I understood everything in the 3rd post. About running, etc, and using the light on the cams. Doesn't change a thing. You're the one confused...

^ What he said, although I wouldn't go near Freeze 12...

The engine isn't in fuel control. Until you get it there Vf will be meaningless....

^ What I use too although any filter is better than nothing. The best one is a true hydraulic filter. And don't be putting it in the high pressure side. That would be bad...

Interesting thread. Especially the Bulgar-english ;) OP: The igniter does not supply voltage to the coil packs, it supplies ground. And it must be connected to the chassis to do so...

Most of that stuff can be flushed in situ...

Lmao....

Talk about killing an ant with a sledgehammer. While it'll somewhat work theres a lot wrong in a strict technical sense with that procedure and I don't recommend it be used.

^ I was wondering the same thing. Assuming he has no boost controller to abuse in what manner could the mechanic have driven the car to "blow" a brand new turbo that would've been different from a manner the owner himself would drive it? That aside I would have told him to take it up with a...

Lmao. I give up. You can't be serious...

There are several explanations for the perceived loss of preload he observed and there's nothing that says his gasket would have failed if he'd done nothing. I realize it flies in the face of common wisdom here (which is why I rarely get involved) but retorque also flies in the face of long...

Agree. I reused them and never did a retorque. Don't believe in it. 56k miles later I'm still happy. Been working on cars all my life. Never done a retorque and never had a problem. Never had a factory manual that said I must. Never heard of a competent shop telling a customer to come back for...

Hmmm. Flush it: drain what's in there, add an ounce or two of mineral oil, turn the shaft a few times and again drain. Then add the full charge. My TSRM says 80cc +/- 20 for a compressor overhaul. My other AC books (and what I can find online) specify 3.5 oz for total system capacity up to 1990...

It's a decent price, just that over the years they went from 16 to 14 to 12 oz. Hassle to use too. I'll stick with my 30 pounders and a heated charging cylinder ;) Normally with those little cans I charge with liquid but better you charge with vapor. All the oil you need is what's in the...

Only 12 oz? Those cans sure have shrunk over time.

You tell me. Maybe it's old wiring. Or maybe it's because these cars need bigger grounds. lol...

My thoughts are you shouldn't listen to anything people in parts stores say. And fwiw iridium has a melting point of nearly 4500 F...

I should have been more clear so I'll try again: he's right. A new head gasket is in your future. I can almost guarantee it...
