Re: Great Wall V240 4wd bellhousing info

i wouldnt bother with the 4g69mivec the heads are soft and there isnt enough area between cylenders so they do headgaskets when given a hard time. not an impressivly powerful engine anyway for its size.

Re: hellllpp 4age

did u put the buckets and shims in the same spot they came out of? i'd say its a cam timing issue but the shims are all sized to set the valve clearances so they may be riding. double check cam timing first though.

Re: Extractors- Pacemaker vs others

pacies are mandrell bent with pipe over cone collectors the steel is better they fit properly the design works and most off the ebay ones are chinese crap.extractors help scavenge better which increases the engines ability to make power and decreaces back pressure.

Re: 4G54 into GB

the gn box shifter hits the handbrake when its up but not when down. sway bar hits sump. can either move forward or lower it. my biggest prob is the radiator. stock outlet is at dizzy.needs to be wider than stock radiator. depending on motor oil cap may hit brace on b onnet.

Re: galant front kit. wat do u think?

you will probably need to flare your wheel arches to fit the 7's under it i have 13by 7's on my gband they were out the guards about 20mm and the rears will hit the shocks if you put lowering blocks in it. i moved the mount to the top of the saddle to clear mine but i have 2.5 in blocks in rear.
