I believe that GSXR has developed some “first name basis” relationships with a couple of RedLine engineers over the years ins his quest for...

OK I got it running, that dodgy wiring was spliced into the factory wiring so I cut it away and bridge the wires together from the factory harness. I...

Wow! I have missed that totally.

May I get you two a drink? :D On a side note :D :D :D I am open to all offers on these wheels, need room! :)

Also forgot to mention. Cleared codes when I got back to the house. Stalling on its own did not generate any new codes. Sent from my iPhone...

Replace the insulators...

Updated Post 510 with what I accomplished today. Dave, as far as I can tell the insulators are original. The schmutz on the back would not wipe...

Your caps & rotors looked pretty normal, appears you cleaned them up (which is what I'd have done). But is that schmutz on the back of the...

I might be one of those who could be the most qualified to tell tales of cooling system failures. I lived with a blown head gasket for nearly five...

No doubt on the valve /guides seals, head gasket, machine heads, replace all vac lines and rubber connections. Chain,upper and lower guides, crank...

OK a quick rundown of what I was able to 'check out' today. After I got home, I let the car cool down before I started diagnosing. Symptoms after...

I've used Redline Water Wetter ever since I lived in Florida. As Jono states, if you live somewhere that allows a lower throw in your coolant/water...

We buy it by the case here... prolly go through 50 something bottles a year..maybe more. We also run a lighter coolant mix this far south. ...

Hardly. I believe 630k mi (1,014,000km) is the leader in the clubhouse. https://www.500eboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3817

It's hard to say how much a good refirb would cost, without more details about the car, year, VIN, options, and so forth. $10K would be a starting...

Thankyou very much Duh Vinci – glad you like the progress thus far. I wish things could progress faster but with Architecture work commitments it’s...

I did not progress this test unfortunately. I did have a sample piece painted except for the POR15. I did not want to open the can and lose the...

I had a hissing sound from the expansion tank (replaced a few years ago), thought it was the hoses but turned out to be a faulty original cap.....

At least the snow is gone.

It does better with lower percentages of coolant mix, so if you need 50/50 for winter climates, there may not be a noticeable change in summer.

MB dealers, years ago, used to administer BG44K as a "treatment" for cars they felt needed it. I have a stealership record for my 560SEC back in the...

I've never been convinced that RedLine Water Wetter reduces temperatures enough to actually click the "1-Click" button on Amazon to get some. Seen...

Currently sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. It decided to have a repeat of its ‘no start when hot’ behavior that it displayed...

All 1981-1985 "Gen 1" V-8s are either going to be 3.8-liter M116s, or 5.0-liter M117s. The "Gen 2" V-8s are 4.2-liter M116s, and both 5.0 and...

I'm not certain. Gerry and Jono are the resident M117 experts. I believe the ECE cams were hotter, but any increase in compression may require some...

Jono.....or someone....a couple of words about Redline Water Wetter?......or are you going to tell me to use the SEARCH button?

I'm NOT saying that Rein is always (or even often) good stuff. It does appear that they (at least for some parts) are re-boxing like Febi with the...
