TGPilot Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I had gone through a lower mount per year for a while before I got my new rack and pinion. What does a rack and pinion have anything to do with how often motor mounts are worn out? :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prospeeder Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/Prospeeder/DSCF0943.jpg See, THis is Kuntzie's TSTE, the oil return line is pointed in Green, and the Plug is pointed in Blue, My OIl return line is freaking RIGHT Up against that plug for some reason, like right up, pushing the plug out of its socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idbeast Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 I think your oil return line to the oil pan is bent up and in... Notice in these two pictures that even though the DIS is not installed, pay particular attn to the oil return line location. http://www.turbograndprix.com/infopics/nodis2.jpg http://www.turbograndprix.com/infopics/neweng.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospeeder Posted December 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Yea it does! it bends down and out of site like that, but its almost like it bends at a sharper angle, almost like a 90* angle, ill have to double check tomarrow, but in http://www.turbograndprix.com/infopics/nodis2.jpg you can see the DIS plug right there, it plugs in, but think of the oil return hard line is further back and more of an angle, and its right were the DIS would plug in, and pushes it out http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v210/Prospeeder/1113.jpg thats basicly where mine is, see how the plug and the side of the line hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TurboSedan Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 take the pipe off first and then carefully bend it. it's just two 10mm nuts and it will come off the oil pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
