Re: 4g54 Weber 38/38 jetting
50 idle jets will be too lean on a 2.6. I use 50 idles on a 4g32 with a 38/38. The key to getting good performance AND economy out of a weber is to set up the low speed circuit correctly.

Re: LB Lancer starter

Unfortunately the diesel head will not work on the 4g54 petrol engine. One reason is that a diesel engine runs a very high static compression ratio, and the cylinder head does not have a combustion chamber in it, the face of the head is flat and the valves are vertical. The combustion chamber is a s...

Re: saturn motor, how strong
Hi, back in the mid/late '70s I served my apprenticeship at a (then) Chrysler dealership and the saturn motors were regarded by most as the most reliable 4 cyl around. We certainly saw many with big mileages over the years and they never needed anything but normal servicing. Later carbs with the wax...
