Here's how to adjust your shift cables. http://gti-vr6.net/library/tra....html

Quote, originally posted by moocowjr » running autotech 10lb and its great. add the ecs crank pulley and it revs like a 4cyl (well... almost) just watch out for MIL's for misfires. ECM can't keep up with the rapid accel and decel, thinks its misfiring. What on earth are you talking about? You've got other issues fella.

No, they're different in size

Probably 1/2npt looking at it, its physical size is close to 5/8 JIC which is the same as a -10an. Check here: http://fittingsandadapters.com/fitsizchar.html to make sure, and if you can print check this: http://fittingsandadapters.com/fitsizchar.html Modified by need_a_VR6 at 10:11 AM 11-8-2009

good job so far!! might have to start watching this thread! whats this gonna be going into?

Guess I'll post a parts list too. OEM stock valves/guides Autotech HD valvesprings with Titanium retainers OEM stock cams (for now) 82mm 10:1 JE forged pistons rods...up in the air right now AASCO lightweight aluminum flywheel MkIV headgasket ARP main studs ARP rod bolts Raceware head studs all new gaskets, bearings, seals, chains, water pump, oil pump, etc. etc. etc.

i am unsure of how much room you have, but i use some sockets that are cut inside like a turbo inside. mine are snap on but i have seen them at local partstores. you put the socket over the out side of the bolt or screw and as you loosen it, the turbo like cuts inside grab tighter and tighter with each turn. hope this helps

Check the Hybrid/swap forum. You have to combine two pins on your fuse block for the cluster to work from a mk3. If your mk2 cluster doesnt work then you need a tach adapter.

floated a valve bent some, or skipped a tooth or few with the timing chains. take out the spark plugs, crank the motor over by hand and see how awful it feels. If all feels normal replace the sensor and see if it starts. If not begin tearing motor apart

That code means exactly what it says. Pull your intake manifold off, take off the valve cover, take off the side cover and then rotate the crank to TDC with the intermediate shaft mark showing while someone holds the tensioner tight so you don't skip any timing. Throw the cam alignment tool in to check mechanical timing. Make sure that the chain guides aren't broken and check that your tensioner is still good. Also make sure there...
