Just got car now knocking



Just to make sure I have this right. To run the non supercharged engine, I need headers? What's supposed to be in the tune? I can run the cheap 200 Ebay headers?
 
the tune needs to be changed to a gtp file, map sensor and it pig tail need to be swapped on the na car too. you need headers so it can flow better, and yes speed daddy $200 headers are what a lot of us run.
 
Scott, you need to read more lol.

It's already a supercharged car, nothing would have to wired in nor the tune changed for that reason.

The tune just needs adjusting because the NA bottem end is the difference.
 


I found water in the oil. I checked it after I changed the spark pugs and took for test drive. It was clean. Now I just checked it and it's muddy
 


I found an n/a engine for 436 at lkq. I'm going to do a top end swap. What's the torque sequence and numbers for the head bolts? And will the engine light be on running an n/a bottom end?
 
well at least the one rod to the locked up piston, you maybe able to put a breaker bar on the crank bolt with a pipe and make it move again, its trash but they do break free some times. as long as it didnt get to hot.

Click to expand...


to run a na bottom end you need headers and likely need a tune.

thats what im running now. bottom swapped set up, mods in my sig. my car came with a l67. it needs the timing lowered one degree for sure in most set ups.
 


if your plan is to re use your heads, make sure you find a blown head gasket, cause a cracked head or blocks the only way the l67 leaks coolant into the oil.
 
Ok I will. Hopefully the heads aren't trash. I'll take them to the machine shop and get them cleaned and checked. Now what's this about timing being retarded? You tune these also?
