I have used this stuff on many gaskets and seals in my engine and it seems to be holding up. I have used it on my rear differential, intake gaskets, and water pump. If the surface being sealed is of high quality you can use it without the paper or metal gasket. make subsequent disassembly...

Or is my supra an anti mosquito sprayer. Either way may car smokes and I listen to what the surgeon general says and I want to quit. SO I need to determine where and how the oil is getting sucked into the cylinders to be burned. It does not smoke All the time but it will make great big cloud...

I would go electric all the way. They are better in ALL respects except for price and mayby installation if you and electricity are not on speaking terms. Mechanical fuel and Oil pressure guages are dangerous, think hot oil and gas lines pumping into your cabin, some localities outlaw these...

From toyota bank on over $300 US for the high pressure hose, some go as high as $600 US :aigo: . I could not afford that , then someone suggested I take my old line to a shop that can rebuild hoses. They take the old leaking rubber parts off and replace with shiny new rubber bits and get this...

Has anyone considered Alcohol ? not water/Alcohol injecion but as the fuel? With larger injectors and fuel managment could you run gas normally and when you go to the track run Alcohol and turn up the boost ? some info here its seems to be a possibility if not a little complicated...

Thanks for the feedback, Long time ago I had a VW beatle painted by a shop that had a good rep, turns out they liked doing insurance work better and jerked me around and did a poor prep job ect. spent $2000 on them and felt cheated. so I have considered painting the car myself but that is a big...

For the people who have had cars painted, How did you evaluate the shops for quality before you plunked down dough for a paint job ? What indicates a good shop from a bad one ? If anybody from north alabama , any sugestions ?

When I first start the car it will Idle at about 2000 rpm steady. After being on for about 1 minute the engine will start to rythmicly cut then catch on again. where do I start ?

I dont know, Having heard the Toyota 3.0 liter V-10 at 18000 RPM going by the front stretch at Indynapolis its hard for our engines to live up to that sound.

Yeah the horizontally opposed four has a characteristic sound. The VW also had that sound, just not as powerful as the Scooby. The VW’s tweet sound that was engineered deliberately, The exhaust tips had to be correct length to make the sound. The sound of a engine seems to be based not only on...

I absolutly loved the show Firefly that this movie is based on. And yes The movie just absolutly ROCKS. Joss Whedon is better in my book than All of the A list writer and directors of Sci-Fi today. Go See this movie.

I have a 1986.5 , and I think ypu can only do it from below. By the steps. 1. Jack car up and place on jack stands(very important unless your sure you can bench 3500 lbs :aigo: ) 2. Disconnect battery very important, I have seen the slagged remains of wrench that became a short. not...

Three wire O2 sensors are heated, two wires for the heater the third is the actual sensor lead. Common failure modes Lambda probes have a limited lifespan since the exposed sensor element is subjected to high temperatures which causes fatigue over time. Probes become sluggish, failing to...

Anti-lag From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Anti-lag is a system used on WRC rally cars to completely eliminate turbo lag. It is a feature of the engine management system. WRC cars are fitted with a class mandated restrictor on the turbocharger inlet and this increases turbo lag...

I have a good NA head that has relatively new valve stem seals. 3000-4000 miles. However your head may be good, the cam journals will look VERY BAD and yet still be in VERY GOOD mechanical shape. Unless this mechanic is intimately familiar with Toyota motors and the 7M in particular I would not...

Since the 1JZ uses just a light for low oil pressure indication, does this mean the sender is just a on / off switch ? turns off when say 6 psi is reached ? Or does it work differently and it could be used to power a guage.
