    Planning on doing the Foglight rewire but I have a question

    you are only tapping into the wire, not cutting off entirely, so it will still work.

    Compression ratio and engine heat

    the water pump was not replaced but as mentioned there is no play and no leakage from it. Fan clutch is fine but is being replaced with an oem turbo clutch/fan next week, though this shouldn't matter for freeway temperatures anyways. I also forgot to add that the condenser and radiator have...

    Compression ratio and engine heat

    I have been having overheating problems as some of you know, and i just had a thought. I recently replaced my head gasket on my 7mge a little while ago and had the head machined. I remember now i never checked the head thickness before or after the machine work was done, but i remember very...

    The new money pit....

    I always replace the engine rear main seal every time i remove a transmission, even if it isnt leaking. Check what kind of fluid that is in there and decide if you need to replace the input shaft seal of the transmission. I would replace the output seal as well just to be safe, who wants to pull...

    1J Crank Pulley + Napa Socket =

    my kmart set i have had for 10 years has never broken a socket or ratchet or anything! And it has a lifetime warranty. It got that bolt off with the starter trick with ease.

    My last bit of denial before the HG Job.

    well it sounds like you drove your car home, and in doing so you overheated it and you drove it with a crapload of water in the crankcase.... If the advertiser knows its overheating, chances are his dumb-ass overheated it several times into and over the red zone. I would be thoroughly checking...

    valve tick

    sure, larger valve clearances will make a tick or clack from the head. Take a screwdriver and put the tip on the valve cover, put the butt end up to your ear and you should be able to hear right inside that cover. The clearances are adjustable via shims.

    Power Steering Pressure Line

    i changed my pressure line in my garage without any cutting....twice. Its doable. I didnt life the engine or anything, most i did was loosen a couple of the rack bolts, but event hat was not necessary

    Blend door?

    Ok, got it. My A/C is a whole separate problem, but my concern was one of the ac components (evaporator) was causing a problem with the regular air, so yes i wasn't directly concerned with the A/C performance, the thing is after i noticed these higher than ambient outside temps is exactly when...

    Blend door?

    That doesnt seem to make sense... I didn't know the blend door sealed off the evaporator at ALL. I thought any air that goes into the vents must go through the evaporator, as the blower is right before it and none of the ducts come until after the evaporator... I assumed when the ac was off the...

    Blend door?

    Ok, thanks for the advice. I did a little more inspecting and upon taking the glove box off the actuator is in plain view. I tested all the sensors, they tested out fine, and it tested the modes and temperatures like you mentioned previously, everything seems to be working just how you described...

    Blend door?

    Ok, i went out and tested again, and its in fact a little different than what i posted before. from 65-84, the temp is exactly the same somewhere between 125 and 130F. once i press to 85, the vac line to the heater valve gets vacuum, and the vent temp is around 160, and on auto, it shoots the...

    Blend door?

    Ok so i checked operation with a digital thermometer, and guess what, the blend door is not working at all. Its blowing a consistent 117-120 degrees out the vents on auto no matter what i set the temp to. Also, as i increase the temp, nothing changes, the vents blow out the top and dont...
