    gasket name question

    Let it idle, if you rev it and then smoke comes out, then it is the valve seals. If it is smoking non stop, it could be the rings or turbo.

    Do I Hook Up Electric Fans?

    The thermostat threaded right into the housing? I have been looking for one like that which threads in without having to retap the housings. How did you use the A/C fan's plug? Use the pig tail off your stock fans? It had enought amps to power up the fans? It sends constant power even...

    Do I Hook Up Electric Fans?

    Jetjock, I was asking manily for electrical help, since that is not my strong area. If it makes you any happier, close the thread, I have found out what I needed to know. Poodles, I know about eliminating things. I do it only if I can support it. Example, I eliminated my EGR, since I have...

    Has anybody?

    You can use it there and throw a bead of silicone on there. I would recommend on getting an actual exhaust gasket since that is not a walk in the park to do. I always put a bead of silicone on all of my gaskets except the exhaust gasket and turbo gasket for the manifold. I don't put a lot...

    Do I Hook Up Electric Fans?

    DB, I posted I would like to use a sensor in the thermostat housing. I can put it in the thermostat housing as I am not using my EGR, I am not using the Bimetallic valve. I am not a fan of a probe in the radiator. The Coolant stream would be what I want to do or the controller but if it uses...

    Unleashing The Beast... (56K Beware!)

    I built a 7M head myself. Make sure you do it at room temperature or close to it. Also, you will have to torque the caps down and then check the clearance. Also, rotate the cams a full turn so all the valves open because sometimes the shims are not in all the way or oil is taking up space...
