What have you done to your MSP today?

[Wagonbacker9]

Yeah, thats definitely not a head gasket.

 

[Maiello169]

OKay good, that sounds a lot better than a head gasket leak. Would that have anything to do with the constant miss fires i have been having as well or no, and just get the correct coils boots and packs... is there a better brand to get for coil boots and packs that want cost an arm and a leg ?

 

[SCMP3]

It could if your vc is leaking around the hole for the spark plug. Does you boots/plug have any oil on them?

Possible if oil is getting into the spark plug area. I never had problems with autozone coils.

 

[Maiello169]

I only pulled one out today and there was no oil on that one. With the coil boots they gave me yesterday i'm guessing are not the right ones correct? well by the pic.. They came with springs as well.....

 

[Wagonbacker9]

I bought the coil and boot as an assembly..

No, they gave you the wrong stuff...

You want 2 of part # C1340 (coil pack) and 1 of part # 9185 (wire set) once you have those, its self explanitory.

 

[Maiello169]

Yeah i went back there today and got the wire set, and they only had one coil pack on stock, so I have to go to the other local AutoZone tomorrow to get the other one, but installed the others today, and the car starts lol Got Valve cover gasket kit as well. (next on the to do list )

I think they shouldn't be in the road if they can't go the speed limit if their is no ******* bike lane.... nothing like doing 5mph in a 45 because some ass wants to ride his bike in the road with no freaking bike lane. Some times you can't just go around them by going in the other lane and that just ***** traffic up and makes the road more dangerous then they already are.

Got my BOV in today, how is it supose to stay on the flange? got the kit so it came with one.... Doesnt screw in or anything, has an "o" ring then it just sits there and yeah doesnt stay on lol

flange (t shape thing), o ring, bov, then you need to put on the clip to seat the BOV down

 

[Valk]

that clip..... ... . next time i swear ill get a greddy.

 

[Ricktalife]

Yea those C clips are a real b**** to get in. If you don't have the right kind of pliers you are basically screwed.

 

[justanothermp5]

**** that clip, took me like 3 hours of dicking with it to finally get it in, and it wasnt even for my car.

Greddy FTW!

 

[Valk]

i welded the body of the valve onto the pipe. mangled my cclip pliars, had to modify some needle nose ones to work, then broke them, pinched my finger and got real pissed.

I picked up a crappy $6 snap ring pliers and I had it in in about 30 seconds... took me maybe 5 minutes when it was in the car.

 

[justanothermp5]

Well I had snap ring pliers, I just couldnt seem to press the BOV into the flange hard enough....I even used a ******* 12 ton press (gently) but still, compared to the 2 bolts of a greddy, I would much rather do a greddy then an HKS

LOL a press? seriously?

Heres the tip. Start with one corner of the C-clip, wrap a rag around a channel locks. set a small socket on top of the C-clip, and squeeze the socket down with the channel locks on the pipe behind the flange and just work your way around until its all seated in there.
