My freind had a Cabriolet kinda like that, except his is dark green and some limited edition, called Etinae Auigner, or some shit like that. And does that S10 have the 4.3L HO Vortec V6?

[Lincolnmania]

no more leaks mang?

[gadget73]

Its a 4.3 Vortec V6. They didn't make an HO version, this one is 175 hp. All stock, 143k miles, new trans at 130k. Runs fine, no major problems. Installed ball joints on one side and a fuel filter. Ran out of motivation and didn't bother with the other side. They aren't as bad on that side, barely any play. I'll deal with it later.

[gabegt90]

no more leaks mang?

just little drops coming from the bottom pump gasket nothing a little rtv can't fix

[Cable Guys FGMQ]

Nice work.........

[Lincolnmania]

little drops should not be......i sealed the crap out of it, you saw that........just make sure it's not just leftover antifreeze dripping off

They did make a HO version of the 4.3, but I guess they only put em in Blazers. I know someone who has one, it moves pretty quick.

[trife86]

what was wrong with the old chain? Besides being dirty it looks ok

[gabegt90]

My car was pissing coolent from the timing chain cover gasket also the chain was a little streched so I figured I mite as well put a new chain in anyway

[gadget73]

It had slack, not huge amounts, but over spec. Silly to not replace it while the timing cover is off, they're so cheap its worth it.

[Lincolnmania]

yes silly not to replace the timing chain and gears while the timing cover was off......the double roller set from advance was like 24 bucks..

[Grand Marquis GT]

Did you advance the cam, by chance?

[Lincolnmania]

i havent advanced the cam on a lopo yet

[mrltd]

NIce beer holder....about all those things are good for...

[gadget73]

I dont know if advancing the cam on a lopo would do anything useful. It moves the power band downward, and its already at a fairly low RPM. I'd imagine it would just make it run out of breath even faster.

[PatFromJersey]

Nice work there Scott. :cool: Man, I can't believe how nice PA is. Must be nice to have so much open air around your place. When I win the lottery, I'm going to have alot of open space around my place. :2up:

[interceptor1985]

I saw that too damn your lucky! I cant find ANY PLACE for my car's right this moment I have four right out side and I just know I am going to catch hell for it....I Hate this place you guy's have NO idea......

[Blaze86Vic]

I dont know if advancing the cam on a lopo would do anything useful. It moves the power band downward, and its already at a fairly low RPM. I'd imagine it would just make it run out of breath even faster.

Advancing the cam increases top end HP.

[gadget73]

No it doesn't.

[Mercmarquis]

Advancing the cam increases top end HP.


You're thinkin of retarding it.

[mrltd]

Advancing and retarding does not increase HP. It moves the power around the RPM range. I would leave the lopo alone.
