Re: 91 Camaro 3.1 v6 NEED HELP

cool video man, yea deff get rid of that box if you wanna go faster. i also took some weight off. my airbag got deployed so it was of no use so i took out the thing in thte middle of the steering wheel. i **** you not it weight prolly 20 pounds lol i also took out the windsheild washer resivor cuz it didnt spray and it was full of bug fluid so thats 10 pounds or so, and replacing the stock muffeler and duel out system for the single glasspask out the side took off a good chunk of weight. did you say it was pulling to the right when you where breaking? i would say that is your passenger side front break is catching more than the driver side. just get some new pads and that should help. my wheel has a min of its own sence i took a few parts out when i pulled the igniton tumbeler. so ill be driving straight one min with a nomral wheel then the wheel will be upside down haha...idk..you will have to take a video with better sound so that i can hear your motor and such while you driving.

Re: 91 Camaro 3.1 v6 NEED HELP

for sure man, i was driving and all you hear is the engine sounding like it had a bad head gasket but it was not that, it was just low on oil. i then put oil in it and whala, it was gone and the oil was back up to 80, instead of the 20

Re: 91 Camaro 3.1 v6 NEED HELP

Keep a eye one that oil pressure, while crusing it should never go below 40 or so Psi, and it will go up to 60-80 at wide open throttle.

Thats alot of oil to loose. How much did you put back in it to get the dip stick to be right??

Sorry bro for jacking your thread....

Re: 91 Camaro 3.1 v6 NEED HELP

Yea thats normal bro, the pressure will definitly go up as the rpms do. 30-60Psi is the normal range(IIRC) for these V6's.

Mines arround 30-40Psi at idle and closer to 80Psi when im wide open throttle.

Whats up with more videos...lol.. love seeing V6's in action!

Re: 91 Camaro 3.1 v6 NEED HELP

Pop the clutch and get the tires going and immediatly push the brake if you wana sit in place doing a bunout.

About the oil....just keep a eye on the level! 20Psi of oil pressure while driving is def. not good. Try to find the leak, shouldnt be too hard with that amount of oil loss.

Awesome man, oh BTW i tried some of that seafoam, and it works pretty damn good, cant wait till tommorow. oh and as for the rear main seal, ima change it this coming week (summer break) and instead of using 450$ ima use 20 for the seal itself. and after that, ima take off the top of my engine and polish my heads like Fast did,

I cant say for sure the gain on the porting of the heads by itself, But I ported my heads and added a mild cam and im sure I gained 15-20Hp. Thats a crap load when you only have 140Hp stock. When I did the cam and head work, I spent about 250 Bucks in all the gaskets springs, cams. So thats pretty cheep in my mind.

DONT put gear oil in your tranny!! You put tranny fluid(oil) in there. Its RED. The 83-87 T5's "recommend" gear oil for fluid, while the 88-92 T5's "recommend" ATF (automatic tranny fluid) I would think ATF in all t-5 trannys personally.

The only place youll be putting gear oil is in the rear end. Which I used 80W gear oil when I changed my oil last year. Non-synthetic stuff.

Check the tranny oil level?
Does your clutch slip/stink when you go wide open throttle?
Is any motor oil leaking into the clutch area??

Syncro might be a little outa wack. I blew alot of "doggy gears" in a past mustang. Im no genious at manuals. My brother was the person who constantly fixed my 3rd gear in my mustang i use to have since I blew that gear out every few months. He lives in florida though.

Re: 91 Camaro 3.1 v6 NEED HELP

right hand side of tranny, top plug remove and insert your first joint of your finger. if you have oil on the tip of finger it is okay. and do not remove the plug on the left side at the top or you will have to remove tranny and have it fixed.

And make sure you check it on the passenger side, not the drivers' side; the plugs on the driver side aren't for filling or checking

Sorry I cant really help much, im no good at auto/or manual tranny troubleshooting..

Re: 91 Camaro 3.1 v6 NEED HELP

You might need to reaim your headlights.

If you pull up next to a wall or garage at night youll see if they are both aimed the same. If not there are screws that you can adjust to make the lights either aimed up or down.

Re: 91 Camaro 3.1 v6 NEED HELP

Check the wiring? Mabey a bad connection at either the plug on the back of the light itself or somewhere else.
