  • Tell me what you want

    It's been awhile since I posted any news, so figured it was about time. Not much has been going on with the site, besides the temporary downtime, and subsequent software upgrade. I also decided to get rid of some of the bloat and get the site back to where it used to be. A fast site full of information. And will that said, how about we get some more information going?!? It seems that my ongoing rants, raves, and pleas for users to add content is for the most part failing yet again. So I'm going to try going about this a different way...

    I want you, the users of the site, to tell me what you want. The topic with the most interest is what I will work on. I'll do all the research, and put together the article, full of pictures, graphs, or whatever it takes to fulfill the the article. Depending on how it goes, maybe I can do one a month. In a few years, perhaps will have some decent content back up on the site.

    I would like to thank robertisaar, Tbay99Venture, geldartb, and 60dgrzbelow0 for their article contributions. Didn't want you guys to think I was ignoring your contributions.

      Ok, so I am working on the exploded diagram right now. I have all of the original exploded views for reference, I have all of the old numbers erased, and I have started to get the new numbers put in. I am starting a business trip as I type this, but it is only for a seminar, so I have plenty of time to mess with this. My goal, for right now, is to get the image done, as well as the image map (click on a number to send you to a description page). For now, all of the component will be named (rollover the number and it will show the component name), and go to a default page for information not entered. From there, I will begin to build the individual pages for all of the various components. The individual pages will be in the future, though.

      Awesome. Make a copy of the map and key so we can use it for multiple engines, as well as for WOT-Tech possibly. I think it would be awesome to have an image map of an engine bay, or of all the parts we cover. Engine, computer, transmission. Obviously, this is just for after the engine stuff is done, which I am sure will take some time.

      I think this one will work for all 3x00s, and maybe more. Just need to see how in-depth each component page gets. I'd love to see descriptions, part numbers, links to troubleshooting, etc. for each component (as required, obviously).

  • Fresh Install, New Server
    by SappySE107
    Brad got the site up and running again and its finally responsive again! I will be spending some time creating articles based on what I used to have on the old WOT-Tech site before going to Square, as well as posting some more dyno results as we get them @ R&R Motorsports. Still working on what isn't working still, like the avatars, but most seems to be working. Any issues, please post on the forum, or respond to this article....

  • Aftermarket 3500 LX9 Lower Intake Gaskets
    by SappySE107
    If you are replacing the lower intake gaskets for whatever reason, its most likely going to be a metal and rubber gasket, like this.



    which is great, if you only want it to seal. If you want it to make the power it use to, then you need to remove some of that rubber, like this.



    Then you throw it on a flowbench (or take my word for it since I did this step for WOT-Tech)



    And see what the flow difference is.

  • Site Downtime while moving hosting site!
    by bszopi
    So after way too long, I've finally gotten sick of paying $110/mo to host this site. And what is crazy is, I paid for 3 years up front, got double the cores and double the memory, and it cost me about what 7 months costs on the current host. So it's more cost friendly for me AND it should be just as fast or maybe even faster than we currently have. We shall see.

    Now with all that said, now comes the task of transferring the site over. I will most likely work on it at the end of...

  • LZ4 vs LZ9 Connecting Rods
    by SappySE107
    Too many resources have shown the rod length to be 5.9" for both motors. We have known for a long time that the 3900 LZ9 rod is 5.827" long from measurements, but the LZ4 was kind of a mystery even now in 2023. Maybe its out there, but most people want to build the bigger motor. However, there is something more to these motors than to think of them like bigger 2.8/3.1 motors. Unlike the 2.8 and 3.1, the difference is the stroke and rod, not stroke and pistons.

    Having both...

  • Saginaw power steering pump - Resealing....
    by davida1_hiwaay_net
    Hi folks! Sorry I've been offline for quite some time. Been working overseas and it's been crazy! Anyway I finally got around to fixing the leaking steering pump on my 84 Century. As far as I know the PUMP is original to the 1987 year engine (which i bought as a core engine). For quite some time, it has leaked oil slowly, so that if the car sits for a month or so, all the oil is gone out of the steering pump. So, today I fixed it. I was quoted a high sum of money for a "rebuilt" pump o...
