    Cerium oxide is the traditional method but I routinely polish glass for Cody's car with paint cutting and polishing compounds. Works good, but wont remove the really deep scratches

    Why did you need to switch tanks for the LS swap? Thats an EFI tank. Are the lines not large enough?

    If I were gonna try this, I would scrape a small area with a razor blade and then polish the glass with something like meguiars mirror glaze on an electric buffer

    Five years thats SOP. It takes that long to come to the top of the "todo" list
  5. I knew it would be a trek for CO but I was hoping he knew somebody closer to the car since he was semi local

    I agree, that sounds like a clearance noise. Start with valve lash first Then record again

    There have been cases of pickup tubes being bad and causing issues at less than full levels

    That was probably a pretty car in the original paint color
  10. Didn't we have a topic a couple of years ago of somebody wanting to repop these?

    The stock EFI doesn't like performance camshafts Also I doubt your camshaft is the main problem...

    So I did some measuring Current gear offset is .112 (2.84mm) With the case on and the shaft down as far as it will go the projection into the bellhousing is .110 (2.79mm) With it pulled forward for the snap ring the projection is .195 (4.95mm) The difference is .085 (2.16mm) so the gear offset appears to be .027 (0.69mm)?
  13. I am not the resident efi expert but I'm sure one will chime in. You seem to have hot a lot of the trouble areas already. If it were me I would rig up a fuel pressure gauge I could see from the drivers seat. I suspect your pressure is dropping off. If the pressure holds I would pull the injectors and do a flow test into cups

    Be careful running your starter that long! You can burn it up

    At least on my car, they need to clamp pretty hard to hold the panel in
  16. You need to put that next inspection on your calendar 1/1/2099!

    Your old schumacher is very similar to my old one except I had an auto switch down on the left

    I'm afraid your right. I may have to go shopping for a vintage unit. I wonder if my old unit can be repaired?
  20. Sold $545k
  21. Thats a nice pan!

    I think the reproductions are stainless and very stiff. Would be hard to diy

    I think a lot of people feel this way. Vintage Schumacher's sell on ebay for as much or more than the new ones

    That's my concern about buying a roll around machine. I'm up for a couple of hundred bucks if it's gonna last but I don't like experimenting. Many of these machines only have a one year warranty. If it's a good machine you aught to be able to warranty it longer than that!
