Re: Getting the Laser ready for AutoX

My bet is a spring broke out of the disc and is wedged on a PP fin.

Thats the exact thing that happened to me about 2 years ago or so. It was then that I decided to have Mr. Vogel rebuild my engine.

I'm trying to look at this as a positive thing. I can now take the time to pull the pan off, the vc off, and many other things to fix the many oil leaks. Do a compression test, etc.

Last time I did a compression test I don't think any of the cylinders were over 130.

Sounds like this is probably your issue.

Re: Getting the Laser ready for AutoX

Since I'm more than likely going to need a clutch, I'm stuck between two transmissions. I have a nt tranny with shorter gear ratios and a turbo tranny with longer ones. I have heard the nt transmission is a bit weaker, but the idea of shorter gears makes me lean that way. Thing is, depending on which tranny I use, I'll need a different clutch for each. The bellhousing on the nt is smaller, therefor needing a smaller clutch.
