    seat belts too short

    Dealerships used to be required to supply belt extensions for free. I think they still are, although finding the part to fit this old a car may be trouble. It's just a pair of connectors (M & F) on a short piece of belt.Next, eat less. For the rest of your life. Here, this off-topic will...

    Good Mechanical Boost Controller (In Car)

    It's easier to just use the throttle pedal. It's the skinny one on the right. When you want less boost, don't push it down as far.Seriously.Having "adjustable" boost, or "two stages" or whatever other kind of carnival crap on the power output of an engine is not merely pointless, but it's...

    OEM Timing Belt or aftermarket? [Merged 7-8] belts

    Stop obsessing. Any new belt will be fine. "Stretching" is not an issue, and failure of new belts -as opposed to being installed out-of-time- is unheard of. There are no "cheap" belts being made. It's too complex an operation to bother trying to make clones of.

    Coolant drains really fast, Help?

    Or there's a crack in the overflow line and it's sucking back air instead of coolant- make sure the snorkel tube in the inside of the expansion ("overflow") tank reaches to the bottom. Also look for cracks in the overflow tank.

    Cut your losses (and, ours). Take it to an independent shop that deals with AC service. It may be as simple as needing a charge (good luck finding that Freon), a belt, an adjustment, or a leak, or it may be as complex as a failed compressor, clutch, or even the AC control unit (which has not...

    Running hot??

    Get a $30 infrared thermometer and check your radiator's heat pattern.You can skip turning on the heater. DSMs are full-flow, full-time, and all you're doing is moving an air control flap. They don't run a water valve to the heater core.

    Broken Hard Brake Line Question

    Why did it break? If rust was involved, a patch will only find the next weak spot. It may fail in a place where the backstop's not so soft as a deer.... or, a few hundred feet down a canyon.

    egt probe after turbo?

    Pointless. Well, even more pointless than an EGT gauge, which on a street car is just another "Too Late" gauge. Your turbo runs on heat, not pressure. It converts that heat to kinetic energy and depletes it as it spins up.Damaging exhaust temperatures occur so quickly in a mis-tuned engine...

    Valvoline Engine Guarantee

    Engine parts don't fail because of oil. They fail because of a lack of oil, which isn't the oil's fault. Send us a sample of oil from the failed engine, we'll run it through the lab and let you know.Gimmick.

    Dealer measured crank endplay, .0094", but no symptoms, what next?

    If it's already made 90K, I'm with those who say to let it run. There's no telling how soon or if it will fail, but turbo motors are pretty used-up by 130~150, generally. Start saving for the next motor. Or, car.

    Over run???

    And you're washing the oil off the rings and cylinder walls, leading to scuffing and scoring. If it's enough too-much, you can also dilute your oil and destroy the engine's bearing. Everywhere.Engines don't put up with "just a little off", and the less so for turbocharged ones. Do it right...

    how to check if valves in head are good

    Turn it upside down, rotate the cams so the valves are closed in a given combustion chamber, and pour it full of kerosene. After thirty minutes, make sure none has leaked.Or better, disassemble the head and examine the valves and seats. Hand-lap them at least.
