    1G Quick injector question?

    So I recently purchased a set of used FIC injectors on the classifieds. I'm in the process of making a poor man's clean and flow setup, so I can clean my own injectors. So my question is this.

    1G Idler pulley questionable?

    So I'm on the home stretch of my 6 bolt rebuild, and everything has gone fairly smooth (knock on wood). But today I was putting on some of the timing components, when I spotted a possible issue. While cleaning the idler pulley I noticed that it has puked some grease out the back seal. The pulley...

    1G Balance job advice?

    Where's a good place I can send my 14b into for a balance job? I rebuilt it about 6 months ago, and unfortunately it was howling a little bit afterwards.

    1G Short block advice?

    What's your guys thoughts on this re-ring kit? I'm preparing to do a refresh on my 6 bolt, and I've had good luck with these brands on other engines I've overhauled.

    ECMlink Need some guidance?

    So I'm on a quest to learn the basics of tuning, nothing fancy at this point. I saved for 3 months, and finally was able to purchase ecmlink. Which is my first experience with any engine management system. I grew up wrenching on old carbed v8's, and some old EFI systems. I've studied up on fuel...

    ECMlink Houston we have a problem!

    So I finally got ecmlink and a socketed ECU from a fellow dsm'er off the classifieds. The ECU had been worked on from ecmtuning. Extremely excited I jumped right into the installation.

    General Knock sensor question?

    So I recently discovered that my knock sensor was puking oil out that back. Also have noticed my performance dwindling, just not as sharp as it was. Which after reading lots about how it works, I'm sure it's giving a false reading (phantom knock), and pulling some timing. Making my car kinda...

    1G Shifter issues?

    So my 91 talon Tsi is having some shifter issues. Since I purchased it 10 months ago, it's been a little crunchy. And I've gone to great lengths to remedy this, which helped for a while.

    Oil on my intake manifold

    So I've been noticing an accumulation of oil puddling up on my intake manifold. It's down in the valley past the injectors. It has me baffled. I'm really not sure where oil would be coming from here. I see 1 or 2 intake manifold to head bolts looks a little oily. Does any of those bolts go into...
