Hi. welcome to the forum. If you have misfires and timing codes occurring together, I would think it's not the sensor, but a timing issue that also causes misfire. (Unless they are not related). When...

For sure, that would be an absolute disaster.



Yeah, most parts show really low wear representing the low mileage, while others are kind of puzzling and I just don't get it. Look at the main...

I see. How are going to handle the chain sprocket difference? You'll change out the IMS as well?

The difference between the 2.5 and the 2.7 is the stroke, while the bore size is the same. So the cranks should be different, probably the bearings as well. I'll be splitting the crankcase carrier of...

True. A little oil leak won't affect functionality. Also, one bank is still totally fine. Not too bad for a 22 year old car. ;) Downsizing engines to 3 cylinders is kind of popular nowadays anyway....
