    1JZGTE replacement cooling fan.

    I am using a soarer 1JZ clutch, and a USDM sc300 fan blade, with some spacers to clear the 1JZ water neck. This is one of those common what works for you, questions. I do not have an upgraded rad, as this makes things more difficult.

    Switch ARP Bolts to Studs

    Properly installed head bolts are better than slapped on head studs, IMO. If you dont have time, funds, or patients to do the entire head properly, then what you have is good enough.

    Head ports

    Porting heads is an art, like most art forms its difficult to do well. Then again some people are just good at that sort of thing. If you interested in doing it for yourself, research what the tools would cost and decide from there. (proper tools are key)

    Fresh rebuild. Coolant boiled on me.

    Base timing at 0* will not damage the engine, however it will not cause the coolant to boil either. Were you able to get the engine light to flash with the jumper in?

    oil build up in intake? =/

    The clock, radio, starter, alt, battery, ecu, and others. Also there are fuses in the drivers kick panel, and the engine compartment that also have power all the time. What area do you need power?

    Overdrive light

    There are to many variables to say what you RPMs should be at, in or out of OD. Can you see and feel the RPMs change when you shift in and out of OD (while at highway speeds)? A faulty dash light will not affect OD performance. Also, what is the issue?
