ok good to know... you say assemble then balance? Is that a thing? I though they just weight everything..weight the crank and then balance the crank. Is that not the standard practice? Also, when you say clean up the cylinders would that mean boring to a bigger size or just a slight hone? ...

You’re probably right. Couple more questions if you don’t mind. I’ve never replaced a bottom end before. I can’t simple put new rods and pistons in correct? The crank needs to be polished and cylinders honed right? Or might it be ok without those processes? what is the generally understood...

Really? Man that sucks... for some reason I thought the gen 2 blocks were a bit stronger.

I just recently blew a head gasket... so while I have the whole thing apart I was thinking about swapping pistons and rods since I’ve heard the pistons are most likely the weakest link. so the question is what do you all recommend? My car is Procharged making an estimated 700-750 at the wheels...

Is there a way to know if the head needs to be milled? also, are stud really helpful in reducing head flex or is that just a sales pitch?

I think you’re probably right. If it is indeed a blown head gasket... can I just throw in a new gasket or do you always need to deck the head? Jackson1320-I don’t understand your PM

Gotcha... sorry I meant which spark plug? I attach pictures of a couple different ones...

Which one in particular? There are a couple pictured.

Will that work if I’m running e85?

Yeah I hope it’s all OK… Getting nervous about a head gasket problem. I swapped coils today so we’ll see...

Good advice :thumbsup: I have an NGauge but I’m not sure how to log individual misfires. Any tips? Just to clarify all the plugs looked pretty much the same. Cylinder 7 is the picture with the more noticeable white deposits. I threw the cylinder 7 misfire code. I would assume that’s the only...

Quick bit of context: I’ve been having some misfiring at startup so i figured the first order of business is to swap plugs. Pulled them out, they all looked normal. New plugs in and it’s still misfiring. So I did a quick compression test. All good! But when I pulled out the new plugs(only...

I know this is an old thread... but any chance you got this solved? Having similar issues.

I’m having the exact same problem... any updates for this? Any solutions found??

Yeah actually it has... probably just below 50 degrees in the garage in the morning... that would make sense.

Good advice , I’ll check them out

Hi there, I just all of a sudden started getting some misfiring when cold starting. Just started doing it one day. essentially brand new ngk plugs. I’m running e85 so a hard cold start is to be expected but I through a light the other day and I can tell some unturned fuel is making it into the...

That’s good advice.... well it definitely wasn’t broken in correctly... the flywheel and Floater plate definitely have a lot of hot spots... but centerforce saw the picture of the pp and they said it looked totally fine. So I’m thinking I’ll try resurfacing the flywheel and maybe the floater if...

Thanks so much! Do you or anyone else know if floater plates can be resurfaced ?

Does anyone know if a 2014 clutch will work on a 2015 gt? If not, what would be the reason. Thanks!
