    Why do supras HG always blow anyway?

    Reign, Ya I see where that gasket blew and your right if was wax paperlike and a copper ring I can see that could blow.

    Why do supras HG always blow anyway?

    Just a question, if it was JUST the torque specs on the bolts why do so many still get them even after a proper everything. This whole fix of polishing the block to a mirror finish seems to me to allow the head to slide indepenent of the block (since they both expand at different rates)...

    water pump question

    Adjuster, just to clarify, the water pump never stops circulating the water even when the thermostat is closed. When the thermostat is open it circulates it into the radiator and when it closes continues circulate the water in the block. This is where the question of cavitation comes in. I've...

    water pump question

    For those of you who think anti-freeze is all that’s needed to stop corrosion, try a little test. Get yourself a glass container of anti-freeze and put in a piece of bare steel set it outside for a couple of weeks and come back and tell us the results. I think you’ll have a different perspective...

    help me pick tires! plz.

    Just something I’ve learned from experience. There is NO rubber tire that gets good traction in the snow, that’s what chains and studs are for. Anyone that claims one tire is better than another in snow is just being silly if you ask me since the differences in temps, wetness, and a host of...

    Wheel Bearings

    Toyota most likely is not in the bearing manufacturing business, so if you have to have OEM bearings find who manufactured them and order them through your local bearing supplier like Kaman, or King bearing. Also your right the stockers last almost forever, one reason is they were tightened to...

    60/40 Rosin Core Solder submersed in gas?

    It just goes to show you, one can never posses too much knowledge. Solder joints are NOT Brittle, COLD solder joints are brittle; a cold solder joint is like using an open end wrench to torque your heads down. It takes the right knowledge and tools to do any job right. I am with Jeff on this I...
