    If you sent it to a real radiator shop, they will tell you or not if it went bad.

    Unsure of Overheating Cause

    I bought a new one being that mine was 23 years old. No over heating, but I didn't want to wait. $500 with discount and when it showed up I came unglued. Nippondenso, but made in China. I don't care that it is made in China. Fine, then correct the price. This Supra I own is the last Toyota I...

    The technician shortage is getting worse

    Not so. For example, I don't know anybody professionally that would have had to make your post on over heating and not knowing the cause or where to look. I'm not picking, just pointing. There is a difference.

    The technician shortage is getting worse

    This is a big part of it, but Toyota Motor Corp out of Japan is not the cause. This is an American market problem.

    The fluid can also eject in a moment, but that isn't as common as you all busting your load.

    Unsure of Overheating Cause

    Boost is not relevant, airflow from going 15 mph and going at a light steady cruise at 65 mph are completely different. That is a huge amount of airflow over the heat exchanger.

    Cooling issues

    Heat transfer doesn't work that way. It doesn't get back to 200 in 3 minutes when you shut down the cooling system. In fact, that is why Three Mile Island had its melt down. Fix all your defects like not having a thermostat and leaks. Then we can move forward.

    87 Build Problems

    What 2 fuses? If you are getting power to your headlamp relay, then the integration relay is not turning them on by grounding the circuit. That can be several reasons, including the multifunction switch.

    foiled engine :p

    Even if he meant aluminum foil, that is still wrong. And I doubt it was a product from Reynolds, but is engine damage.

    Reman Starter Grinding (Denso)

    You can roll the flywheel over while the starter is out and look at the teeth. You may or may not be surprised.

    Reman Starter Grinding (Denso)

    A bad flywheel or flex plate. Meaning the grinding noise. I didn't watch the video. You need to do voltage drop on the large wire. One probe at the starter, the other on the battery. About .1 or .2 at the most through the connections. Bosch, who sells starters, once stated that 80% of the...

    Can you turn over the crank bolt with a long wratchet/breaker bar? You can check while the battery is charging.
