    ANTI-FREEZE & ENGINE BEARINGS

    Just a trivial question I'm not sure about. Fortunately for me, I've never had a blown head gasket that resulted in filling my crank case with water or anti-freeze. I'm under the impression that if this happens, a blown head gasket, and you have anti-freeze in your cooling system, you will have...

    BENT FIN ON COMPRESSOR SIDE

    A couple months ago I started to hear a high pitched, siren like, sound which increased in pitch as the engine went to full boost. I noticed no change in performance, as far as I could tell. I don't use the car, my TR powered El Camino, that much, and there is no noise I can hear until I go into...

    INSTALLING NEW LOWER BALL JOINTS

    I'm about to install new lower ball joints on the car. I don't want to have to remove the lower control arms. I'm going to use one of those Harbor Freight ball joint installing tools I purchased a long time ago. Seems like you just need to have the new ball joint go straight, and not cock, and...

    ADVERTIZED T SHIRTS

    Just thought I'd mention the t shirts advertised at the bottom of these pages on turbobuick.com, picturing a sillouetted TR and say "American Horsepower" for a $11 or $12 shipped, are Hanes T shirts of nice quality. Just be aware of the fact the the red ones are not Hanes brand, and are of...

    EXCHANGE CALIPER???

    I replaced my LS1 brakes with Corvette 14" brakes, new rotors, new Hawk pads, and rebuilt calipers. I didn't feel as though my car was stopping as well with the larger brakes, and I noticed that, 450 miles in, that part of the rotor surface on the driver side was not making full contact with the...

    FRONT LOWER A-ARM BUMP STOP

    Just wanted to know what you have to do to purchase the correct replacement bump stop for our cars. I purchased a couple from some Camaro outfit on ebay and they sent me a couple "HELP" bump stops that were easily one half the size of the ones on my GN but the photo on Ebay was larger than the...

    FP/INJ -- fuse blowing

    Car drives fine, then suddenly shuts off. Found FP/INJ fuse blown. Replaced with another fuse and as soon as I turn the key ON, it blows. I have come to realize that it happens only after I make full throttle blasts. Make a WOT run and then, next thing you know, the car shuts off. The kicker is...

    14" front brake rotors?

    Has anyone upgraded to 14" front brakes on their TR? Since I've installed 20" Boyd Coddington wheels on my GN, my previous LS1 brake conversion looks puny to me, so today I will be ordering the first parts I need to change over to the 14" rotors. I'll just be using the standard C5-C6 calipers...

    Anyone use 305-30-20s?

    I'm running 285-30-20s right now as the rear tire size on my GN, but I think I can go a little bigger and fit Nitto 305s...

    ANYBODY USE THESE LED HEADLITES?

    I want to get rid of my yellow hologen headlights and convert to a white headlight. I found these on Ebay. I'm not interested in spending more and I just want to be able to plug them in and not have to bother wiring in ballasts or relays. It appears these just plug into the factory receptacles...

    BLOWING 10AMP FUSE FOR BOOST SOLENOID

    I was checking out some ignition modules to see it they were good and when I went into boost the car mildly backfired and after that I lost boost. My boost is set around 25 psi and now It generates only 10 psi of boost. I found the boost solenoid fuse was blown. I replaced it and it blew the...
