    Why do supras HG always blow anyway?

    I have never ever seen a low mileage 7M headgasket just blow. You don't have to be low on coolant to over heat the engine either.

    Military Body Armor

    What do you think AWD is? That is how a viscous coupling works, and your fan clutch also. When you heat it, it solidifies. If the soldier is immoblized by it, he will take it off on his own.

    Military Ray Gun Makes People Feel Like They're on Fire

    Well, if a magnetron can cook food, it will do the same to you.

    Why do supras HG always blow anyway?

    If the car is low on coolant, it is going to cavitate anyway. And yes, I am in the Anbar province. No, I am not in the military.

    Oil pressure questions for a GE

    How high do you think it should be? Pressure, which is resistance to flow, will drop as the vehicle ages. The bearings open up, and the oil flows through the passages easier, showing a lower number on the gauge. That would be typical.

    Why do supras HG always blow anyway?

    EGR will not do it. Funny thing about that EGR. People delete it saying it only goes in the one cylinder because of the mounting, then turn around and install a front facing manifold and say it will distribute to all the cylinders, even though the layout is the same. Go figure about Supra...

    Best head gasket: cometic vs hks , etc

    And you are correct. You just need to have a good tune for street gas.

    15w40 okay?

    I highly suggest you ignore everything else they tell you. That has to be one of the stupidest suggestions there is. And the internet is polluted with similar ideas. Going 5W-30 is a good decision on your part. Yeah, no shit. ;)

    Why do supras HG always blow anyway?

    First of all, they don't all blow. In fact, of the dozen or so that are mine or known personally through immediate relatives, I have seen one go. And it was an intentional tuning error by me. Yep. Being low on coolant causes a cavity near 5 and 6 according to Toyota. Not necessarily a local...

    Best head gasket: cometic vs hks , etc

    And a note to the first few responses. All head gaskets require a flat surface. Surface roughness is where the difference is.

    flex downpipe neccessary

    If you wonder why there is a flex pipe, maybe you could check with automotive manufacturers that put them on many many applications. The car can twist a small amount on the road. The flex pipe keeps it from breaking as noted.

    MAF questions

    The main reason I will neve use the MAF-Translator is GM's history with making mass air flow sensors is not exactly quality. I would consider the MAFT-Pro which converts to speed density.

    89-92 Tranny

    The gears and guts of the transmissions are the same, wether it is the A340E, A340F or A340. With the exception of later models with upgrades to clutch packs in different models. The different models will have different mounting for different vehicles, or 4WD, or whatever it is being used in.
