    That is exactly what I was thinking.

    Re-using an un-used headgasket

    I had my head off my car for a while, and today I finally sprayed a new Toyota headgasket with some copper gasket sealer, put it in, and tightened down my ARP's. However, I forgot to install the coolant hardlines that begin near the starter, go around the back of the engine and across the...

    1989 Car Code 33

    Same thing happened when I blew my IC hose. The code has to do with the turbocharger pressure. Fix your IC pipes, and it will go away.

    One More Thing On Starter

    Yes, there are two bolts with nuts on the other end. They are on a bit of a diagonal from each other, but one is definately on the top and one on the bottom. With some skillful wrist and arm bending, you should eventually be able to get the upper one from the top, and then I would attack the...

    Oil Pressure Sensor

    Does anyone know where the other end of the wire connects to? I recently installed a new oil pressure sending unit on the block, but my gauge still doesn't work. I assume it's faulty wiring, but I can't follow the wire far enough to see if it goes to the ECU or directly to the gauge cluster.

    I'd love to cruise around with you guys, but my car is garaged and on jack stands right now. I still have quite a bit of work to do before I can start putting the engine back together.

    Broken VSV still use-able?

    During the short time the valve is active, is it open or closed? If I chose to bypass it, would it be better to run a straight vacuum hose in its place or to cap off both of the ends it would otherwise connect to?

    My coolant system froze

    I'm finally going to get some time to work on the car soon. I already ran the engine after adding a gallon of anti-freeze, once the weather got up to about 50 degrees. Is there anything else I should do before I start pulling parts off?

    My coolant system froze

    Well, I was planning on pulling off the head anyways, so I will be tearing out most of the engine bay except the block. How will I be able to tell where it froze if it is not dripping coolant?

    My coolant system froze

    I recently replaced some parts that required me to drain my coolant/water mixture. When I went to refill the radiator, I realized I didn't have enough coolant to mix the proportions correctly. I filled up most of the system with distilled water and then forgot to add more coolant. Well, last...

    Fan always on

    Just barely, almost not at all. How much is it supposed to turn?

    Fan always on

    Now that it is getting cold again, I have confirmed that there is something wrong with the stock cooling fan on my '89 Turbo. The fan no longer turns off when it is not needed. The other day it was about 45 degrees outside, and the fan stayed on from start-up until I shut the engine off about...
