    TA Thread

    Sad, but true. The fact that the place became a Gen 5 reacharound makes it all the more inexcusable and those responsible should be flogged in public. Maintaining the Technical Forums is worthy of Viperdom's highest efforts.

    Gen 2 bore spacing?

    I'm hearing 4.55" from an original Team Viper member - but not Prefix. He said it's the same as the Magnum 5.9 V-8 and Magnum V-10 engines.

    Gen 2 bore spacing?

    The engine shop is asking me what this exact value is and I don't happen to know it. The internet can't give a reliable answer, so I'm asking real people who might know *with certainty*. Thanks in advance!

    Parking brake options?

    If you live anywhere near a major business town, check for a brake and clutch rebuilder. They can bond and rivet a generic liner on the backing plate.

    Mystery misfire

    Run the engine in the dark and look for wire arcing. Pull plugs 5, 7 and 9 to compare them. Look carefully for signs of ceramic cracks, or grounding paths from wire/boot to plug heat shields.

    Differential fluid and modifier

    I'm using Valvoline 75W-140 synthetic in the handy squeeze bag. It already has the friction modifier in it. Our diffs don't hold a lot of oil and if you're running it at the track with regularity, I recommend changing about every 12-18 months.

    NAPA carries a wide selection of panel fasteners. Hopefully you have an old one to compare to.

    Power Steering Cap Fix

    Cooler, pump and lines probably hold 2/3 of the system capacity. The left and right sides of the rack tube account for the balance. I vacuum out the reservoir, turn the wheel lock to lock 3-4x and vacuum out the reservoir again. Then I remove the return line and push a 1/4" vacuum tube as far...

    Mid-'90s Jeep Grand Cherokee used the same reservoir & cap.

    Coolant leak issue...where is it coming from

    Good thread on ViperAlley: Removing Passenger's Side Cylinder Head with Engine in Vehicle

    I'm dumb, what is this coolant leak?

    That photo is of a '94-'96.5 Gen 1 wet sleeve engine. PCV in the passenger valve cover. Clean air inlet in the driver's cover. The link you posted shows the nip ple and hose from the Gen 2 block port.

    I'm dumb, what is this coolant leak?

    You have what appears to be the correct valve. The housing configuration varies by hose size and routing. The working guts vary by specific engine size and performance level. I believe the 8.0 Viper uses the same HP valve as on the big block Magnums and Hemis from 68-71. It is possible that they...

    I'm dumb, what is this coolant leak?

    The 96-97 setup is an S-shaped hose running from a nip ple in the PCV grommet and up to the standard PCV valve under the throttle shaft. From there, it goes to the tee feeding behind the TB's. The valve contains a spring-damped tapered pintle valve to vary the blowby flow back to the intake...

    Gen 2 ACR water pump?

    If you nose up on a curb stop, or climb a driveway at just the wrong angle, "that one lower fascia bolt" will punch right thru the bottom corner and drain your siphon tank. Every time you cool the car to ambient it will **** air into the system.

    Gen 2 ACR water pump?

    Could be overfilled siphon tank. Or, one of the lower fascia bolts has been pushed into the bottom corner of the tank and it is leaking.

    I'm dumb, what is this coolant leak?

    The photo shows a PCV valve that is not correct for '98+. They all went to a drilled orifice in the tee to the throttle bodies.

    I'm dumb, what is this coolant leak?

    T-stat housing gasket, or the heater flow hose off the top of the housing. At a minimum, the intake has to be lifted and propped up at the front for either one. The intake assembly weighs over 30#. If you want to take it off, then pull the fuel pump relay in the trunk while idling and let the...
