    Toyota Red Coolant = ?

    The G05 is providing excellent service in 3 of my cars...all Toyota.

    A/T won't shift out of 1st when cold

    The fluid get hot and drops in viscosity like it's supposed to. Plus, who knows how the Sea Foam reacted with the old ATF. Hope this is a lesson...never use any motor oil or ATF additive/cleaner. For gasoline additives the only ones worth using are those that contain polyether amine. PEA is...

    A/T won't shift out of 1st when cold

    Well...you need to change the filter and do a real flush. That is going to take at least 10 quarts of ATF. The Sea Foam may have broke some crap loose and restricted the filter screen. The drain and fill only replaced a third of the fluid...even though it looked clean, it wasn't if it had a...

    A/T won't shift out of 1st when cold

    You dropped the pan and changed the filter too? Before or after the Sea Foam? How did you flush the tranny? Was it before or after the Sea Foam?

    Titan headgasket for my rebuild?

    Titan is made by Cometic. It's on par with the other bead type MHGs, including the Greddy and HKS. With all MHGs, the block and head surfaces have to be decked to meet the RA (smoothness) spec...for the Cometic it's 50 RA. I highly suggest you determine how much material is removed from the...

    A/T won't shift out of 1st when cold

    You added Sea Foam to your ATF? :3d_frown: Another victim of the snake oil salesman...I would drain the tranny, drop the pan and change the filter. Then flush with fresh ATF (not just fill)...make sure you use Dex III. I use Castrol Import ATF...Mobil 1 would be a good choice too. I...

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I've got that EOTech sight on my shorty AR-15. It's nice, especially for short range work.

    Coolant system flush

    Did you use Prestone Heavy Duty Cleaner? It's a two part powdered product that includes a neutralizer. If not get some oxalic acid from a chemical supply or ebay, it's the same chemical used in the Prestone. Neutralize with sodium carbonate (soda ash). If this doesn't clean it out, nothing...

    How good are Cometic MHGs?

    ^^^ Even then, the Cometic spec is 50RA...still has to be flat and very smooth.

    Different 7mgte's

    The oil pressure sensor on the "new" JDM engine is also different. You will fry your guage unless it's swapped out.

    Toyota Red Coolant = ?

    The Zyrex G05 Grim posted (#10) earlier in this thread is as good or better than the Toyota Red and less expensive. I've used both and either will provide excellent service. The HOAT technology G05 uses has superior corrosion control in both steel and aluminum IMO. A coolant filter is a...

    can"t find bad idle and loping....

    That "fuzz" is an air filter...there is no vac line to the dashpot. One look at the TSRM would have told you that...it might be a good idea to start reading it ;) (just a novel idea)

    coolant additives

    How about none of the above ;) On a well functioning cooling system, these type additives are not required. I would only use one if I was running 100% water in a track car. Using these additives in combination with certain coolants (Toyota Red is one) can cause a slime like deposit in...

    What filter to use with filter relocatation?

    You need to read this: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42763 The only Toyota filter I would ever use is the Denso Japan filters...the Thailand filters are crap. The only thing a larger filter will do for you is increase the capacity to hold more particulates...basically...

    Redline 0w-40

    You've never heard of Red Line Oils? What rock are you living under ;) Read the spec sheet OneJ posted in the 1st post. Red Line is an ester based Grp V oil, GC is a PAO based Grp IV oil...different base stock, but both are true synthetics. Ester is probably the best base stock out there...

    Temperature at the Radiator?

    Like I said earlier, below 176 deg F the ECU is in warm-up enrichment. Above 210 deg F the ECU pulls timing.

    Temperature at the Radiator?

    That is perfect...right at the OEM thermostat temp rating and is what the ECU expects to "see". Means your cooling system is in good shape and has the excess capacity to handle OAT changes.

    Water vapor from valve covers

    Sure it is, especially considering where the OP lives like JJ said. Plus, want to guess what one of the major byproducts of combustion is?
