Ah, fair enough. Guess I heard wrong.... a friend spun the bearings in his mighty max right after putting the stuff in and driving from Seattle--> Portland.


On another note, the daily driver that I *was* holding out on came back up for sale. How much is my little tercel worth? Anyone interested ...

You're not supposed to drive with seafoam in the crankcase. It's a detergent that'll wipe out your bearings. I think you're just supposed to idle with it, and change oil immediately thereafter.

wtb: blower motor

Mine makes some noises/clicks when turned on, and the intensity of air coming out of the vents is sub-par.

Anyone got one laying around for sale? My car has a/c, if it matters.

Thanks!

I didn't even notice the panel thing! Crazy.

The right front corner has been hit ever so slightly, but that it. May have something to do with it.

What sort of mpg's in town should I expect?

Clutch and a front axles were replaced last year in March of 06. Carb was R&R'd in April '05, and pretty much everything in the cooling system (rad, thermostat, water pump, hoses etc) was replaced in March of ...

In the receipts it shows that the gear oil was replaced, but I will probably do it again.

And no, I highly doubt the woman was aware of the forum.

Thanks for the welcome!
