As for the M90 conversion kit to come out for my L36 GT, I want to make sure my engine is ready for it.
Does anybody have some advice on making sure everything's good to go?
miles=79,000 (primarily hwy)
oil changes=frequent
no problems currently
note that the kit comes with belts/plugs
thanks fellas,
bill

Scan for the ol' Knock Retard. With what? I need to know myself. Hopefully something dependable yet reasonably priced.

compression test is on the to-do list.
some of you may remember about my KR problem. i've been using my Aeroforce tech scangauge to look at that. at WOT, i get readings of sometimes 0, sometimes 1-2ish, and half the time 4-5ish. i believe it is due to the intense PCM. i reset the computer yesterday so i'll be checking out the ol' KR in a few days again.
one good thing, with the M90 kit, you can't use the intense, so ill have to get rid of it!
anything else?
oh yeah can anyone give some advice on doing the compression test? i have not done one yet.

Please test with 87 octane as this is what the car can use now with the old computer. Then try with the high, which it don't need but it will provide some good data.
