    Oil in the Valley...How, Why????

    Plug galley doesn't have a gasket....it's your valve covers.....put your valve covers on a very flat surface and see if they are warped....you may need to use some rtv gasket maker...

    Randomly Turned Off On Me???

    Don't know...I don't know what codes he is throwing if any....but maybe his cold start injector is flooding his motor...maybe his cold start enrichment system isn't working correctly!? You are not supposed to let a car sit and idle for extended periods of time...with fuel injection you should...

    Randomly Turned Off On Me???

    Cold or not there is no excuse for the car to act this way......other than something is wrong! Dude you need to check codes and report back....one must learn to check codes as it's a damn good way to learn what's wrong!

    n/a advice

    i too have a fidanza flywheel....i also have a single piece aluminum driveshaft....and no it doesnt respond well! what you feel is pure ass dyno...placebo effect! yes it changes a bit but 5hp if that which you will never ever feel....yeah rpms drop faster but the car is no more powerful and...

    n/a advice

    The 7mge does not respond well at all to bolt on's!!! You are beating your dick against the wall getting an exhaust system etc as you won't see power gains! Going with a diff throttle again won't get you power as the stock throttle is the perfect size! Toyota pretty much maxed this motor out...

    driveshaft is loose in the center. Center bearing bad?

    No you don't need an sst....what you will need is $260 to buy a new one from Toyota:-( now the bearing is supported by rubber which let's the driveshaft move around...your bearing may indeed be fine as new or used you can grab the ds and move it freely so to speak...the question I have is...

    Randomly Turned Off On Me???

    Clutch switch has ZERO relation to this problem! Too the op: how is your speedo working? Or is it working at all? This problem only show it face when slowing down? Only does it when rpms drop when clutch is pushed in? What is your idle speed when this is happening? Did you check codes...

    suspension install too expensive?

    uuum no! Again our stock springs don't have alot of stored energy when the shock is completely extended....maybe enough to toss the top spring mount 6" in the air....it's not a big deal! Sure maybe if you had custom shortened shocks this could be an issue but not the stock...

    suspension install too expensive?

    You have not a clue...undo the top shock mount from the body but don't undo the nut in the center holding the shock...the spring won't go anywhere!! Either way undoing the mount from the shock doesn't send parts flying with great force! The stock springs don't have alot of stored energy as you...

    suspension install too expensive?

    its a 5 hour job max...if it takes you longer then you need to be hit in the head with a tack hammer....that shop cant be charging much more than $100 an hour....they are fucking con artists!!!!! that just blows my mind! its fucking crazy what people pay other people to work on their cars...

    steam cleaners...engine cleaning?

    so i was browsing the net for cleaners and ive seen what steam will do as far as cleaning...hell i had a coolant hose blow in a prelude i had once and it striped the damn paint right off the metal...so i figured these would be good to use for cleaning the engine bay if caution was used...

    BHG - can i drive it to a mechanic??

    no....but water collects on cooler areas.....obviously he didnt blow the gasket enough to cause water to pour into the block...if its just water vapor then you would definetly see it on the oil cap.....water vapor shouldnt hurt the bearings as we have a pcv system

    BHG - can i drive it to a mechanic??

    the crank does not become unbalanced....and no rodknock is not called spun bearings...spun bearings are spun bearings...rod knock is rod knock...although one can lead to the other they are indeed different! too the op: the milky shit on the oil cap can be from vapor or steam...aslong as your...
