So my car doesnt have the power my old car use too or get up and go (not really power), so i started looking all over for bad vacuum lines. Couldn't find any but i did notice the secondary butterfly inside the carburetor was not opening. I looked all over the linkage to try to find something missing...

Very nice looking car, wish we lived closer together or i had something to tow it with cause i would be all over it. Just out of curiosity what kind of head gaskets have you used? I was putting Fel-pro gaskets on my 2wd tercel with the same problem (kept blowing) which was very frustrating. Picked u...

Question solved! I guess I just didnt search on here enough, the toyota links were dead but Searching this number on ebay SPF1064K yielded results, thank you I do appreciate it. So the bushing to the left of my hand, do you know where that might go? Because those were the original ones I thought the...

So I have searched and searched and bought a couple different bushings and just tonight took the control arm apart after work and found out I purchased the incorrect ones. Where i am pointing is the bushings I am looking for (which are totally blown out) Does someone have a link to them anywhere? Iv...

Upgraded rides so I'm letting my sweetie go. Its a 5 speed manual shifts smooth as butter. Has good tires, good brakes. Gets between 30-32mpg. Body as shown is in pretty good shape(besides the rear passenger corner), has roof rack, interior is pretty decent rear tire cover has 3/4 plywood so it will...

So I know i have been absent lately been kinda busy, but a little update. More smoke more often runs rough during start-up, radiator fluid does need topped off sometimes. So my plan of attack I suppose ( i just re-torqued the head bolts) replace head bolts even though pretty much everyone is saying ...

Also when the head gasket actually starts going and coolant starts getting burnt wont i see a drop in fuel mileage? Averaging about 31mpg consistently 33 on a good fill up

1/4 on the temp gauge is too low. that's a sign of a faulty thermostat. 1/2 or just below 1/2 on the gauge is the correct fully warmed up operating temp. if that's where it's at now, i don't think you have a head gasket problem at all. Hmm well maybe i need to put a mechanical temp gauge in, the th...

Hellow Eyeball, Welcome to the forum. Sounds like your cooling system needs a good checkout/correction/repair. Do you have a double row radiator? Not a bad idea if not, also get a quality thermostat, and make sure the pump and hoses are all good. Check and double check the system for leaks when you...

welcome, eyeball. did you confirm the block and head are both perfectly flat? any other overheating problems that could be killing your head gaskets, like low coolant or bad radiators or thermostats? maybe your torque wrench is out of calibration. another forum member here had the same issue as you...

So i am brand new to the site, been on here multiple times to read up about replacing the head gasket though. My first question is how is the copper head gasket holding up? Ive been through 2 head gaskets in less then 8months... really discouraging however i bought the car not running and not knowin...
