Just thinking aloud here. Justin, could it be the opposite of what you are explaining, that the failure is due to the overall diameter of the trigger wheel, and that the crank resonance is causing the screws to fail since they are not on the rubber damped portion of the pulley? Obviously we know ...

Sold!

Brand new, never used. Standard size. $110 shipped

Regarding the internal/external balancing comments from the 1st post. I cannot technically say which is true, but I do however have some findings of my own about the extra nub in the damper.

I had my engine balanced about 5 years ago by a well known engine building shop in Sacramento. They balanced ...

Hello ere'body

:stupid:

I mean that about both the by smoke and your wonderful wife. Tell her I say hello and merry Christmas!

However, I have a hard time imagining Derek driving a B5 V6.

My wifes car is a a B5 v6. Love the car, tolerate the engine

The exhaust sounds so much better in the flesh. Worth the work put into it and I'll be looking forward to building my own just like it some day

looks good man... I vote going with an original color. If you don't pick carefully. Most non stock colors I've seen sprayed on any type85 doesn't look right (imo). I've only see one painted in the R8 Teakwood brown metallic that looks super sharp. I think it would probably look really good going ...

Nine and a half or ten miles ought to do.

I bet your whole family was glad to hear that weird squealing noise in the middle of the night! "YAY, daddies car is working again *they all cheered*

I'm also glad my advice worked, cause pff, it would looked really bad on video with you naming me directly as the source of advice had it done ...

BOOOOOOOOOOO "this video is private" lol

I think we have some confusion here, the alignment marks are for TDC but it's not a bad idea to confirm that the window is at the hall when the pin is at the VR, which is what I am seeing in that pic. The pin and window are not at the sensors at TDC.

Darin, do you have a trigger log?

I think ...

it looks like the locating line on the dist. is one tooth off. it should be pointed at the little notch on the dist. housing.

Based on the discussion on the previous page this is how it should line up. Derek are you saying if the engine is at tdc the locating line should line up to the little ...

Having video editing/converting issues. Otherwise it would have been posted already. Little time, must go *runs*

man, such shoddy workmanship. You should send that thing back to whomever built it and demand they keep it until it's fixed right.

no turbo really kills teh I5 fun factor by about a 9.7on the sphincter scale

lucky John!! I told the last cop that pulled me over I had an ignition miss and he laughed, told me not to drive like a jackass and to have a good night. I think he didn't register my speed because 63 in a 25 woulda hurt!

where dem eurolights at.....

just FYI, if you put the sway bar there in the rear, with those endlinks, the top portion of the endlink where it attaches to the swaybar will rub the axle. It's location relevant to the front is different due to different ball joint locations. You need the other more S shaped bracket (can't ...

That exhaust sounds great. FYI, if you get rid of the OEM PS pump, you get rid of that atrocious whine from the front side of the engine. I moved to a later pump for my Serp. belt setup, and it's wonderfully gone. I just got my customers mars UR up and running on the 3B and used the old style pump ...

If the frame rails are shaped the same inside as the type85/89, you will have to put big notches in them. Check 40v4kq's thread for what we did on his car.

There are a LOT of things that make the 40v engine pretty tough to install in an older chassis. Overcomeable, but very time consuming.
