    Cadillac pills

    Do these work better in plain water or 50/50 mix, or doesn't it really matter?

    Happy New Year!

    Everyone on this board has treated me so nicely even though I don't have a turbo Buick. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy New Year, and may 2003 treat us all well! :)

    Head gaskets... (again)

    Hi guys, merry Christmas! :) Around the beginning of the month, there was a thread about street heads and gaskets. Is there any reason NOT to use copper gaskets? Does anyone have any feedback on the Cometic multi-layer-steel gaskets yet? I might put some different heads on my SBC, so I...

    Tranny cost

    Hi guys. A buddy of mine (with a Camaro) wants to go 10s with a 700R4. I'm trying to tell him the 200/4R is better. :) He wants to know how much a stout one would cost plus a transbrake and a Vigilante 4000RPM non-lockup single disk converter. Any estimates or advice?

It seems the only difference was a threaded hole for the oil from the...

    New guy needs info

    Hi, I'm TheNovaMan. I have had a casual interest in turbo Buicks for a few years now, and I think it's time I learn more about them (especially engine tech). Does anyone have any suggestions as to what books and magazines would be good starting points for the learning process? Thanks!
