    Rattling and imbalance on the engine

    You can access the crank damper bolt without removing g the pulley, but it's awkward. (6) 1/2" hex bolts and the pulley is off.

    96 dipstick indicator

    I used a couple tie wraps that I could slide over the tee handle to keep it from pushing out quite as bad. I think the primary culprit is blowby pressure. Lots of surface area to push against.

    96 dipstick indicator

    Before I did the screw-down cap mod on my GTS, it would push the dipstick out under high engine loads at the track quite regularly.

    Viper Alum V10 New bare block

    Very obviously a wet liner block - so Gen1. Also, no t-stat/CCV outlet behind timing case, so not Gen2.

    European Rt/10 exhaust replacement

    I actually bought a Euro exhaust system for my 93 that I was going to install, but ended up trading the car on my GTS. I studied the later setup and found the turn-ins from the side sills come farther toward the middle than the 2 muffler BUX setup. You may be able to use the full G2 rear set and...

    Plugs and wires

    Now that you've earned your stripes - next time, put some silicone grease on a Q-tip, then apply inside the rubber boots before pressing onto the coil towers and plugs.

    Belanger Headers, Corsa, and Plug Wires

    That came from Hennessey. It is really nice and makes HP at high speeds. No longer available.

    Belanger Headers, Corsa, and Plug Wires

    Very true Steve! Make sure your O2 wires run straight away from the sensor, then bend gently to keep them at a safe standoff distance.

    Belanger Headers, Corsa, and Plug Wires

    I'd bet money the orange stuff is probably high-temp silicone sealer. The plugs just might be OE, but they don't look too bad. A little lean maybe.

    Belanger Headers, Corsa, and Plug Wires

    I just put these Taylor looms on my car with Scott wires. The bolts supplied were all about 5/16" too long so I trimmed and chamfered them. I had to double-nut and remove several of the OE studs but they worked out pretty nice IMO. You can order these in multiple colors, 8 or 10.4mm wire...

    Rattling and imbalance on the engine

    First thing to do RIGHT NOW is to confirm that your crank damper bolt is not loose. It isn't easy to get a wrench on, but imperative that you do! Are you having any steering issues too? You'll need a 1.25" or 32mm deep socket and a breakover bar. Or a short one with the right extension.
