mine wont unstick, what should I do? This is the 2nd or 3rd time im cleaning it. Its been off my car fora few weeks now, i've left it to soak in castrol super clean, WD40, Carb Cleaner, and now ATF. Im sorta being lazy with it cos my car needs a new engine soon, but it would still be nice to...

its not in there.

What is it? Anyone?..... '02 P5 2.0

yeah, im on my 2nd set, replacing them again today!

when my valve wouldn't move, i think i left mine to soak in diesel for 3-4 days. after which i still had to play with it like crazy and use more SuperClean. .... and then a couple months later it got stuck again, i cleaned it again and it seems fine now.

it depends on their condition, i live in canada and drive in salt, mud or snow, or salty mud, or salty snow. when i put a hex key in the bolts head, the sides of the hex just crumbled.

their bs, even with the allen key holding it in the centre the hex head just crumbles, the sides are super thin if theres any corrosion whatsoever. I ended up popping mine off, which still broke em/their real weak. If you can get em off without breaking them, your doing something special and...

you should need an alignment after this, unless you can figure out the max camber settings by eye and then just tighten --> I'll try this today, and if im unsuccessful, brag about how well it went.

OBD2 feels knock (physical rod bearing contact to rod journal) and spark detonation as the same. The computers automatically inclined to run rich to correct any lean situation which may be causing the pinging and retards timing so the car runs slower too. How to change the rod bearings? remove...

mine will knock on anything below 89. and yes motor will knock more in lower revs under load, higher rpms and the pistons just moving too fast to give it the time it needs to explode. btw, listen to it very carefully, when i was dealing with this problem i found that i got rid of most of the...

it starts out this way, and progressively gets worse, you'll notice the engine not being able to keep a steady pace while driving soon, then the stalling starts happening, clean it now it'll only help anyways.

mine WAS bearing knock, i've got scathed rod bearings to proove it, anyways changing them was a COMPLETE b**** and required drilling 2 holes into the tranny to pass thru a socket. so they maybe telling you crap, look into it and force em into a warranty?

The noise I had turned out to be audible pinging (help) . Anybody else also on their second set of rod bearings now?

sounds like your just low on refridgerant (Sp?) have it topped up and see if it solves the problem, you did say 365 days a year... thats like 20 times the days of ac use my car sees (Canada, Toronto) hell even on hot days i just cruise with the windows down...... piiiimmmmppppppp ok ok im...

I can imagine this only happens to people who beat on their motors more. the carbon build up comes from excess hydrocarbons in the exhaust, either unburnt fuel (most likely coming from WOT situations) or even worse, burning oil. i bet grandmas driving the auto p5's dont get this problem at all...

ok.... I've always wanted that Honda shift knob, so I go out and buy it, the guy at the store tells me it fits a P5, i check and it doesn't so I take it back and he looks at my P5 knob, sticks it on a Honda shifter and tells me it all fits and then when i look at my P5 knob i can see the threads...

thats the exact shift knob i have, but the top is flatter. http://www.vibrantperformance.com/products/catalog05/pg50-52.pdf the PDF has a picture of the shifter and the shift knob... P/N# 1950 , 1983T I had a feeling nobody would beleive me (probably largely due to the fact that I used...
