Just an update to this Replaced valve stem seals, to say they worn was an understatement! Practically fell to bits as soon as I touched them especially the exhaust side, fitted new oil seals all round as all but the oil pump seal was leaking, timing belt and did valve clearances too now engine runs ...

I put a sandwich plate in on my gen 2 3sge a few years ago, pic below, I looked for sensor holes but I don't think there is any on the gen 2, I have oil pressure gauge and temperature sensors bolted into it, had it for years and never leaked once, just make sure the plate is done up tight and look o...

Just an update to this

Used the alternator for signal in the end, didn't want to use the alarms virtual tach mode as it either tends to over crank or not keep the starter on long enough got the alarm to learn a fake tach signal of the alt and all works good

I recapped mine a few years ago, you can test them in circuit with an ESR meter, I had 2 gone both reading very high ESR replaced them and engine ran a lot smoother, my 2 symptoms where hot start issues and high idle every so often even after a idle valve clean.

Hey folks Need some help, my aftermarket alarm on my 2 has a remote start feature at the moment I've just wired it to unlock and lock car etc but would like to get the remote start up and running, I've worked out 99% of the wiring but my alarm has a wire labled "check engine" which in the ...

Yay! Finished it tonight, waiting what seem like forever to get the brackets for the gas strut, but video below, works pretty well and really happy it works the way I invisoned it would, I use my boot a lot and nothing more irritating than putting down your stuff after shopping etc and using the old...

Denso Pk20r8 seem to work just fine.

Just wondering what your thoughts are and has anyone ever done this mod, Im in the middle of doing this to mine the central locking module in my car has this feature so going to hook it up to an actuator. I'm fitting it as my boot lock is no more it's been covered up by a rev2 panel so can only open...

Just replaced a timing belt on my 3sge, made sure every mark lined up and checked it several times, does a new belt slightly alter the ignition timing as I wacked the timing light on it earlier and it's only very slight out before 10' btdc but it was spot on before the belt change.
