Plz Help:improving performance on a 1.3 hcs flight 1991

Postby morpheus on Mon May 17, 2004 3:38 pm

Plz Help, Im fairly new to car modding/mainenance...
So far I have done a good clean out under the rocker box cover, cleaning out all the sludge hard oil deposits.
Cleaned the oil breather filter, and connecting pipes.
Removed the air feed duct that draws air from either the environment or the manufold, because valve did not work.

I know u'll all say buy a bigger engine, but I realy dont have the money, or insurance budget..
Please please help me, is there any way I can improving performance on a 1.3 hcs flight 1991 without spending too much??
