If you're not getting enough flow, it's just as bad as being capped...

For $400 I'd make it work...

Not sure I'd trust it still...

Just a little fuel to the fire http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detailing-product-discussion/59319-simple-green-aluminum-embrittlement.html (seems like the original document is missing from the DoD site) Castrol Superclean is discontinued, but it's far worse on eating aluminum, rubber, and...

Yes it does arm the alarm (unless something is worn out in your door)

I prefure not to use anything that will etch paint period :rofl: It's not like the safe degreasers are expensive...

Eh, everyone has opinions. That would be true if it was a throttle bypass (it's not). It's called Positive Crankcase Ventilation for a reason. It actually helps your rings seal. It's not a TB bypass... Venting the catch can will just cause excessive blow by, it's not about un metered...

Varying degrees of etching, but if his engine bay is that dirty, he's going to have to let it sit... Oven cleaner is obviously the worst of the bunch (I've used it to degrease a driveshaft that I was going to repaint anyway, took EVERYTHING off). I'd say real Castrol Superclean is second worst...

Simple Green, Purple Power (Castrol Super Clean), and oven cleaner will all do terrible things to paint (and aluminum...and rubber...) If I'm remembering right, there's a Gunk Engine Brite that can also be used as a detailer. That's what I use. If your engine bay is bad, you're going to...

Apparently he really likes building grenades...

Lovingly known as "idiot locks" :)

"vancoiver, canada" :p

And yep, for carbed motors the ones I'm talking aobut channel the flow properly. Not to mention the best use for carb spacer is for a nitrous setup :D

Air chisel works well too ;) And you actually should be aiming around the studs, that's where the rust is holding it together...

My bad, there is still a hose there. You can see it here All cars have some sort of bypass for the t-stat. If not, the pressure won't allow it to operate properly (classic sign is rapid overheat and cooling).

Correct, that's the t-stat bypass and capping it WILL cause issues (there's a hard line on the NAs)

The issue is that rust fills the gap between the holes in the elbow and the studs. Took a LOT of beating with a BFH to get mine loose. I also had the turbo off the car though.

Maybe in an orifice tube system, but not in an expansion valve system (like we have).

Stock is platinum and they work fine ;) I don't like changing my plugs so I tend to use platinums. Iridiums are a nightmare to gap (and yes they really should be gapped to work properly) and too expensive for what they really do IMHO.
