MY FIRST RX7 (S4 NA) 13B engine, SCARRY knocking ONLY when turning RIGHT??
Hello to all! Im a new member as well as a new owner of an 1988 stock RX-7 with the exception of the rediculous lowering job and 16" Rims, I think the shocks are custom too... Oh and some a$$ hole converted it from dual exhaust to single (WhY? and how does that affect a stock motor?)
My first question for all of you IS.. Get ready..
When the car is in motion (this dosent happen while idleing still and turning the steering wheel), there is a light to hard knock when turning the steering wheel right, (NOTE it does not happen at all when turning left!?) The knock is relational to the speed i am traveling, and it becomes louder and harder the more I turn the steering right. It drifts to the right a bit and wanders a bit also. This is felt on the front end at the right tire. It is present at 5mph+ and is VERY SCARY at 70+ FWY speeds. I dont wanna driver her till she is better.
Second and third questions:
1: My oil pressure guage moves... but is always at 0 and never above 30psi...
How do I check if this is correct & go about preventing this disaster from happening?? It seems like a total *itch to service.. I just bought a second guage cluster and will be figureing out how to install it. And will be swapping out the sending unit to see if that corrects it. My car has a different guage cluster in it.. And incorrect mileage on the ODO, 164K vs the DMV 169K.
2: My transmission seems to make alot of noise while the clutch is pressed in... When its released it stops (raspy rotating noise) Both 1st and 2nd gear (manual trans) make some noise however they dont grind shifting is pretty smooth.
I cleaned just about every connector I could find, reattached a injector connector... and got past 3500RPM (Whoohooo0!) My temp stays at 1/3 on the scale. SO Please help someone, I JUST got this car and am very eager to drive her hard. I just felt the push from a rotary & 6000RPM for the first time in my life. And in my opinion NO PISTON ENGINE COMPARES! I can only imagine a turboed 20B motor...
Thank you all for reading and HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
