  1. crankshaft question

    in Virtual Mechanic

    Posted

    Ya I bought a crank from a member on here and found out it was 20 over. Machine shop said it may be to weak for a Turbo engine but I heard it may be fine at that spec. I just had to ask before it gets resembled. Appreciate the prompt posting now I can move ahead a little more confident!

  7. Engine stand arms are not long enough! What can I do?

    in Virtual Mechanic

    Posted

    Sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot wasn't sure were to post a question like this.

     

    Here is my problem, I am trying to put my g54b on a engine stand. I can get the top 2 arms to go in place but the bottom bellhousing inserts are about under a inch out of range of the arm.

     

    What can I do? Iv looked for individual arms and heard there are extensions for them but no clue were to find them!

     

    My current arms are 5 1/4" I belive a 6" arm would be nessecary.

     

    Any help greatly appreciated

     

    Thanks,

    IV checked the oil when the car was cold and hot its saying about the same thing level ground aswell. When I went to my local parts store they said 5w30 conventional was reccomended, I just wasnt sure what the ford dealership deiceded to use.But a half a quart of 5w30 conventional would be ok? If it is infact synthetic?

     

    What if I used a Syn Blend?

  16. oil question 04 infiniti g35x

    in Just plain ol' B.S.

    Posted

    Hey everyone, I apologize if this is the wrong section to post this in but here it goes.

     

    I recently bought a 04 infiniti g35x from a ford dealership it was on consignment, it looks like they changed the oil but it seems half a quort low!

     

    Im going to st. cloud tomomorw bout 200 miles round trip but my concern is I dont know what type of oil they used (conventional or Synthectic) I want to top it off but I know if you dont mix them correctly it can create a barrier around areas so it wont lubercate properly. And the person who changed the oil isnt in till monday. So im kinda not sure what todo.

     

    Aside from changing the oil myself what could/should I do? any help is appreciated!

     

    Thank you!
