    What are these called?

    I believe it's called a lower radiator support, but can't confirm it. I'm pretty sure that's going to be a dealer only item.

    driving with a code 52 - a stupid idea?

    Did you clear the codes by pulling the EFI fuse for 30 sec after you rewired it? It's not going to hurt it driving it.

    This is why you don't use AU green coolant in your 7M

    ^^^ I use ONLY OEM water pumps for that exact reason ;)

    Can we get an official 'Catch Can' Thread?

    Boost also tends to pressurize the crankcase to a certain degree...since flow will take the path of least resistance and with crankcase pressure assisting, the stock system is adequate. Putting a PCV valve in the location I mention will help though...if you are going to install a catch can...

    need help: gearbox/clutch problems

    And this has to do with 7M-GTE tech in what way? Thread moved...please pay attention where you post.

    Did you look at the TSRM TB pics in the link I posted? (pretty straight forward)

    headgasket question

    Dude - there is no PCV valve on a 7M...the throttle body uses a TB orifice. You should know better than making a statement like that :3d_frown: Here's the TSRM depiction of the orifice...very often it does need to be cleaned...

    Can we get an official 'Catch Can' Thread?

    The reason you get so many "opinions" is guys seem to route the PCV system on the fly...basically whatever looks good or offers the most convenient hose routing. The problem is these same people don't know how the PCV works on the 7M...kinda surprising since it's such a simple system. A few...

    Catch can is this correct???

    Good for you. Congratulations on getting away with a PCV system that basically didn't work.

    oil leaking...which seal do u think it is??

    Take the cam gear cover off and look behind the gears at the cam seals. Otherwise, there's the oil pump drive shaft seal and the main seal for the crank...both are behind the lower cover.

    what transmission do I have?

    Call up Martin. I needed a shifter seat for my truck and the guy I talked too told me how to figure out which one...seems the W56 has a couple different variants. Once I pulled the boot and took a look, he had the right one on the way. I got the fork bushing too...using both really tightened...

    Steering Rack Leak?

    Yep, the $15 one...I did not use the smart connects. There is plenty of rubber hose on the return line to the resevoir....3/8" size. Standard or constant force clamps will work fine. I would do a flush/fluid replace with Mobil 1 ATF (Dex V synthetic) and put this filter on. Change the...

    Help please!!! I failed smog...

    Fixed that for ya ;) (water in the fuel system is not good)

    Help please!!! I failed smog...

    Seafoam = snake oil...it is a solvent. Never use this stuff in the oil or fuel system...in fact, never use this stuff period. . You can get the exact same result by metering a quart of pure water into the intake manifold...ever seen the cylinder that blew on a BHG? Clean as a whistle. A TB...

    noobe here, few questions please.

    First of all the 7M uses an AFM (Air Flow Meter), not a MAF...I really wish you guys would keep that straight. Terminology is important...if I see a guy that can't write a legible sentence using correct terminology, I ignore him. Second, stock head bolts were tested by Reg Reimer to 72...

    noobe here, few questions please.

    1) Fuel cut. Lex AFM = 16-18 psi or go standalone. 2) You will either need a fuel piggyback or go standalone. 3) Depends on the motor...take it to a dyno and find out it's limits.

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    This is also the same in AZ...didn't mean to imply everyone. We have our criminals here too that have forfeited the right to own a gun.

    Catch can is this correct???

    That engine is known for that. Causes? Contaminates in the oil from combustion...water vapor is the primary culprit. A working PCV system is designed to get rid of combustion byproducts, but if it is not functioning correctly (i.e. under vac) an emulsion can result a lot like what you see with...

    Yeah, but JJ's basketball needle method will probably work better. Just put the needle on the end you drop into the quart of water.
