Well, got' damn. I was probably checking everywhere but right...... Here. ... As a bonus I DO have coat hooks. Broken. Lol

Awesome. Perfect! I feel like I'm 15 again.

Okay. Mount + bolt+ cover. Got it. I don't have the spot to hang clothes, either. That would actually be useful. What is the snap for?

I can not feel them, so researching to confirm I'm checking the right area. I've pretty much felt up my entire liner lol I found those pictures. They help with location but not with what I need to mount them. Just a bolt, I guess. I spent two hours searching. Will continue. This does. Now...

Before I pull down my brand new headliner, how are the OEM shoulder harnesses mounted? All I have are the clips that mount near the sun visors to attach to, when not in use. I need to track down everything else. Before I do, I want to make sure I CAN mount them before taking everything apart...

The shop may have said 2k RPM and I'm remembering it wrong. Compression is a mystery as I don't know the specs of the pistons. Comp test shows 155psi. No idea how the cam is degreed. Definitely should not be over 10.5:1, though. I'm currently filling will 91oct each time I get gas, I used to use...

update: New rocker shaft with old rockers. New lifters in. They make more noise on startup than the old set, but I don't care. Everything else works so much better. Timing issue: I had someone check the car and they told me they were seeing 33* at 3k RPM. My ECU is tuned to 26. When I run the...

Update: I found a crack in one of the boots of a spark plug wire, distributor side. Another had a bit of the boot melted away on the plug side. Replaced both and the knock went away. I'd suspect spark was jumping from the boot on the distributor. The crack was almost impossible to see. I...

Lifter tick.

Installed new lifters. Broken in with assembly paste, high zinc oil, and zinc additive. Car started and ran great. Still does except: When idling, I get a random detonation knock. It's only one and it's approx every 5-10sec while idling. I do have EFI so wondering if I contaminated the O2 sensor...

Update: pulled 2° of timing out and the noise seems to have went away. Finally a win for the home team lol

I hope not. Looking at the information I can find for the engine build, the compression shouldn't be that high. When I did a compression check, I was only seeing about 155 on each cylinder.

The ignition system is electronic and adjusted via Sniper 2. It didn't make this noise before the R&R. I used to have a slight bit of detonation under certain circumstances. The tuner got as much out as he could. It would still, occasionally, rear it's ugly head, but NOTHING like this. Funny...

I cut the shafts into pieces and removed the rockers. Everything else looked great, so reinstalled with new lifters and shafts with original rockers. Set lash. After break in, car idles and runs great but has hellacious (I think) valvetrain noise with any load applied. No way it's detonation...

With the ends crushed and the center not, the shafts couldn't have been straight. New shafts arrived today. As soon as I feel better, I'll be installing.
