wow, thats a story! pretty crazy. Anyway, step one will be to find a FSM. Convienently, I have them for your donloading pleasure in the site in my sig, just go to the fsm section. Oh, and if you do happen to undertake this, could you take pictures along the way and post a write up when your done?

hey silpena calm down man youcan only control so much and even that is iffy! You just do like tech said and get the fsm downloaded then read that section a few times and go at it. What all is torn apart?

umm the egr and most of the emissions is take apart i have no idea why he took aprt the intake manifold apart upper and lower and everything around i wanna get a camra to show u guys. I might attempty to do this slowly on the weekend and i f i can find someone with a good camra i'll take pics along the way...hey maybe even idetifys all the bolts to they're locations... all i know is i got my car back becuase the property owner who this "guy" lived on told to tow it home becuase someone can break into it. right now i'm glad to have it home and safe. well i'll dl the fsm and print the pages like head removal, timing, intake manifold, and maybe some emissions. By now u think...damn this must look ugly well yes it does...oh yeah i think i need new cam sprockets but one is missing and one of my old cam has a lil ridge on it not anything bad i was told but i think some new brian crower cams would be nice and some jwt adjustable cam sprockets would wat do u guys think?? I havn't driven my car in about 2 months ever since the car overheated and blew the head gasket...warped by1200th of inch in the middle but nice and resurfaced! wat else should i do while the eveything is taken apart? maybe take off the butterfly valves. I checked all the vacum lines and that one thing that gets clogged that f's the idle and warm ups. All in all my car is clean! little no carbon in the intake lines and ports or anything my head was reallly clean my pistions look great, round and good seal and compression lifters grean all, emissions parts are clean, but one thing that bugged me.... my mechanic thinks someone de-clocked my odometer. He measure the pistion clearance to the cilender(sp) walls and piston # 2 had some more wear than the other he measured around 1100th of of aN INCH with a feeler gauge kinda becuase he said it feels like 200 thousand miles worth i have no idea wat he means becuase this car is clean as hell, interior looks great. I repainted it myself. You guys think hes crazy? And last question why is the 2nd injector different from all of the others? it has like 2 holes instead one to inject from unlike the others? i couldn't find if this a nissan thing or different injectors in the car someone swapped. well this has been a long post so feel free to say something or help me out u can even flame me if u want its better to ask than to not ask i could not have asked and f'ed something up ya know
