Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Buick V6 engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

smaller = lighter = less rotating mass ;)

haha

Me, and about 4 of my friends.

also didn't know but the intake ports are 1.83 vs 1.80 on previous Series II heads.

And you still dont have a clue, INTAKE VALVES are slightly large, not ports/seats. Castings/seats are still the same.

Not really sure if you are even serious about the crap you are posting now, I am assuming you are trolling, so I am giving up.

3-4 I've seen so far that actually posted pics, few others then said they had the same thing happen.

$300 for a L26 tho, can't beat that even with its' possible flaws.

How so?

A tune simply should be correcting fueling and a few other odds and ends.

If the motor is setup properly you shouldn't need to fool around with the tune much at all to get it running well.

He said that 99.9% of people on THIS forum have no need for tuning at all. Even a car in stock form can benefit from some tuning. It may only be small changes but it's still tuning. Not all cars the come off the line are the same or will run the same BUT they DO use a cookie cutter file in the PCM.

The other thing I would like to say is that I think some people on here need to respond in a more respectful way. Just because you can be hard on the internet doesn't mean that you should be. Some people do not know as much as you but it's no reason to be a dick. You want to be a dick then ClubGP is your site.

PS- 2 bar MAPs run on L36s just fine. :th_nanana:

I'm sure many owners on here need more important things like suspension or brakes.

Perhaps even rust damage corrected.

Agreed.

Minus the CGP reference.

Hypocritical to label CGP that way.
 


lol you guys..

Yes I meant Intake valves.. the diameter of the valve 3/100's of an inch larger.. wooo.. it was a sarcastic comment..as if it makes a difference. not trolling by any means.


Ideally, I wish I didn't spin a rod bearing, but now.. I just want to drive my car and I've outsourced an L26 + turbo swap and sold my supercharger and intercooler..

It is what it is and I'll keep you folks posted

Oil pan was dented when i installed it :) picked it up used the other pan was fubared.

Whats wrong with the roller chain?
I know i had to dremel the sprocket to get it to slide on.. might just be from my modifications..

Give me a ring and we'll decide the game plan.
