So I dropped my rad at a shop that seemed legit, they do rad repairs along with everything else and had the cleanest shop I've ever seen. They called me later and quoted me $180 to block the core and would have to ship it out to be done.... So I went to another place that just did radiators...

Hmmm yeah I'm thinking I might do the pinch technique. Think the pinch technique would last a couple months till I can afford a performance rad because I need suspension too my shocks and springs are stock and my cars like those rubber bouncy balls so I have to drive real slow pretty much all...

It's a stock 89 radiator. So if it has plastic end tanks that's bad? Getting another used stock radiator wouldn't be any different than the one I have except a small hole being in one of the cores. Don't really understand the reasoning. Getting it repaired would put it in better shape than...

It's a small hole in one of the cores from falling on something. Not even really dented in just a little hole. Not sure what you mean by plastic tank but everything is solid besides where it hit. Are you saying that taking it to a rad shop to get repaired doesn't work or the fix it yourself...

Wow dude I'm glad it's busted because I wouldn't of known about this if it didn't. Lookin forward to a clean radiator :biglaugh:

I'm really curious if my car will start... I had my engine out for a couple months replacing oil squirters shimming oil relief springs and replacing a bunch of old parts like water pump, installed a permacool ps cooler and all new hoses/gaskets. I'm really curious if it's payed off. Is it okay...

That's really interesting I would of never thought about the needle nose trick even if I was in a jam in the middle of nowhere.. Thanks for that I'll definitely remember that for when it counts. Looks like I'll be getting a quote on monday when specialty shops are open. My radiator is...

Good idea I'd much rather have this one repaired then drop money on another stock radiator.

I was just putting fluids in my car and about to fire her up for the first in a couple months and the radiator has a small hole in it. Apparently it fell over from being propped against my workbench at some point when I was tearing into my engine but anyways I can see the little hole and the...

Trying to find bolts specs for what hold the shifter boot down where exactly in that link are the specs I can't find em for interior...

That's it thanks! I was looking in articles dunno why I didn;t see it

I remember seeing a thread on here or somewhere else about a guy doing the sogi mod with a bunch of pictures. He also deleted the whole upper section of the shifter by heating it and removing the rubber tubing inside. Then he threaded the stock shifter head on the lower portion of the shifter...

I already got one I didn't wanna wait for ebay shipping and the radio shack 40 watt should do just fine. If I find I need to solder more than once in 2weeks then I'll upgrade to the weller.

I heard that most afm cleaners are basically shit and cloud up the mirrors inside the afm anyway. Could be wrong but that's my impression atm. I stopped using universal shit on my engine looong ago in fear of messing it up.

That is a bad ass chart! I was referring to the nut that goes on the lower half of the actual mount on the 89+ round mounts. Today I actually rubbed the bolt threads on a piece of paper and brought them to Love ladies which is an insane hardware store in my area about 4x more useful than...

Zumtizz hooked me up with this, haven't tried it out yet but it has 10 more watts then my previous one and seems legit. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062738

Woot! That's it right side. Thanks zum I dunno how many more times you could possibly save the day... haha

I got a new carrier bearing for my 89 7mgte r154 tranny and theres a leg coming out of it at a 45deg angle on one side and i can't remember which side that faces when installed... It's really bugging me cause I don't wanna put it on till I know for sure I've looked all over online and there's...

Awesome looks like next time if I don't have a new one I'll be removing the bumper and fascia. I like gaboon's idea a chain hoist would be badass I'll have to look into that. The rafters up top are nice and solid.

Sounds good to me, appreciate all the help.
