+After cleaning this you should notice an improvement in cooling. This is a classic example of debris getting sucked up between the AC condenser and the front of the cooling radiator.

Do you ever find any coolant drips on the ground? Take a flashlight and check around all connections. Using sheet of toilet paper can be useful in hard to get to places like the back of the head to heater valve. I had a drip coming from the idle air valve coolant pass through. Luckily I had a...

Also check the drive shaft U joints. Online manual reference.

Describe the situations of the clunk. Sounds can come from many sources. I thought I had a bad wheel bearing, which turned out to be the spherical bushing in the rear knuckle. I replaced both sides. Sometimes ring gear backlash can make a sound.

I answered this question on the Supra forums as well. The 2 wiring harness ground bundles go on the right. Clean them up with a bit of fine sandpaper first. Rotate the fuel line support bracket and bolt it to the left. You can see the outline of it where it has been since the car was made.

The weird sounds to the far right could be something rubbing against the blower squirrel cage. I've only had problems with the heater valve vacuum actuator in the past. You can check its function by looking before and after turning it on that the shaft moves up and you feel heat. The valve...

Giving the fan blade a quick push clockwise, it shouldn't turn more than 1/3 turn. When a fan clutch goes bad, it starts slinging tiny drops of oil that end up on other belts. Things that can affect your cooling include the thermostat, radiator cap, and fan belt tension. Take a peek between...

That sounds reasonable. Others have glued on thin strips of wood for reinforcement. Here's an example of that on the Supra Forum. Click here to go there.

Here's an approach that allows you to maximize the shins you have. Measure the thickness of all the shims and record it. Put sharpie identifiers on them like I1....I12 and E1...E12 to identify where they are now. Measure the valve lash by the book method with the cams in the positions shown...

You can pick up a soldering kit at Harbor Freight.

You have to wonder why this happened in the first place. Is it a rubbing contact? I would just carefully solder it after cleaning it with a brush or razor blade. Don't apply too much heat, or it could melt.

The mesh screen is in the reservoir near the bottom. If you take the reservoir off you can back flush it manually. Check the belt tension and for liquid contaminating it causing slippage (Squealing). The idle air valve is activated when turning the steering wheel at idle. It allows a little...

It shows as discontinued in the states. You may find one in Europe as it fits a number of vehicles. See the fitment below. eBay is also a place to look.

The only thing that comes to mind is a collapsed hose or debris plugging up the flow of fluid. That's why I suggested a flush with new. If the hoses are old it might be time to replace them. Take a turkey baster and draw up fluid from the reservoir to see if there are bits and pieces of rubber...
