After reading what pressure's folks run with the viscosity they run my pressure is about right then since I run Chevron Delo 20-50 during winter and 40 during summer.

If Toyota didn't have some type of complicity wouldn't it be likely that every carmaker would have been sued by so called owners who didn't do proper maintenance? I would imagine so. Before I bought my 89 supra my wife wanted a 4runner. We looked at way too many before realizing that if you...

I've never had the pleasue of Driving in a large parking lot coved in snow, But I sure would do it given the chance, I bet that was a blast. About the closest I've come to that is driving a couple of Fiats 124 Spider and a 131 Super Brave I owned years ago at Soggy Dry Lake. Years ago before the...

FYI, I believe you can buy some good ole Marvel Mystery Oil really cheap too. Even supermarkets sell it, it's called Transmission Fluid.

Personally, I like anything I don’t have to polish just to make it look decent, I prefer painted wheels myself. Another cool aspect I’ve notice on my spray painted wheels, is the brake dust washes right off and doesn’t seem to stick like it did to the stock sawblade clearcoat finish.

Looks like something is funky in my car, time to check it out.

3p Excellent write up and Pics, Thanks

Mines around 60 when Its on the freeway and maybe 20-30 at idle.

But when its full of collant and the system is working perfectly is it cavitating? thus causing hot spots that lead to BHGs'?

What it does is prevents the impeller from cavitating which basically means spinnig and moving nothing. The plate makes it so when that impeller spins it prevents the water from escaping thus Forcing it through your system when you need it most. I posted a better picture so you can see a little...

Any local hardware store sells a chemical called wood bleach. The real name of the good stuff in it is Oxalic Acid, harmless to plastics and most metals, but it dissolves rust. It was the main ingrediant in Duponts Super 7 Radiator cleaner, the only stuff that ever actually worked. So you can...

If you can download the pic and blow it up you'll see a metal plate welded onto the stock impeller making it able to pump some major water through your system. I've had this type of pump on all my vehicles for years and never once had a cooling issue. On a 68 dodge van I had installed a very...

Are there Manual racks out there you can replace your powered rack with?

Hells Right on, it was the only wing I could find for our fat ass Supras, I never realized how wide it was intil I went looking for a wing.

my 30.00 wing on my 89 n/a, ya I know many said it should be white even the wife says it, so when it warms up I might redo the wing and rims white.

Nick, and Aaron good posts Thanks, and Nick are you really in Anbar?

Here's an example of what I believe a Supra Water Pump Needs. I made this exact pump myself a few years ago for my 440 using a MP Alu pump, all I did was weld a plate on it just like the Milodon in the pic. It's easy to make yourself as you can see from the pic I added. I dont have a cooling...

This is what I see as a common sense happening (it don't mean it's so), the block and head being dissimilar metals NEED to expand and contract at close to the same rate (the thermostats number one job). If for any reason the head or block in what ever area gets starved of coolant then the...

I’ve used the kind used on the semis also (wix spin on type) they have a little late with a 1/8” hole on the output of the filter, at least the ones I bought from Filter Engineering did, but what I wanted was a full flow since my van sits allot and then when we do use it to haul our trailer to...

Isn't there anyone out there that has any data on the water flow in the water jackets? Is it possible the water pump impeller is cavitating leaving the water still as a lake in the water jackets especially at the rear of the engine where Major flow is needed the most? Or has this gone...
