    oil disappearing, help?

    That is what I was thinking too. He is just burning it. A higher mileage car burns more than a lower milage car. The guy starts burning a little oil and you all start calling out blown head gasket.

    Oil thru Plugs!? What?!

    Actually, it is running down from the valve cover into the sparkplugs. If it was blowby, you would be smoking like a cheap cigar. But then again, who did the rebuild?

    Go ahead and pull codes. That is an easy check. Look for the ECT open or short code.

    Dumb hydrofan question

    I wouldn't do it. Toyota did it on a few models, and then has gone away. I wouldn't do it because I already have a working fan clutch.

    oil temp gauge - install?

    Why are you attempting to do things you don't know how to do? What do you do for a living? I don't get on medical boards and ask how to perform surgery on my neighbor.

    Dumb hydrofan question

    Instead of using an electric motor when the crankshaft can't drive the fan, a hydraulic circuit was devoloped to push the fan. It works, besides cars, many pieces of heavy equipment use it, as the radiator is not inline with the engine.

    problem after car has been sitting

    I will think about it in the morning, if somebody else doesn't first. For a moment I thought your converter might be locked.

    Knocking noise investigation/engine rebuild

    IJ, I am pretty sure the factory wants a 400 grit stone for honing. I know it isn't in the book, are you wanting this for a clean up job? I didn't read the whole thread, it just caught my attention.

    boost problem, not boost leak

    I don't think that is too abnormal, the boost drop when hot. An aftermarket blow off valve replacing the stock bypass valve can cause stalling if it isn't recirculated. It could be leaking. Since you rev the engine, filling it with fuel, and closing the plate is exactly why the stock bypass...

    Throttle Valve, Our line on the throttle is only used to raise main line pressure. I will back up a bit. When you accelerate, the cable pulls on throttle valve. As the speed increases, the governor valve creates more pressure than the throttle, forcing an upshift. When you put the pedal to...

    89 supra Transmission problem

    If he had a TV cable, I would tell him to adjust it. But we don't so pull codes and look for the speed sensor.
