Without getting yourself killed, do a burnout on the other side of the road to rule out the crown of the road making the rear drift right pushing the car left.

I would say that the passenger wheel...

I've got something similar and so far it is winning. My whine starts at about 3,200 RPM but doesn't get any worse with increased RPM. Same thing on the belts, squeal with both or either belt, but...

Think you are out of luck retaining the bracket with the 3" covers and even the 2-1/2" would require spacers. You could fab up a new bracket that was tall enough to clear the valve cover. I'll...

The slope on a cam lobe and the taper on a lifter have a lot of margin for error. You need slope and you need taper but it's not rocket science. Now what does come up and bites you hard is lousy...

I'd say that #7 was leading the pack and failed first but would also bet that the remaining 15 lifters and lobes are all showing varying stages of failure.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
