    Motor mounts?

    I don't think the round and square mounts are interchangable. When I did my second swap themotor came with newer round motor mounts. They were a different length though, so I didn't use them. I have an 87 that uses a dampner with the square motor mounts.

    Pulling an Engine.

    A chain "come along" will also work, if attached properly to something stout enough to hold the weight of the engine. I used one to remove my GTE from my first soup. Car was totaled, so I just undid the front sub-frame and suspension, and raised the car over it. motor and tranny with wheels...

    WTF did I just got owned by this coolant system? *PICS*

    Def use the NAPA kit. Looks like a turkey baster with three chambers. You put some chemical in two of the chambers. Start the car with the rad cap off. You hold the tool over the opening of the radiator and pump the ball drawing in steam and other gases coming out of the radiator. If there is...

    alternator

    Your missing a bracket. It looks like a banana with a small threaded piece that runs the length of it. It bolts to the timimg cover (I think).

    I bet if you go back to a stock intake youll gain about 5 more horse over that K&N ripoff, seriously.

    If your talking about the clutch slave cylinder, then yes. Don't know about the line but I think it is too. Different that is.

    Does copper spray dry?

    So I'm midway through my BHG fix. Taking my time, double checking everything, did the KS rewire while it was apart, everything is going very smoothly. Only running 15 pounds right now so I sent the head out and new seals put in, valves lightly lapped, etc. Checked the block, and it was in spec...

    I'm the dumbest supra owner ever

    You sir are no nornal joe, you are an SM expert, and one smart mofo. But my point still remains, there should be a warning. I don't gamble, ever, but if I did I'd lay a hundred bucks on someone toasting their meter if they use this stuff. You in the long run are also right, it could have been...

    I'm the dumbest supra owner ever

    No you mentioned people using this product without a problem. That would be a fluke. The same thing could happen with Pam, you fucky fucky no disease. If Windex said it would clean plastic without damaging it I would. I kinda thought that if there was a little dirt on the mirror, this...

    Is it possible to replace clutch on the ground?

    Me too, a friend is almost required. Read the TSRM before you start, if I remember correctly, the pressure plate comes off with the tranny (after you unbolt it of course).

    I'm the dumbest supra owner ever

    Just got off the phone with CRC technical service, and they said "I don't recommend you use this because it can crack and/or tarnish the mirror" verbatim.
