Yes, you are right. Looked around for M24x1.75 plug today, no such thing exists. Best thing that fits is a (non-metric) 5/8" plug which I got. Hmmm, don't want to live with that. What I'll do, is to sleeve the hole with a threaded insert and then drill/tap the std M22x1.5 thread. Crap, I hate n...

Great cars but I personally prefer the 424 with four doors. More practical and inconspicuous. This one sells for 7,500€ now...Beautiful! Just think of the 3-way suspension adjustment at the push of a button!

Hi guys, Strange things happening with the 24v motor I'm building. I'm missing the oil drain plug. The sump of course is rwd V6, from some gtv6 or 75V6, but the sump drain thread is not the usual M22x1.5. It seems its a M24x1.75. Looked closely at the thread and seems to be factory original, no sign...

Just for good measure, I had another shaft modified. Looks like some other guys here are thinking about going rwd with a 164 24 valver.

Spent the morning modifying the rwd oil pump shaft to look exactly like the 164 24v fwd one. The reason is I am one 24v pump short...probably lost it in all the junk I have or lent it to someone :roll: Anyway, the solution was to drill and tap the hardened tip of the shaft and install a cylindrical ...

Using the shaft from the 164 would be the obvious solution, as I did in my engine. However, I don't want to lose the last 164 24v pump I have; I have 2 spare 75 V6 ones though. I will therefore plant an M6 stud in the 75 pump with a spacer in the middle and that will give me a 164 pump. Its the simp...

Pics? Hahah! We woke up with ~2" on the ground, all water pails frozen solid, -1* at 7am. After that, it's been 100% sunny all day and the white $hit is almost all gone! That's Athens for ya! It may snow some tonight and go below zero again. The only danger is driving and walking around in the ...

Its ~1*C outside with snow on the ground (yeah, in Athens #$%*&!) and to satisfy my curiosity for trivial useless information, I decided to measure COLD cranking compression of my 3.2 engine. I pulled #1 and #4 coils/plugs, disconnected the crank sensor and cranked the engine (battery well charg...

This is the piston I have here. Chances are different runs will vary ±2 or more grams. To dynamically balance a specific engine you need the exact component weights of that engine, otherwise you'll be way off.

Ok then, you go there first just to make sure and come back later to tell us!

Oh yeah! That's what Paradise looks like! Tons of steaks and no MD -he's on the other side living on beans (he calls it gas generator research) and digging coal for my BBQ!)

He's been awful quiet lately.... Spending a few nights in prison with a biker gang changed the man; Since then, he always has a bar of soap tied to his waist -wonder why, he never talks about it! Hahahahah! :lol: :twisted: I've been busy these days, building the engine for a 105 'Scalino'. A man fro...

SLIPPED A TOOTH? :shock: Get that tensioner looked after! This is not a normal occurrence! You're lucky it was 1 tooth and not more... :roll: I haven't done anything with mine but I've started building another 3liter 24v for a friend who owns a great seaside hotel in Greece... We'll settle part of t...
