Well it's been almost a year to the day that my exhaust to intake timing chain broke and bent all the intake valves. I have everything back together but she won't run right. Backfires and stumbles like the timing is off. I think I may know the problem, the cam sensor took a hit from the broken...

I broke the timing chain on my 92 e36 and bent the valves. I am finishing up the reassembly and have an extra part that I now believe goes somewhere on the head (hopefully not under the head). It is a all metal threaded check valve with an oring at the base that is approximately 1/2 in in...

Is LRP really having the NARRC Runoffs on a Saturday, SUNDAY Schedule? I knew they were petitioning to be able to run on a Sunday but I thought it was only for the NASCAR event in case of rain. I was just filing out my calendar for the year and thought that was strange.

Just a heads up I've been chasing a 1/2 gear hub sleeve for a rebuild in a 2nd gen tranny. It is no longer available from Mazda and the cost of a new mold has been determined to be non-commercial. The 1.6 Miata uses the same sleeve and has the same issue but they have a work around that uses the...

On the back straight of Mt Tremblant this past weekend 3 laps into a session I was WOT in 3rd gear pushing just past 6000 rpm when a small pop occurred and the car went dead. The timing chain and the tensioner had come right through the front top of the valve cover. I got the cover off today and...

I've been fighting a missfire above 6500 to redline. The car almost cooked itself at the pig roast (appropriate name of our New England July NHIS event). I had no idea just how lean it was running until I spent the last 4 days at the Dyno trying to trouble shoot the problem. Above 6500 the car...

Anyone have a recommended break in procedure (track time, not dyno)for an ITS 13B engine. I just finished a rebuild with good used housings and used rotors, new main and rotor bearings, new carbon apex seals, all new oil seals and orings. It started and idled on the first crank and i let it idle...

My master kill switch does not kill the engine. The ignition switch will kill the engine but that totally defeats the purpose of the master kill. The master cuts all the power to the car before the engine is started but if the engine is running there must be a power loop via the alternator that...

Other than the transmission mount, the shifter cup and the .697 vs .711 5th gear is there anything different between the 86 and the 89 tranny? Is one less prone to failure? Thanks ------------------ Jamie Kekeisen 86 ITS RX-7 NER 92 325IS under construction

Anyone have a good solution for a replacement battery tray for the 2nd gen? The plastic ones are all gone from my local yards and they don't last anyway. Thanks ------------------ Jamie Kekeisen 86 ITS RX-7 NER 92 325IS under construction

It was mentioned in another post about the mandated tow hooks. Just curious what folks were using on the 2nd gen rx7. I like straps as they seem a lot safer than having a fixed bayonet ripping up bumper covers. Semi recessed is an option but where to mount? Any creative approaches out there...

Just curious, I'm quite new on this forum but why does everyone post emails addresses on this forum by spelling out the dot "." and the at "@"? Is it against the forum rules to type it as a normal email address or a website? Thanks Jamie ------------------ Jamie Kekeisen 86 ITS RX-7 NER 92...
