    Anyone Use VHT Engine Enamel for Exhaust Manifold?

    If u decide to use vht use the high temp ones that go to 2000F the manifold gets as hot as 1600F i believe. That 550 isnt gonna do anything cause the exhaust parts are hotter than that temp range.

    Timing Belt tensioner haynes vs vfaq???

    I understand exactly what ## saying, the haynes manual doesn `t mention that until re-install it only says to remove the pulley then the tensioner bolts and the timing belt will come off just wondering if thats all i had to do.

    Timing Belt tensioner haynes vs vfaq???

    Doing a timing belt job on a 95 tsi awd when reading through the haynes book it states to remove the tensioner pulley bolt and push towards water pump to remove then remove tensioner bolts and remove it then timing belt. But in the vfaq it states to use the special tool to push the tensioner pin...

    The t-25 doesn't have the size to get u anywhere near 400whp. If i was u i would make sure my maintenance was up to date and look into a good clutch and flywheel combo.

    oh okay, I just figured after I swapped the tires and went for that initial test drive to check, the car would still drive wrong due to the misdirection of the tires but i get it.

    Steering pulling to the right

    Okay ill try the tire swap and bearing check. Also, and forgive me if im wrong, i don't have expertise in the alignment aspect but if i put an opposite direction tire on the other side would it affect my test anyhow seeing as the tread pattern would be going against the back tires pattern?
