Well we have had no luck so far. We have not been able to find an adapter for the mechanical pressure guage for my car. The threads that are on it are standard and the threads in the engin are metric and everyone i ask says "Yeah, I know exactly what your talking about, but we don't sell them anymore. Try Napa".

We use Mobile 1 Delvac synthetic, i don't know the weight of that, but its good crap.

When i changed the CT I just un bolted it and put the new on on. The head of it sticks out the side of the engine right under the alternator, so i did not change the chain or the guides.

Assuming i am getting pressure, which we are fairly sure i am, it must be an electrical problem. I have had a bad ground for a while now, as sometimes the left blinker would blink fast for no apparent reason (both front and back would blink). Also the guy who owned the car before me had a mangled audio system in the car that we deemed a fire hazard and took it out, but we haven't been able to get all of his wiring out so maybe there is a short somewhere in there...
