Holes have to be welded closed. That requires paint. I suspect there is a source for new rubber but don't know where

They are riveted on. there will be 4 or 5 rivets in each piece under the rubber

Yes, do save the tip. They are NLA

I think that's not recoverable

You could always take the door to the paint shop. Have them scan it and see which formulation the scan is closer to

I would go with Bumper Automobile I believe

Slow poke! Its 5 o'clock somewhere! 😉

Been there; done that! 😞

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

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

@Captain Obvious

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

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)?

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

You need to put that next inspection on your calendar 1/1/2099!

There is an online retailer Theujoint store Email them and see if they can cross reference them
