I modified the 2.3 with the 2.5 crank/rods/pistons! SO it was a USA 2.5L 16V.

The engine made 200+ HP on dyno. NOW lives in VA beach.


To see if the leveling system is HOLDING the car level instead of the springs you must disconnect the leveling system ROD from the valve & lower the lever on the leveling valve to bleed fluid pressure from the system (car running). BE careful that the car doesn't crush YOU if it lowers that much.
