speedi sleeve
oem rear main seal
light rtv on the oil pan gasket, especially the corners.

What really seemed to fix it was a catch can. I wish i would of done that way sooner, way sooner, like first mod soon.
Obviously the oem pcv valve cant move enough air.

Re: replace oil pan gasket in car?

ya the subframe has to be dropped enough to slide out the oil pan. if you dont want to fully remove the pan, you can just lower it enough to put a new seal around, you'll still need to drop it a few inches. You'll need to support the engine from above, probably disconnect the shocks, brake lines, sw...

Re: Unobtainium Rapido

Ive got the 28.5 front 19mm rear. I never had the 16mm to compare it to.
But ya I think its pretty awesome. I got into these cars just before everything became NLA.


hmm if only I had bought 1 of those MC2 Racing fuel pump kits haha.. I thought they would never disappear.

Re: Cars/bikes that hindsight tells us we should have kept!

My first car.. a 1984 Mercury Cougar v6 auto. i liked it,it was horribly slow (lost in a race to a SX2.0) but it was cool and it had character. I was young and when the head gasket blew, I thought that it would be impossibly expensive to fix, and I couldnt do it myself back then. I sold it to a guy ...

Re: PCV tube blocked?

I found the PCV hoses had hardened and didn't seal well, which reduced PCV effectiveness. Replacing the hoses did help. My current battle is the VC breather, which sucks. I cannot get a good seal on the grommet in the head, and I don't know why. It's been that way for 15 years, first with the origi...
