    *MHG Reuse*

    Yeah, I can suggest that if purchasing from Pep Boys, use Acetone, not the paint thinner. Got it all back together, though. I had to get a Time Sert installed in plug #6 because some genious (myself) was a retard and didn't put Anti-Sieze on the plugs... Looks like it's time to put the CHT on...

    Head/Spark Plug Insert Question

    Here's the page that has the part numbers. Also do you recommend pulling the head to ensure that no shavings get down inside the cylinder bore?

    Head/Spark Plug Insert Question

    Does that sound right for the insert length? Or would we want an insert that's slightly longer than the threaded portion of our spark plug?

    Head/Spark Plug Insert Question

    I've just stripped #6 spark plug hole (because I didn't use never-sieze, and I indexed them a bit too much). I've already decided Time Sert is the ONLY way to go. However I'm trying to hunt down the exact thread pitch I need, that way there is absolutely NO animosity about what needs to be...

    Low RPM boost A/F

    I don't worry about AFR's that lean until I hit 5psi, once I get to 5psi I try to nail them down to 11.5 or richer, but I am running MAFT-PRO as well...

    EGT / Pyrometer Guage Range, CHT Cylinder Head Temp Tap??

    Thanks for the great info. Was aware of K & J type probes, but not about the HKS guage, and proper ranges. I kinda figured it was an air cooled thing with the CHT. A bunch of CHT guages I dug up were either OEM VW or VDO guages.

    EGT / Pyrometer Guage Range, CHT Cylinder Head Temp Tap??

    Yeah I grew up around airplanes as a kid since my dad was an A&P (Airframe & Powerplant) mechanic for Continental, Pan-Am and others. Nothing like being 10 years old, and getting to sit in the cockpit of a 737 and play in one while dad's working on it. Ever since I've loved the old school...

    EGT / Pyrometer Guage Range, CHT Cylinder Head Temp Tap??

    I'm looking to get an EGT Guage and I'm unsure of the range necessary for accurate readings. Reason I ask is I'm looking to get some guages and I have a number of different ranges to select from. Also does anyone know of a location (or the ideal location) to tap/mount a CHT Cylinder Head...

    Rusty's Roof Scoop Sunroof Insert

    I don't recall asking if you wanted to see it. Feel free to step out of the thread if you've nothing of consequence to add. See my post three posts prior to yours. It's not a joke.

    Rusty's Roof Scoop Sunroof Insert

    1. Original post wasn't meant as a troll. 2. Apparently the rest of you assuming I drive a MKIII are guilty of skimming as well. I drive an 85 MKII 7M-GTE w/ 406hp and no AC. Fuck YES I need this. 3. It's functional, and was a prototype, I don't give two shits about what it looks like. It...

    Rusty's Roof Scoop Sunroof Insert

    When drilling out the holes in the top portion of the roof scoop I was pushing too hard and broke the drill bit. I managed to punch the unbroken portion of the bit through my left thumb which was several inches down & away damn near to the bone. I have a nice hourglass shaped hole in my...

    Rusty's Roof Scoop Sunroof Insert

    I was going to keep the clutter down and just post this in my engine buildup/car thread. But instead since I didn't read the notification about posting in old threads clearly, I posted it here. I have no AC. At the time I made a foolhardy decision to remove all the AC components from my car...

    MKII Airflow / Streamlines - Wind Tunnel Testing / 2d Model

    I'm in the process of creating pressure, temp, mach, airflow/streamline, density renderings for the MKII Supra. This is so those of us consindering chopping up our hoods for functional vents can place them in the proper position. Also one of my "bucket list" goals is to set a land speed record...
