you get the car running yet?

Sleeper Stang96 · 04-11-2005, 10:22 AM

Yeah, runs great! Have to change the oil/filter, and it sounds like I might have a small exhaust leak from where the egr mounts on my long tube, like it isnt tightened all the way. Trans is still all screwed up though, I am probably dropping the transmission out of the car this weekend, but I might wait another 2 weeks or so until my new torque converter shows up, and the braided steel lines for the cooler lines (replacing those ugly stock ones for the hell of it.)

Oh, and I still have a nasty squeak on start up, sounds like the flywheel and starter arent aligning or something, but as soon as the car cranks over, it stops....any ideas? (I might just change the flywheel when the trans is out of the car just for the hell of it. it did this with the old starter, and this is the new starter doing it too)

Cam sprocket bolts were loose. I had the covers off, and oil was shooting everywhere! Shut her down, leaned on the sprocket and it wiggled. I was able to unscrew both cam sprocket bolts with 2 fingers!....torqued those down and all was well. :hello2:
