    How to test fan clutch operation?

    i think you just try to turn it, while the car is off obviously, and if theres some resistance to it then its in good condition. if it spins freely then you should replace it. i've read that on sf before and someone just mentioned that in a recent thread today i believe.

    brake noise on my dd

    the marks are in a 360 pattern all the way around the rotor. the grinded area might be about a half inch wide at most. the pads i bought are bendix, they were the "top of the line" at advanced. i'm not sure if the rotors have ever been replaced, but doubt they have. maybe that'll help you help...

    7mgte project build input

    i m soo annoyed!!, Moving to Plan B

    does it smell like coolant in the inside of the car? the heater core goes out a lot in our cars and leaks all over the passenger side carpet. coolant would disappear in my car and it turned out to be the heater core. check the floor in your car to see if theres coolant.

    i just talked to a guy at my shop and right when i mentioned the arp rod bolts he said they'd have to resize the rods once installed. so he knows what he's doing so i should be set.
