    rod knock?

    Many engines use the same threading for the filter, but I do believe there are a few variations. Just go buy a cheapo. :dunno:

    just curious

    If you only drained the radiator, then you will be risking some block damage with the block full of plain water. You need to drain the block too. There is a drain bolt under the exhaust manifold. Isn't cheap antifreeze like ~10 bucks?

    rod knock?

    Or do what IJ suggested and do it using the injector clips. No shock hazard doing that. ;)

    Oil Flow vs Pressure

    Not with higher weight oil... I'm no expert like the others, but here it goes: You have a worn engine. Fact. That engine will show lower pressure than a stock engine. Your bearings have more clearance(or space) between the rotating metal and the static metal (rod and bearing). This...

    me and my brothers work

    Another vote, for not religious at all, and normally can't stand religious "messages" but that was very impressive and respectable work. Plus the Forest Whitaker-ish dude speaking sort of drew me in, lol.

    Who would have thought?

    HO---LY .........fuck. Awesome in every sense of the word. And in my eyes, not something a first lady would likely do to gain popularity with the older voting crowd.

    Very loud belt squeal, pulley problem or belt?

    Well I started the car tonight after 12 hours at school.... ugh. Anywho, the squeal started right away. I stopped the car after maybe 15 seconds and felt the belt and pulley. The pulley was extremely hot. So I'll be getting a new one tomorrow. For now the belt is removed and my engine is...

    Very loud belt squeal, pulley problem or belt?

    I'll remove it tonight, but on the car it felt normal. Not noticeably hard or soft. :dunno: While on the car, the belt looks just fine. I can try to post some pics of it when I pull it tonight.

    Very loud belt squeal, pulley problem or belt?

    So on my NA I have a nasty squeal that developed on my drive home from work last night. It is most definitely drive belt related, most likely the AC belt. I couldn't tell exactly where the noise was coming from, but it smelled like burning belt(rubber). So I turned the car off and felt the belts...

    Targa-less body flex

    FWIW, I checked through all subframe bolts and all were tight. The targas have a lot of flex in good working, stock form. I can't imagine how bad it'd be with loose sub-frame bolts too...

    Wet Sanding

    Either that or use a bucket of water and a regular old sanding block.

    rod knock?

    hmm.. I could see if that was an extremely loose pulley perhaps... Check belts, use a mechanics stethoscope, try to narrow down the location of the noise. Did you try pulling plug wires to check if it is localized in one or more cylinders?

    ever had a real asshole moment?

    Definitely had those moments. I try not to get too worked up now, but every now and then everyone has those heated moments of little reason.

    rod knock?

    By bearing clatter, do you perhaps mean rod knock? :dunno: If not how is bearing clatter any different from rod knock? Sounds like a different name for the same disease...

    My supra was hit today.. yup. (PICS)

    Sadly, it doesn't seem he gives a shit either way. Too bad I'm too far to buy it from him...
