    Only thing I did to the 3s today was replace the trim piece at the top of the rear window that the squirter mounts on. Mine was pretty faded so I pulled the one off the parts car.

    It failed over 4 times but today when it gave up I fucking heard the valves get punched by the pistons . Every single time I take it back apart, the tensioner plunger will be pushed back in. So I don't know what that means. Guys have tried to explain but ...

    Sounds to me like your not setting the initial tension on the belt before the tensioner is applied.

    It isn't that hard to time one of these engines if you can read and follow the service manual. Running solid lifters and/or a solid tensioner pulley can prove problematic if you don't know what you're doing. I say take it to someone that has worked on these cars before or ship it to a shop. You've already spent 2-3x more than it would have cost to have Ray do it for you.

    Today I swapped out plugs, found out my BOV port on the stock intake bubble shot out my bottle cap I had in there plugging it, ended up recirculating my BOV instead, fixed a few cracked vacuum hoses, and determined that either my 120 mile old Aeromotive Stealth fuel pump is dying on me or the 50 mile old fuel filter is clogged up because I'm definitely not getting the fuel I need. It takes about 5-6 seconds to crank and start it to. It barely wants to run the first 1/2 second.

    Your filter is most likely clogged. When you put E85 in it cleaned all the shit out of your tank, which all got caught in the filter.

    Oh just working on gauge stuff. Got the LED needle ring and LCD panel mounted to the tach tonight. Here's a test shot with one strip of LEDs across the top of the gauge (i.e. uneven backlighting is expected).

    Pulled the rear subframe, installed the 6-sp back onto the car - Once positioned took 10mins with 2 people and an engine crane! Easy with so much off the car
