I actually just ran to the dealership and got a new one. I had a feeling I'd need a new one after if extended all the way. Silly mistake on my part but easily fixed. But will that cam alignment tool work on the L15B7?
Might change out the head gasket? I'd definitely do that compression test and/or a leakdown test first. I can't look at your logs right now since I'm at work, but keep an eye on coolant levels, temps, and your exhaust.
Hello all,
So my head gasket went. My head is currently being resurfaced, but I am at a loss on how to reset the camshafts without a cam lock tool. I've looked everywhere for one but haven't really found anything. Any insight on this would be much appreciated.
Also, is there a way to reset the...
I use the Sirimoto, it was readily available and less expensive. If you have access to a borescope, you could potentially look in and try to see whats up.
Yep! My throw out bearing essentially exploded and ruined the pressure plate and disc. Luckily the flywheel only had cosmetic damage, nothing on the actual friction surface. I had to replace the pressure plate and disc and I'm using Redline trans fluid. No clutch related problems now.
Also I...
If I'm trying to be really smooth (for passengers/comfort) I'll short shift into 2nd. So only getting to around 10-12 mph then shifting. In my experience, it's much smoother and you can shift at a normal speed.
When I installed this CMC, I had a similar issue with the cruise control, fortunately it went away after a few days and cruise control is working as intended again. Hopefully the same will happen in your case?
Happy 400th post lol
But nope, a sprung FX350 was in the car when the TOB failed and it was replaced by another sprung FX350. I loved it before the failure so I figured I would use it again. So far it feels pretty good!
I didn't know if I'm supposed to edit my post with new info or not so I'm just going to reply to it. I'm adding a problem/issue unfortunately :( my throw out bearing "exploded." Well, actually the ears snapped off, rattled around, and ruined the clutch and pressure plate. When we replaced it the...
Mod list: FX350 w/SMF, acuity bushings and shifter upgrade, amsoil synchromesh, Sirimoto CMC and clutch line, CDV delete
So some back story... I had the classic high rpm lockout with aftermarket clutches. It wasn't terrible after I adjusted the master cylinder plus I don't drive too hard very...
Just figured I'd chime in since I have an FX350 w/ SMF and used to have this problem all the time. What works for me is smooth but relatively quick with clutch out:throttle in. I usually have to rev to about 1500-2000 (closer to 2000) and then quickly (but not dumping) releasing the clutch. It...
Hmm, don't hear a lot about their intake. I know some (Injen) do a poor job of keeping fuel trims in check. Bad trims could definitely cause knock. Do you have any other symptoms? As of now I'd say take it off and run the stock intake and see if it makes a difference. And be sure to clear the code.
