Thanks for your help all![/u] Quote
fleetwoodguy79 Posted July 31, 2003 Author Report Posted July 31, 2003 Ok, here we go: 1. Does the intermediate shaft drive the oil pump? Because it looks like its just a cog that drives the timing belt. 2. I have pretty much all new parts except for the igition coils, EGR valve, and fuel injectors. Is it a good idea to replace these as well? Because they are extremely expensive. 3. I was told by FFP NOT to alter the cam timing since my tranny more than likely will not hold the torque. With all I am doing to this motor, you think it will hold anyway? 4. Is there a gasket that goes between the tranny and motor itself? I ALWAYS see them on cars, but I see no signs of it on this one. 5. Anyone have a 4T60-E in good condition they wanna sell me? Sorry for the long post, but I've gotta get this thing running soon! I'm too excited! In case you don't know what I'm doing look at: http://gzebrasky.home.insightbb.com to see whats going on. Thanks and take care! Quote
RomeoZ34 Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 As for the tranny question, if you are looking for a 4T60e to buy to put in a car w/ performance mods, I would be wary. I am waiting for mine to go, afterwards, I will probably take out a loan and buy the 4T60eHD that ASG sells. It is essentially a 4T60e tranny casing, w/ hardened parts from a caddy tranny. It can hold up to 400hp and it has a warranty. It is around 3k, and that includes installation. Quote
brian89gp Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 1. Yes, it drives the oil pump. 2. If they are good why replace them? Those parts are fairly easy to get to anyways 3. The cam timing is more for the 5spd's that can take advantage of higher rpm's 4. Not that I know of. 5. How soon? Quote
fleetwoodguy79 Posted July 31, 2003 Author Report Posted July 31, 2003 Brian, ASAP? Putting this thing back together soon, kinda shakey about the tranny Travis gave me... what do you have? Quote
brian89gp Posted July 31, 2003 Report Posted July 31, 2003 Nothing for a few months, and honestly unknown condition (can't predict the future can i?) Quote
