Re: Can I swap a sl1 engine into a sl2 car?

The sure thing would be to swap the good transmission, engine, and PCM into the car with the blown engine.

Re: 97 SL 1 Compressor Leaks

Clean off the dye with acetone, recharge the system, maybe add a little more dye, and let it leak again.

Re: 97 SL 1 Compressor Leaks

Leaky GM compressors are a thing.

Re: 97 SL 1 Compressor Leaks

Great pics. When I fixed my 2000 Buick Century AC, I pulled a compressor from a junkyard car that had pressure in the system. When I fix my '98 SC2 I'll do the same. It's an option.

Re: Sudden onset of engine clacking/knocking noise while driving uphill

With a bad lifter you could have pounded the valve and compromised the valve guide. Maybe the valve also. Have you been able to do a compression test?

Re: Engine rebuild and trans kits

I went to the machine shop and they bought the kit for me. $1400 for parts + machining in 2017 dollars.

Did you seat the thrust bearing?

Re: Sudden onset of engine clacking/knocking noise while driving uphill

... which brings us to a good test. Rev it with the clutch pushed in. That pushes the crank against the thrust bearing.

Re: Sudden onset of engine clacking/knocking noise while driving uphill

Look for funny wear on the cams. If that whacking is from a collapsed lifter it could leave a witness mark.

Re: Sudden onset of engine clacking/knocking noise while driving uphill

I think it's possible. Maybe there is a metronome app or something, you can set it to one beat per rev at 900 RPM and then one beat every other at 900 RPM. Listen and compare. That is a low tech...

Re: Sudden onset of engine clacking/knocking noise while driving uphill

Hard to diagnose via YouTube. Any chance a lifter is bad? Is the noise once per rev or every other?

Re: Weird Idling Issues, Worsening Over Time

I replaced my TPS on Saturday on the '98. Two drives so far and there is a huge difference. Engine runs a lot smoother and no more random 1700 RPM idle. The most alarming thing it used to do was...

Re: Seeking a transmission recommendation.

What I like about the larger pin in the Hunt4Steve procedure is that it is snug both in the differential housing and in the shaft for the spider gears. Stock, I think it was loose in one or the...

Re: A/C Refrigerent Line Pressure Switch

I'd probably do the unthinkable. It it's leaking anyway, just let it finish.
