Ok, well i dont post here much just lerk around
but i have just recently finished my first SR build,
and i am pretty happy with the results, engine runs and drives good
but like always i am having some problems all around...
i just want some help to finish my car so it's 100%

ok first of all i have this weird tick from the head...
its been there before i opened the engine , its just louder now.
im thinking AIR in the HLA's??

secondly, when i turn the engine off , the engine vibrates a little
and i hear this slap , like someone getting slapped in the face...timing chain slap?

then at startup , right when i start it up, it will die almost immediately
ill start it back up , rev it high and it will idle fine. (no idea, ive cleaned the IACV)

and the biggest problem , at around cruising speed (45-60mph) i have this
horrible horrible shaking , like an earthquake inside the car...
its so bad, im going to replace my tires first then get all of my wheel studs..
but what else could this be?

then i have an oil leak...ill find puddles of oil everywhere i park, i buy
a quart of oil everytime i go out...its bad...probably lower oil pan but
i found it dripping from where the tranny meets the block.

lastly , i have problems with starter or something because sometimes it will not start
and i will be stranded and call my friend...i just had my optima redtop replaced because
i thought that it was a bad battery...im getting a starter from a local japanese
engine supplier for 100 bux.

well thats all whats wrong with my car, it would be great if people could help me out
reps will be given for what mines are worth...

bad rear main seal or front seal from crankshaft pulley would be possible cause of leak, and/or the oil pump seal. On the KA, the oil pump access is near lower timing chain. Sorry, im not an SR guy and cannot help further.
