    Heater core selection?

    Check the old core before binning it, often the actual core is fine and it's leaking at the V seam in the tank and it's an easy fix for a rad shop, mine was like $20 to repair.

    Not a member and has never been a member here, there are a couple here I'd happily trade though at least this tard is amusing. ;) Read through his history he's a genius and has a doctorate!! :aigo:

    best bov?

    Well everyone knows you would use a control rice to remove any variable or your BoV choice would be compromised/null :p

    best bov?

    To find the best you need to raise the slide valve, cap off the outlet then fill it with uncooked rice, the one that holds the most is by definition "the best".

    is an alternator = alternator for toyota cars?

    My GE Alt finally gave up the ghost after a few years of being spun to 8500rpm, I think at the time I calculated 14000+ rpm at the alternator, it had very very worn brushes, no commutator left and grumbly bearings.

    Copper Spray and OEM Head Gasket

    Very welcome Col! If you're really freaked out you could grab a can of the GM headbolt sealer and test it on a corner of the gasket to see if it's compatible with the Toyota goo, leave it sit a couple of hours if it doesn't bubble up/turn to slime you could then give around the water and oil...

    flooding driving me insane

    Look up the section in the TRSM on setting it and see if that cures the issue. No need to jump straight to replacing parts :)

    Copper Spray and OEM Head Gasket

    "Should" be fine to use as is Colin, if it can't seal the imperfections nothing else you do will have any chance. Main area of concern is under the fire rings as that's where most leaking HG's start.

    Gates Raceing power grip hose clamps?

    Can't see how that happens as the system pressure is a constant, maybe if the flow is reduced to a trickle and there is a hot spot it might cavitate and boil the coolant in that area.....

    M70 V12 Supra

    Can't see any reason not to use one! I was thinking more along the lines of something easily programmable like a PCS so you can tailor it to suit the circuit, not sure how the BMW trans works but if it's solenoids it's not that hard to set up as the PCS can handle 6 forward gears. An Auto...

    Gates Raceing power grip hose clamps?

    Didn't "miss" anything was just commenting on the fact that braided rad hoses are an expensive WOTM on a road car, last I checked you'd never ran a Turbo Supra fullstop..... Can't see how there would be a pressure spike on the t-stat opening Pete it's not like the system is divided until it...
