Within the last couple of weeks:
- Completed wiring on my Innovate Oil Pressure and Water Temp Gauges.
- Replaced cluster water temp sender (single blade). No more jittery water temp gauge readings.
- Turned fuel pressure down closer to 3bar (~46psi is close as i could get it).
- Welded on a proper sized 1" nipple to my intake pipe for my recirc valve. No more compressor surge.
- Changed out all worm gear clamps to T-bolt clamps.
- Changed out oil seal on distributor.
- Set timing.
- Re-sealed valve cover.
- Oil/filter change.
- Changed timing chain tensioner to newer type.
- Re-grounded o2 sensor to IM.
- Re-grounded MAF to IM. Let's just say HUGE difference! WAY smoother running, noticeably better fuel economy, hesitations almost completely gone. Best free fix i've done by far...
To-do in the near future:
- Check and clean spare IACV, AAC valves. Replace.
- Splice in Harness and change out stock Water Temp sender.
- Set idle to 1k rpm.
- Change out distributor O-ring.
- Reset timing.
- Run hose from IACV breather on IM to nipple below recirc valve.
- Install VE valve cover.
- Run hose from VE cover PCV to IM PCV.
Lots to do, not so much time to get it done. Steady as she goes...
