For a reason I am unsure of, my car has very low oil pressure once the engine is warm. After a cold start the pressure is normal, but once it warms up, it drops down to the lowest notch on the oil pressure gauge and just rises a little bit once I reach the 3k rpm mark. What would be causing...

While having my car on and it idling, I noticed a hissing that sounds like it is coming from the rear of the engine. I don't think it is normal, maybe a possible heater hose leak?

After replacing a BHG, I reassembled everything. After running the car for a little bit (3-5 minutes), it would start leaking oil at the front of the engine where the head meets the block. After reading on it, I figured out that I didn't put sealant at those two spots right under the HG like it...

I just finished replacing the HG on my '91 n/a, I had a valve job done on the head along with it resurfaced and ready to be installed. I then started the car and after a few cranks it turned over. It idled rough and would die unless I didnt hold the gas pedal down a little bit. White smoke then...

Thinking about swapping. I was wondering which one would be less frustrating to do, the 1jzgte or 7mgte? I have a '91 n/a. Which would be the best choice in swapping?

I am thinking about going turbo, and I wanted yalls opinion. Either a 7mgte or a 1jzgte, which would be a quicker swap and will give me less headaches?

I took my car over to a mechanic friend of mine so he could look it over and double check everything since this is my first BHG job. After replacing the HG and putting everything back together, the 1st and 5th cylinders are getting very low compression and won't allow the car to turn over. I...

While trying to start my car up, after a couple of times of it trying to turn over, it puffed white smoke out of the intake at the throttle body. What does this mean?

After recharging the battery, I tried starting the car, then after a few times of it trying to turn over, a big ball of white smoke came out of the intake. My timing on the distributor maybe off even though the timing was right prior to the attempt. Any ideas...?

I have misplaced one of the bolts for my water inlet housing on my n/a. It is from the left side of the housing. I was curious to see if anyone knew the size and everything of that bolt. Coolant is leaking out without that bolt. Thanks!

I am sure it has been done before, but what is everyones opinion on TT mkIV front brake calipers on an mkIII?

I installed my engine after doing some things to it and now I need some help with the wiring on the drivers side of the engine. I have a few loose wires and I can't find where they go.

I pulled my n/a engine out of my mkIII, the head was off at the time and was really easy to pull out. I put the head back on along with some new parts while the engine was out and it has been a pain putting the engine back in. So if anyone has any tips on getting that freakin thing in, let me...

I have brand new sensa track shocks on my mkIII, what springs are best when combined with those? Or would it be better if I bought new springs and shocks?

Just curious how tight the oil pan bolts on my n/a should be.

How often is the block affected by a BHG? I removed my engine after a BHG and I was told that it had been rebuilt around 60k miles ago. After taking some stuff apart I noticed how great of condition everything still was. But since the head gasket blew and ruined the head, is there any chance the...

BHG, ruined the head and in need of an engine asap. Im just looking for anyone that may have on in the dallas or fortworth area. I found one in fortworth at a salvage junkyard that a mechanic friend of mine told me about, however the miles on the engine are unsure but it does start up and run...
