I agree.

Is there a reason you wouldn't run less than 91 in a fuel injected vehicle? And some of us are pretty strapped for cash and don't spend moeny on higher octane when its not needed.

Yeah, I just filled up with low octane, but I might fill up with the high octane next time (until I can get to my timing light).

Well then I might back my timing down to 10 degrees because I don't have the money to be putting in 93 octane, lol.

I'm running just regular gas right now and it seems to be running alright. Thanks for the replies.

That's what I set mine at, seems to be running good. Just wondering what others are running.

Thanks for the solution, but if anyone has ways to get them out, I would rather do that then make more problems for myself later.

Ok, so to continue with this problem.... I cannot get two of the plugs out, one came out, but the other two wont budge... I have been going at it with PB blaster and a breaker bar with a jack handle on the end. After that didn't work and threatened to strip the hex holes in the plugs, I...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone else has had the problem of the 3 plugs in the head between the spark plugs leaking coolant. Here is a link to a write-up on the problem. http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/TechTips/head_coolant_leak.aspx If you have had this problem and used an approach...

I have the red plugs in, well they are out now because of trying to find whats leaking. Poodles, when you say the hose at the back, do you mean just the hose, or the thing that it plugs into that screws into the head? I guess I will check both the 3 plugs that have coolant under them and that...
