Transmission I bought so I can send the gears off for treatment. :D

I wish you the best of luck with getting that cover off while its in the car, but i just don't think it will be possible, keep us updated though! Also hit me up if you ever have a trans question, its daunting at first but super simple after you dive in!!

I have said my prayers bro lol and yes I am procrastinating on the Transmission :o
It looks complicated and I know it will be a month between disassembly and assembly so lots of time to forget stuff.

Keep your PM box clear my friend because I will have questions hehe :p :beer:
