Anyone ever use this stuff called Tornado? It comes in a gallon jug, It looks like its made for industrial applications. My parents had it at their house and I used it on my valve covers and other aluminum bits and it worked friggin awesome. I let it soak in a tub diluted about 2/1 and it made like ...

Havent torn it apart yet..lol

Yea he said one of the bolts didn't feel like it really pulled down like the rest.

ok, gotcha, inch lbs......glad u called me on that. That bein said, the PO did torque it to 168 ft lbs then additinal 180*, he was bitching to me about it was all he could do with a cheater pipe to get it torqued lol...I'll probably get new bolts just for that reason. /thinks to self/ gotta quit ski...

yea I couldnt find anything either, I guess I got lucky.....Unless your looking for the overflow(I found 3 of those) I couldn't find the actual tank.

Well Haynes calls for 168 ft. lbs. then an additional 90* then another 90* in their torque sequence......thats pretty friggin tight for such a long bolt. The bolts have already been through two torque sequences (once at the factory, then once by the PO) I just wanted to cover all my bases when i do ...

I was looking at these, never heard of the brand tho...what do you guys use? How much does OEM cost?

still have the ej22t bpv?

check ebay, I ordered a plastic one on Ebay last week for 19 bucks shipped...it was plastic and still had the original cap "lasso" and all.. worth a try.

Well i got the engine pulled today...I got it out in about 4 hrs taking my time, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Check out the pics http://s983.photobucket.com/albums/ae312/MTFB/Rubi/ I think it's winestone, I'm not sure, let me know if I'm right. I'm psyched to be puttin this bitch together...

Well.....I got that overflow tank in today, went to my parents house and put it on(perfect fit BTW) and first trip the engine pushed all the coolant out into the tank and overheated. I caught it early and pulled it over and let it cool down then drove the rest of the way to the house. I guess tomarr...

Yea I'm not sure if that one is made for my specifc car car or not but I'll make it work. Just have to rig up a bracket if nothing else...I Just talked to my dad, he said my sister caught it pretty soon this time I just assumed she had pushed it as far as she did last time...the reason the car doesn...

Thanks alot man, I really appreciate....When I get the chance I'll take some pics of my car and possibly start a build thread. I plan on doing a TD05 and a FMIC after I get everything else panned out on it.

Does that one look like yours ??? hard to tell from the top.

I think I just figured it out.....My car does not have a coolant puke tank on it(dont know how I missed it before). So there for it is slowly losing coolant that should be going into the puke tank onto the ground and when it gets low enough it begins to over heat....do the turbo and N/A ones interch...

What you described sounds exactly like an air bubble being pushed out of the cooling system that hadn't already been bled out. If that was the case how long does it usually take for all the air to work it's way out? I'd hate to pull the engine for nothing if it does just have a air pocket....is the...

Yea the exhaust has steam/moisture coming out to the point that theres a puddle in both tips, and it does lose coolant. I haven't done anything else to it, i dont have the tools to do a leakdown or compression test. I'm not sure if my dad checked the deck surface when he had it apart, I know he tore...

yea both fans kick on, they were cycling while i was in driveway diagnosing the head gasket problem(which it never over heated while in the driveway). The temps are supposed to be in the 60's this week and im outta work for the time being so I'm gonna pull the motor out and check it out. Also when m...

I just aqcuired this car from my sister because my dad cant get it to quit blowing head gaskets. The first time he had the heads shaved .009". The car ran fine for awhile then it over heated again because a nipple broke off the radiator and it dumped all the coolant...she(my sister) pulled over...
