Mine had poorly spliced connectors on it, so I replaced them with new connectors and proper crimps. In this pic the red wire is going to the contact on the right side of the plug. The contact on the bottom of the plug is the red/white wire, and...
You'll need an adapter that has M10x1.0 female threads on one end and a banjo fitting on the other. I did a quick search but I'm not seeing such an adapter in the usual places. May take some digging. When I installed my Outlander brakes I ordered...
Sorry totally no offence, just a little correction for the future reference.
It's opposite, it's not to open, it's to close. While the oil is cold, it's taking both routes (cooler bypass port and cooler) to get into the engine. When the oil temp...
Hopefully you always let your car warm up sufficiently before driving it hard anyway. Getting the oil warmed quickly is definitely beneficial for a daily driven car that you just start up and go every day.
The big brass “knob”? That’s the thermostatic valve for the oil cooler. When the oil gets hot it opens and allows some of the oil to be routed to the cooler.
Copper gets brittle from heat, which makes the fine strands break easier just past the point of the solder. Not to mention it makes a stiff spot. You'll never find a soldered joint in an oem harness for a reason.
I won't say I'm an expert at ANYTHING, LOL, but if locktite is holding my converter bolts from loosening up and my crank sprocket up front, if it were mine, I'd use the glue and let it set up for a few days. It doesn't see that much heat, but I'd...
Thats how it was my first year at Illinois... The university definitely wasnt gonna be keen on emergency DSM maintenance in the dorm parking lot either...
Maybe the OP can shed some light on what attracted them to this car in the first place. If a reliable ride to school is the priority, a good used Prius C would be better than a 20 year old Chrysler.If they want a Fast and Furious turbo kit mod...
When rebuilding electrical components like distributors, wiper motors, crank angle sensors, etc. there is usually a little vent in the housing that is stuffed with a fibrous/sponge-like filter material. Presumably this is to allow hot gases to...
How do you support the other side while peening them? With a throttle body its easy enough to support the head of the screw with a small socket or something on the workbench while hitting the threaded end of the screw and therefore no chance of...
For those who have replaced the seal in their cyclone manifold: when you put it back together and re-installed the little throttle plate screws did you peen the back side to keep them from backing out? If so, how? I can't see any easy way to do...
I’ve used diluted purple degreaser on steel parts and they came out great. Of course with lifters you’ll want to make sure they’re thoroughly flushed out after to remove any debris that may have come loose inside.
I have not cleaned lifters and rockers specifically, but I have cleaned many other parts in an ultrasonic with excellent results. Using the right cleaning solution for a specific task is key. The ultrasonic just takes it to another level and...
