    Please Help I really messed up this time.

    Tonight I got out of my 91 turbo 5spd and forgot to put the E-Brake on. The car rolled away straight into a curb head on really hard and ended up on top of a giant hard bush. It still starts up but then idles really low and unsteady and eventually dies unless Im giving it gas, even while Im...

    Rod knock-type noise

    Are you sure? The trans has never seen more than stock boost and these things are supposed to be almost bullet proof. Noise stops when I step on the clutch pedal. If its because it needs to be rebuilt wouldn't it make the knocking/tap noise whether the clutch is engaged or not?

    Rod knock-type noise

    Yes it is a continuous tap/knocking sound. I don't have to push the clutch pedal all the way in though to make the noise go away, maybe like 2 inches in and the knocking goes away. Anyone else been through this?

    Rod knock-type noise

    I started hearing a knocking noise a little while back that sounds like the early stages of rod knock but it goes away when I step on the clutch pedal, then comes back a few seconds after I let it go. Throwout bearing? Flywheel bolt? Anybody?

    Loss of Compression!

    Sounds like its your Piston rings. Check and make sure you have spark and fuel.

    Condensation

    Can you get condensation in your engine a couple days after you've ran it and showed no signs of it before? Also how long should it last in your engine till you stop getting stuff under the oil cap?

    Before I pop the head off...

    So you suggest I warm the car up and check the dipstick instead or can I be able to spot coolant after I drain the oil?

    Before I pop the head off...

    I'm about to drain it. I just saw the oil cap when I drove the car after letting it sit for a while. Im asking because a friend fired up his camaro after it was also sitting for a while, revved it pretty hard in park, and I found milkshake in his cap after. We thought he had a BHG but the stuff...

    Before I pop the head off...

    I just wanted to make sure that milkshake in your oil cap means definitely a BHG or can there be other causes (besides a cracked head/block). The head looks like it's been machined before so the HG might still be ok but there's no way to tell how long ago the work was done.

    Arp bolts vs. studs

    What about using PB? Is it possible to ruin the thread with a chaser?

    Arp bolts vs. studs

    Thanks for the info but I'm sorry to say that I'm not familiar with "chasing threads"?

    Arp bolts vs. studs

    I was just wondering why studs are said to be the better option. Also how tight should I "hand tighten" them?

    Quick 02 sensor question.

    Crap, knew it was too easy. Where do you guys buy your sensors at? Kragen o'reileys tried to well sell me a "universal" o2 sensor with only one wire. I listened to their knowledgeable advice just for a laugh, and left.

    Is it worth it to part out?

    Are you going to buy another supra everytime you blow a HG? Just fix it.

    Quick 02 sensor question.

    Will an 87t sensor fit a 91t? I have a used one laying around but I know for a fact it's good.
