set saved. shall do.

 

Can u save me a set too please???

 

lol firesale....pcv's comin' uuupppp!

 

Powell is coming out with a modded pcv kit?? Is it listed anywhere for more details? If so, how the **** do I miss this stuff?? Lol

 

I am installing the first couple now, and when i get more parts ( the actual catch can with check valve and screens) they will be generally available... it is a matter of a week or so....

 

Any idea on price if you don't mind me asking in here? I'm very interested in picking one up.

 

John,

when will your online store be up and running?

 

Sorry for the double post.

do we have a list of oem parts that have been upgraded/ superceded?

besides the actuators, i think there were some seals changed but cannot remember which ones?

is there anything else? we need to post it up and have it stickied for the hypochondriacs(cars, not health, i know) like me.

 

There have been seals, gaskets, sensors, solenoids, etc. that have changed part numbers over time, but I don't think those are listed anywhere except when the part itself is being discussed.

 

it is, but if you mean ecommerce, click and buy no calls required, the answer is "I dont know", I am sure I dont want to deal with that part, but its up to GLoria to decide, she and B.Rad are working on it...

as far as updated parts or superceded parts are concerned, that happens automatically at the dealer , its probably less work for folks here to talk to Tom@crateenginedepot.com he is on top of that all the time....

 

Haha, "How the **** do I miss this Stuff" Lol. Thats Effen Hilarious, Only John would say something like that, Ha

 

Back in the day, Tom@CED told me with parts books, superceded parts were easy to track. Now with computer listed parts, old numbers get dropped into nothingness. I had some Saab/GM head gaskets for LSJ, genuine parts, stamped with a saab/gm part number, but the part number would not and did not show up. It was a good part just no longer serviced under that number.

so hard to do what you suggest without a crap load of work, that no one in their right mind would do...

and besides, a new part number does not always mean a better part. fyi...

 

i am trying to get my dealer to replace these solenoids under my 60k mile powertrain, but it doesnt look positive. Same thing with my timing chain tensioner 2.

 

i just ordered these, along with the purge and vent solenoids too

 

sorry to revive this thread, but i cant figure out if this is the problem i am having. very occasionally will i have noise at start up, but more concerning to me, is if i am around 3-4k rpm and i go wot, it stumbles, loses rpms slightly, then goes. if its these solenoids going bad, then great, easy fix. if not, anyone have any light to shed on it?

 

when the acutators wont park the vvt cams, it sets a light and then goes limp home. Not your problem, unless you got the actuator code.

 

no codes, just a weird hesitation when going from cruising to wot around 3-4k... ad n its not lag haha, the car starts to pull, then hesitstes and the rpms drop slightly, then it goes again. it is weird. the guy in my area who is an ecotec expert ( gone_in_10_sec ) said maybe the cam phasers, but i figured id post here too and get soem feedback.

 

I am having problems trying to find these part numbers 12646784 and12646783 have they been changed? I also did an ohms reading on the one acting up and got a huge fluctation 60kohms to 200k ohms the exhuast one was 11.8ohms

 

Go to rock auto and search the variable valve timing sensors.

 

Updated numbers.

VALVE ASM-CM/SHF POSN ACTR INT SOL 12628347 12646783 12655420

VALVE, CM/SHF POSN ACTR EXH SOL 12628348 12646784 12655421

 

Rock auto has them about $10 cheaper

 

Personally, I'd rather support good vendors on here.

 

X2. I bought mine from Tom.

 

Meh, im like the government. Everything to the lowest bidder.

 

Well, when you have problems with your ABS and nobody can help can you call (lowest bidder)? You can call Tom. I did. Got an hour of his time. Didn't charge me for it.

If (not gonna name names) screws the pooch on your order for new discs, it's Monday, and you have a race Friday can you call (lowest bidder)? You can call Tom. I did.

He's bailed my ass out more than just the twice I've referenced. Saved me more than 10 bucks in the long run. Lowest bidder is a great idea, right up until it actually costs you more in the end. That's my advice, and I won't even charge you for it.
