    rich or lean?

    oem rich is right... when i drove my 89 7mgte jdm 3.0L home my fiance said she could smell fuel bad. only way to adjust AFR is with a WB and an fuel pressure regulator right? may be the best way to tune the AFR. always wanna run a lil rich on a fresh motor until you can tune it.

    Over Heating But NOT?

    doesnt make since though... if you have a short to ground at cluster or wiring, the gauge should go above red when you turn the key over. may just be a bad sensor, but 1stcar said they tried everything.

    Starter problem

    Yeah, just need to make 'cleaning the terminals' part of your oil change routine, because the corrosion can actually start going down the wire inside the insulation and cause a high resistance which will give you the same problem. Later!

    BHG?? coolant under oil cap..

    Yeah, it would be best to do is ASAP. I've heard that the Glychol (Green Anti-freeze) and Motor oil, when mix actually create a weak acid that eats at soft metals like the cylinder head. Just thought you should know. :icon_bigg

    Help! Machining block/head

    All the oil squirters are good for is just cooling down the pistons for HIGH HP applications. I don't have any squirters in my 7m, but I'm still stock and just shooting for maybe ~500rwhp ~600rwtq. Oil Squirters = cooler pistons
