Here's what I use. It's an old garden sprayer, some 1/8 vinyl hose, and a plastic 1/8-27 npt hose barb adapter. The metal adapter screwed into the side of the block is a 1/8-28 BSPT to 1/8-27 NPT adapter for my aftermarket oil pressure gauge. No need to go hog wild pumping up the pressure and aerating the oil, 4 to 5 pumps will do. If you dont want to tear up a garden sprayer, go to your nearest marine supply store, and buy an outdrive gear lube pump. It screws to the top of a 1qt. oil bottle, and will run you under $10. It will have a different adapter ziptied on the end of the vinyl hose, but a trip to lowe's to get the right one easily fixes that. I have a boat, so i use my sprayer to change my lower unit oil too. Unless you have some plugs for where the oil cooler lines attach or the turbo feed line, i wouldn't reccomend doing it while the engine is on the stand. Wait till it's in the car and all hooked up. As you can see it by the puddle on the floor it starts coming out there. Once the engine was in the car, I filled the oil this way. http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp121/hschwartz3/1987%20Mitsubishi%20Starion/Engine/8%20to%201%20motor/oilprime2.jpg http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp121/hschwartz3/1987%20Mitsubishi%20Starion/Engine/8%20to%201%20motor/oilprime1.jpg http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp121/hschwartz3/1987%20Mitsubishi%20Starion/Engine/8%20to%201%20motor/oilfilterassyandauxsender.jpg Once the motor was filled with oil, I disconnected the neg. and pos. coil wires, disconnected the injectors and cycled the motor a couple seconds with the starter to verify i had pressure.

that picture is awesome, would love to know more about it. i would think a moutain lion/cougar would be creeping up on it's prey, not standing tall with it's head cocked to one side like a german shepard trying to figure out what to camera man is saying, although it is plausible.

i'll be watching this thread with some interest. like you, I couldn't get all get all my cam card numbers to work out either. No matter what valve lash setting. .001, .003, .006. I just gave up and used the centerline method john mentioned above. Works fine, just didn't have that warm and fuzzy feeling like i was expecting.

What aftermarket F.P.R works best on a conquest?
hschwartz3 replied to stonetree's topic in Virtual Mechanic
I've used two types, the MSD 2222 and the Aeromotive 13109. Both work the same. The MSD unit is cheaper, but what i dont like about it is, you have to mount it in series with the stock FPR via a line, braided or rubber. Most fuel injection line is only rated for 50 lbs, so you end up riding around hoping the line doesnt rupture. As you can see in the picture, that line see's what ever fuel pressure your pushing. http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp121/hschwartz3/1987%20Mitsubishi%20Starion/Engine_center-1.jpg My solution was to cut off the stock fpr, tap the hole for 12mm x 1.50, buy an aeromotive 13109 fpr, a Russel -6ANx12mm adapter, use a copper crush washer, and mount it to the existing TB....done. http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp121/hschwartz3/1987%20Mitsubishi%20Starion/Meets/2010meet3.jpg -
Well I said I would never buy another one

whats that crap under my airbox?
hschwartz3 replied to starquestG54B's topic in Advanced Virtual Mechanic
you could always use the space and opening in the core support vacated by the charcoal canister for a custom cool air pickup. not that it's perfect, but you get the idea. http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp121/hschwartz3/1987%20Mitsubishi%20Starion/Misc/coolairpickup.jpg -
I've been getting an advance auto flyer in the mail for the past three months. It's barcoded at the top and offers the same savings mentioned above and i love it. i asked the guys at the store about it and they said if i use it i'll get another one next month. So i do. I usually use it on oil changes and fluids that the online stores dont want to ship. that way i still use the coupon but still get compare prices on hard parts. i tell you, i never run outa brake clean, antifreeze, oil, rtv, towels....ect...anymore, lol

2010 Mopar Nationals August 14th OHIO ( MI, PA, WV, KY)
hschwartz3 replied to cyberquest's topic in StarQuest Meet Planner
I'll be around Heath tonight and pretty much all day tomorrow. Gonna stop by the mopar nationals on saturday morning before the meet. If anyone coming needs any car assistance, I have a trailer and truck if it comes to that. PM me for my phone number. jszucs, 13 is your typical 2 lane highway, not too many stops, windy curvy in places, i'd say it'd be perfect for a bike ride. i have not been past mt. vernon on it though. see you all then. -
