    Question Idle?

    hey Fellaz.. i recently got my engine fixed, reconditioned head, valves, rod bearings changed, gasket etc and also my fuel injection. Apparently my idle was too high and thats why my car ate up so much petrol the thing is what would the normal idle be like in the automatic? coz i think im gettin to much vibration or something like dat. Would anyone be able to tell me whats up? or if its normal.

    Thanx

    No to replacing the pistons with the main bearings, but you should go ahead and do it anyway, seeing as how you have the opportunity to since you're rebuilding everything else. Just do it while it's already out and being worked on.
