Yes. If you listen very carefully when you first start engines up you can hear it knock for a couple seconds until it gains oil pressure

i know i can use one from an 87 or 88, but does that mean i CANT use one from an 89?

Anyone else know if the IC piping will work? Im buying the stuff today and if it doesn't work I don't want to buy it. And can i splice the wires? Or do i really have to have a harness and ecu from an 87?

Im sorry if these have been answered, but i am trying to search and im having a really hard time finding the right terms to use to get the information. I have a few questions swapping from an 86.5 NA to an 89 turbo 7mgte. The engine i am buying has the 89 turbo wiring harness, all the sensors...

yup

No everything is completely stock, and its been confirmed in another thread that there are different lengths.

Anybody know? Im hoping to get this done this weekend!

Really? No way! I did the ford AAA competition last year and came first in California, but didnt do very well in the nationals. Did you get second in the nationals? If you were there so was i! As for the school, im going to UTI right now, and if i didnt get a scholarship i definately would...

You know it! I see so many cars rollin around with a GPS after Christmas its hilarious. Be careful though they are getting stolen like crazy!

So are you saying only sometimes the lights on the dash turn off when you go to crank and sometimes they don't? Or is it that every time you go to crank and it doesn't crank, that's when the lights on the dash don't turn off? Or is it that the starter clicks when you go to crank but doesn't turn...

Bump!!

GPS FTW!

Does anyone have the dimensions of the different catalytic converter lengths? Specifically a California 89 Turbo compared to an 86.5 california cat? (i am speaking about the rearmost cat, for those that have a front cat also.) PLEASE HELP i have been trying to get this information forever but so...

Cant remember if our brakes are this way but sometimes one of the pins is part of the bracket and you just remove the lower bolt, swing the caliper and then slide it off

You should be using a 50/50 mix, equal amount of water and antifreeze Thought its true water does transfer heat better, and antifreeze does lower the freezing point of the coolant, one of the other major functions of the antifreeze is to raise the boiling point. And yea if you use too much...

DAYUM it looks awesome! Did you use a buffer or hand polish only? Is that original paint?

I would be checking for the proper antifreeze-water ratio first. If you have too much water it will boil earlier than its supposed to. Also, pressure test your system and the cap.

The valve lets a little bit through to stop the same stuff from being in the heater core always, so it does get warm/hot eventually. I have the vacuum line off my valve and i still get good HOT heat after a while.

With your heat on, the plunger on the valve should be UP. If its not, you have an issue there somewhere.

Be very careful! If there is more air trapped in your heater core and it gets free while youre driving you can seriously overheat!(Exactly what happened to me). Does the car warm up just as quickly as it used to? Is your heater control valve working properly?
