well...

re-miced the bearings and housing, they are a perfect fit. i think i measured wrong the first time. its still rattling at idle. i dont know what the ____ to do anymore.

is it because of the polyurethane motor mount inserts??

i still have a oil leak and coolant leak..

im seriously getting fed up with this pos.

 

Can you tell where the oil leak is coming from?

Same with the coolant?

 

The aem wb gauge self-calibrates. Its not like the innovative wb, or some of the others out there.

I have polyurethane motor mounts, and at idle the car does shake more than normal, lol. Once the car is in movement, its very smooth.

 

I think, once you get all the leaks fixed. Just have it towed, or drive it extremely slowly (out of boost) to the tuner.

 

oil is coming from pulley side, near the p/s pump

coolant is leaking on the tranny from drivers side of head, checked lines that go to the heater core and they are extremely tight.

 

does it make the supercharger sound like its going to explode?

 

for the oil leak check your crank seal. had one go bad on me and it poured oil out. cheap fix and relatively easy. for coolant leak, check the throttle body. the xa xb is a cable driven TB and different from the TC fly-by-wire, but I believe yours has coolant in and coolant out. Also check the thermostat housing too.

 

you know what i didnt even think about the tb. i thought it was the heater core, ill check that today.

thermostat housing is up front and its sealed tight.

i replaced the crank seal myself on the engine, ill double check it, maybe i dont have it in correctly. i have royal purple oil all over my pullies, belt, p/s pump, pretty much everything on that side of the engine bay is covered in oil. but its only when im on the throttle, driving it around. its not leaking at idle, maybe because the pressure is higher, i dont know.

 

if you tightened the crank pulley bolt with an impact gun, then I would bet that the seal is damaged.

 

Well ____ how do you get it tight? just with a breaker bar or..?

 

torque wrench. car in gear and someone on the brake.

 

check your service manual. should be around 90ft-lbs.

 

as for Oil, Check the plug on the back of the motor, RIGHT BEHIND THE P/S PUMP, its got a huge alan bolt hole. Mine was loose on my built motor from the machine shop and it leaked oil everywhere.

as for coolant def check the TB, prolly a leak in the line if its not tightened.

 

GREAT NEWS

just to finish this thread off, ive been working on the car all day and...

FOUND THE LEAKS

oil was coming out from the pulley side of the valve cover, gasket was ____ED up severely

and the coolant leak was from the T coming from the head, it was the hose on the part that you can barely see, the clamp was never tightened down,

got my bumper back on today, after my valve cover gasket comes in tomorrow she'll be back on the road in full force!
