The only time mine reads 3 on Karman is when the motor is not running. Throttle is only 0 when... throttle is 0%. ;) What you're seeing is not in any way normal. Also, your SAFC is not doing anything, LOL.

...and this engine still ran OK after all that?

My guess is that you are not reading A/F. Either tapped the wrong wire, or that TT is just really bad.

Ah, now I see. That is one shiny chassis, and one nasty condenser. LOL.

This doesn't make any sense to me... If it were the RHD heater connect, why would it be on the exhaust side of the engine? All the HVAC equipment is on the exhaust side on a LHD car, in a RHD car its all on the intake side. There is a line, just like the one shown, in LHD cars that is supposed...

Hah, you've got torque wrenches that are more than 12 years older then I am! LOL

Very old school! Pretty neat though.

I know jj likes to use dyes in his fluids to track down leaks, so thats the next thing I recommend you try if you can't find what the leak. If you see a hose thats deformed like that it needs to be replaced anyway though.

Smack you in the face? What on earth were you doing? LOL.

Make sure you're checking the radiator itself too, not just the overflow. Both turbo coolant lines are right on top, and normally in my experience will have red crust (or whatever color I suppose you're using) around the leak because of the high heat evaporating the water very quickly. The...

And the question is... what?

Hissing? You are EXTREMELY low on coolant, and obviously have not been adding enough back in with whatever leak you've got. The hissing you are hearing is steam, because there is no water left to come out at that height in the motor. This is also why your temp gauge is acting like it is, all...

It's just another tool brand. "SK" is the name. Only 90 days on torque wrenches, just like any mechanical Craftsman tool more complicated than a ratchet. No matter what you buy, always have it calibrated, and don't leave it set whenever possible; it should work just fine.

I'm in Wantage, looks like about 1 hour 30 minutes north of you. One thing I was told about primer is that it is porous, and if you paint with only primer on bare metal it can still rust again.

You'll probably get the long block. But that's all you'll get.

Where in NJ?

Wow, thats REALLY extreme, LOL. I can't imagine how slowly you'd be accelerating to keep it in good vac and shift at 2k RPM. My car sounds like I'm torturing it if I drive much below 1800 revs, LOL.

If it has rust as bad as you are describing thats obvious, you'll need to do more. Since its going to be sitting for 6 months anyway you might as well take out the interior and see how bad it really is, my guess is you'll be pretty well rotted through in a lot more places then you know now...

Hmm, seen a lot of stuff on sharks coming up this week. I wonder why... ;)

I'll go out on a limb here and say that 300 is one that is worth buying. Especially if you like all the extra features.
