Don't touch the part with your bare hands after it has been washed. The oils from your skin will cause the same problems. Buy a box of nitrile gloves at O'Rielly's or A.Z. They run about $12. If you use paint stripper on that soft rubber, it'll eat it. More than likely, even the stuff that...

Bilstien's and stock spings on 225/60/r17's: Bilstien's with TIP Engineering springs(Hypercoil) and sleeves on 255/40/zr17's: That's about as low as it'll go without bottoming out while driving. The difference in handling is incredible. Hit up Wiisass if your interested. He has all...

Wrapping or ceramic coating the header should help drop the temps. under the hood by quite a bit.

Could be in the combination switch(in the column. Its what controls head lights, turn signals, all the stuff on the two arms), or in the dimmer switch, maybe.

Wow, no. Do not sand the block or the head surfaces. Have them milled at a machine shop. Also, a level is not straight, or flat, if you will. A machinist straight edge is. This is one of those places where being cheap is definitely a BAD idea...

Functional. Dirty, but functional...

Meh, she just needed another rock/line/fix/pill; she'd settle down after that...

The caps that hold the cam in place have to go back on teh head in a particular order, and facing a particular direction. They are numbered, and have arrows on them. If you took the cams out to get to the head bolts, then maybe you didn't put them(the caps) back correctly? You should read the...

The air temp sensor is indeed inside the afm. You could try cleaning the sensor with some electrical parts cleaner. NOT Brake cleaner, carb. cleaner, or any other harsh agent. They'll kill the afm quick. The coolant temp sensor could cause a rich condition, if it was giving a low reading...

Oil Pump: Dealer. Order the pump for the turbo model. Better pump. If you search a bit, you can find where IJ says to shim it 5mm. I think there may be a good explanation as to how. Water Pump: Local Auto parts. If you maintain the cooling system, you won't have to change it again. As far...

Might try the turbo section for your car... Anyway, I run catless, and have no problems at all with fumes. I would suggest checking for codes, maybe a tune-up, and some diagnostic work to see why you're running rich.

Honestly, I prefer Folgers over Starbuck's. 8 teaspoons to 12 cups. Distilled water, and coffee maker flushed once a month with white vinegar. I do find that the distilled water and maintained coffee maker make a big difference in how coffee tastes. Starbuck's tastes... burnt. I don't...

How about a flogged out, but not rusty n/a? :biglaugh: I'll agree here. I've done the exhaust from the head back(3 times from the header back to get what I wanted), full CAI(3" aluminum tubing, ceramic coated from the intake to the MAF, filter just above the fog light), 1 piece d.s...

http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56763&highlight=Crower+cams They had a little trouble with ignition timing here. Apparently the timing gear on the exhaust cam for the dist./cps was clocked wrong.

I don't use it very often, but next time I get a can, I'll post up the active ingredients. The EGR not functioning correctly is a whole different matter. I run into this a lot myself(mostly Fords), usually because the ports through the intake are plugged up. I have some long, thin, round...

Most of the parts I'd get from the dealer. Champion/Jay Marks in Houston will give you a good deal. They're in the Misc. Vendors Section. If you are gonna get it rebuilt, you should get your buddy to pull the housings, and check everything first. Then you can order the parts you need all at...

Try looking in the n/a section :) There's a few nice ones in there.

Fix the misfire, use Chevron gasoline. Ford has a pretty good carb./injector cleaner. Pour the can in a full tank, and run it out. Otherwise, Napa cleans and flow tests injectors, so you could pull them all, and take them in. Cost around $40 each, iirc. Call your local Napa for details.

I'd try the Redline oil first, and shift easy, making sure the clutch is fully disengaged(no racing, or hard shifting for a while). This will help the trans. last a while, and allow you to save money for a rebuild. Have a pro. put new synchro's in second. As a matter of fact, Toyota sells an...

They probably sent the block out to be rebuilt, or had a top tech do it. Do the bolts one at a time, starting from the middle, and working your way out, according to the torque sequence in the tsrm. Stock torque is 58 ft. lbs.(http://cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=55)...
