    metal question

    indeed. rust, corrode, oxidize. it's all the same when broken down into simplistics. aluminum does oxidize, but only one molecule at a time. if you were to constantly be cleaning off the oxidation over a period of years, and by years i mean YEARS... start at 10 years old, end at 90. the...

    rain guards

    no. untrue. it just requires a bit more work. they will bolt on and hold on tight. they hold on in two places. the a-pillar and the roofline. so, to remove the targa, you must remove the rainguard. it's not more than a 2 minute job, but it is one step between you and sunshine.

    did a compression test

    Adjuster: what did you spray your headgasket with? i believe what i'm going to do is put a new mhg on with some type of light, read *light*, coating on the gasket to seal block imperfections, if found. if serious, i will be heading into a rebuild. which i'm pretty OK with at this point. i...

    what would you do?

    well, the guy is basically unapproachable with any sort of problem. he's just one of those uncaring motherfuckers. and i thought the same thing about doing something to his car, but it's a 96 lumina. nothing short of a godsend if i lit it on fire...

    what would you do?

    a friend of mine has bought a supra. headgasket was blown, so we did it. runs fine. turbo oil drain line fractured and was leaking everywhere. so, ordered jblmk3's ss braided ct26 line and am waiting on arrival. in the meantime, he pulls the turbo off and cleans up the area around it. so as...

    did a compression test

    damnit. lol yep, john, this is exactly what's happening. i have a new rad cap and thermostat, so it must be the headgasket. and its probably from detonation. which sucks. so, since i've only got ~20k mi on this headgasket, i may be able to clean up the head surface and put a new...

    did a compression test

    and it went better than i expected it to go. 1=155 2=155 3=160 4=160 5=155 6=160 not bad at all as far as i'm concerned. now, even when it's got good compression, i believe i should do a leakdown, since my overflow will puke still, and my upper hose will get pressurized... my pcv...
