    Largest Speeding Tickets?

    I said 160 in an 80. That's what I was doing. The cop who ticketed me asked how fast I was going. I, of course, didn't tell him. He said he was going 120 and I left him behind. I told him maybe he needed a faster car. He explained to me how badly he could make things go if he wasn't such a swell...

    Largest Speeding Tickets?

    $864 for 160mph in a 70mph zone. (Empty road mind you. I don't agree with reckless driving. But if it's just you you're endangering, more power to you. Too many people in this world anyway). Cop was driving a Camaro and riding my ass. No idea he was a cop. I was doing 80 and he came down an...

    smelling coolant from exhaust, what is causing it?

    As long as it hasn't yet hurt the block. A Toyota head gasket and ARP head studs. But this is dependent upon why the gasket failed. If the block has been machined in the past, it's possible the timing cover was not machined with it. If it's the original head gasket, it most likely failed because...

    Unless you've already found one, I can drop off a timing light after work tomorrow.

    Sounds like Villy may actually be more jealous than me.

    Faye. Do you need the whole fan assembly? Just the blades? I have a fan clutch but sold the fan a day or two before you decided to break yours ;) The clutch is yours if you need it.

    Thanks bro! For the record tho, you helped me first :p Still impressed with how you showed up to help someone you'd never met. And wouldn't accept a dime for it. Anytime you need help don't be shy. I'll be there if I can.

    CT26 wastegate actuator rod question

    They are really small and can be a pain. Fortunately they're cheap. Buy a couple extra as they're easy to loose.

    Exactly. Rings should be the only thing requiring break-in. Hopefully that's the only metal on metal. A dyno is the safest, easiest, best bet for break-in.

    CT26 wastegate actuator rod question

    There is supposed to be a clip. You can get one from auto parts stores or a hardware store. Don't know the size. Good idea to get one on there soonest.

    3" is far superior to crushed 4" :) I'm always worried about clearance.

    60-1 trim 7psi 20-60

    Babying it can be just as bad or worse tho. They are correct in the need to force your rings out hard against the crosshatch. But generate too much heat and you get glazing. Same effect from babying it or using synthetic during break in. 7M; I think what you are seeing is normal. It will feel...

    This is true. I've heard it plenty. I remain standing firmly with those who would argue back tho.

    That's just sad. The little bit I helped. Maybe I'll stop by tomorrow?
