    ARP studs, can't tighten the nut.

    Tried that, it's not the cam that's in the way, its actually part of the head. I'll try a deep socket thanx, but I think IJ is right, its a 12 point socket.

    ARP studs, can't tighten the nut.

    Ok, so I got ARP studs for my 89 turbo supra, and I can't get my tools in to tighten the nuts once they are on the studs in the head. The slot they go in to is too small for me to get any of my tools in to tighten the nuts. Anybody have any suggestions on what type/brand of tools they used to...

    perma-cool fan kit

    haha.... thats just silly. Did you turn the knob the right way? My friend made the mistake. When we installed it, he did that, we waited like 20 mins and they still hadn't turned on, I turned it the other way and they came on.

    perma-cool fan kit

    Do you have the little box that you can turn the knob to make the fans go on at the temperature you want?

    perma-cool fan kit

    I disagree.. I'm 100% happy with my FAL fans. I've got dual 220's. They were easy to intstall, and wire. And they turn on exactly when I want them too. The only time I've over-heated was when I blew my HG. Electric fans are awesome! and you don't have anoyying whoosh everytime you rev the engine.

    hmm its smoking a bit from engine bay...

    I have that problem too I think. Its just a little puff of smoke sometimes right? In my case it IS oil leaking from the valve cover gaskets onto the exhaust manifold. I'm thinking a new valve cover gasket will fix the problem.

    getting the most outta what I got

    Turbo'd cars already make a lot of back pressure on stock pipes; turning up the boost will only create more back pressure and very little HP gains
