    All 7M-GTE coolant hoses

    The samco lower hose does not fit, you will have to add an extension piece, if ur on get it wont be as large of a part as if you are running gte. Also as for the braided hoses you are usually cheeper with braided hoses than parts from toyota.

    racing an s10

    Keep it to the track or sell your car and get a geo metro, because most of us dont want to hear another, I lost control of my supra and wrecked it. Or just keep it to the track. But a ge vs a 350 better hope he has a stick and cant shift for s**t.

    7m consuming oil. no idea why

    You are overlooking the fact that a leakdown test does not test valve seals, when the test is done the valves are closed so no air should get past the valve. I say should because closed valves wont pass air unless its there bent. So really you have not tested the valve seals yet. This does...

    knock sensors

    You can run it without the knock sensor, most of the time people do before they rewire them. Its just gonna make you run rich.

    All 7M-GTE coolant hoses

    I am eventually gonna get the sizes and lengths of all the hoses when I convert all of mine over to earls braided stainless. Its expensive for them but probably cheaper than dealer. Most will be just a straight forward size requirement, but some will need some dual barb fittings. But to me I...

    Well after the bov somehow got rid of the white smoke I do have a little blue smoke, well its a good bit on normal standards but a very small amount compared to what I had of the white smoke ( I still for the life of me cant figure out why the bov could or would create so much smoke). Anyways...

    Any good advice on A/C testing? 87 7mge

    ^ Hehe agreed, back to the shop. But as jetjock said the suction line is the line coming out of the firewall going back to compressor. It should be cold and covered in water when ac is running. If it is not then you need to find out what is wrong with the system, if its cold then its a blend...

    Silicon Radiator Hose Options - whats best?

    Both engine side and radiator side are snug, not too bad to get on but taking them off is a little tight, have to use my radiator hose hook to remove the hoses. Well dont have to but it helps a lot, a screwdriver will work too. Its just they are "sticky" if you will and dont slide very easy...

So the long story short, after installing the bov there is very little smoke from the car, what is there now is blue so I guess there is still some oil getting by somewhere, gonna do a leakdown test soon. But I really dont get how the...

    Coolant system question?

    Bad radiator caps cause all sorts of problems and mis diagnostics. What can happen especially with running high water to coolant ratios (as I always do), is the water will boil faster. The cap is supposed to hold pressure in the system which will keep the water from boiling. If the cap...
