    fixing head gasket

    If they have a torque plate for a 7m then they probably have 7m experience. If all you're doing is the head gasket then yeah, there is no need for a torque plate. It would kinda get in the way of machining the deck.

    fixing head gasket

    If they don't have a torque plate find a shop that does. They can remove and reinstall the internals. More likely to be done correctly.

    Oxygen Sensor Cut!

    If you're worried you can just crimp it. Hard wire with crimps, no connector pins

    The Yacolt yank stuff has me laughing my ass off. How many times have I seen this happen? Pure awesomeness. Especially when the bumper is birds tooth

    Make Clutch Feel New Again?

    If "all my fluid just spills out" you have a pretty obvious problem. One that you are capable of taking care of without asking about it. Find the leak. Replace what's leaking. Bleed the system. If you still have issues, ask away. Logical order for future reference. Good luck

    7mgte Help. Rough Idle, Bogs out, and black smoke from exhaust

    I'm not trying to be an ass. It's just a whole lot easier to help when you know what is being asked. If I assume that I know what you are asking I put you in danger of losing time, money and motivation. I don't want to do that. Your car will do its best to do that without my help. That being...

    Retorque Head Before Lex/550S/NEO?

    I don't see how it could hurt anything. As long as you do it in small increments, one at a time, I can't see the head lifting enough to hurt your gasket whether it's mls or composite.

    Uh... Well then. I guess I'm from Yacolt. For some reason, a little video plays in my head as I read each of those statements. And each one of them conjures up another. The scary part is that I'm a little proud of it:) I love that place

    7mgte Help. Rough Idle, Bogs out, and black smoke from exhaust

    Your post is pretty hard to read. And it doesn't mention anything you've checked. Is English not your first language?

    Need thoughts... really weird problem.

    Huh. Glad you got it figured out. Hope you don't have to pay too much for the wasted hours.
