    Oil in antifreeze, but no antifreeze in the oil

    What color is the oil? If it looks residual it is more than likely tyranny fluid from your fanny cooler! If you have an automatic that is.

    coolant temperature woes. stock gauge. any advice?

    You can get a stock replacement at oreillys for around $90 until you get your 3 core. In my opinion it isn't worth trying to unclogg one. Its just a matter of time before it does it again. Good job on figuring it out though!

    coolant temperature woes. stock gauge. any advice?

    Have you radiator cap pressure tested! People don't realize this but your cap plays a big a part in your cooling system. Then check your fluid levels, and check your mixer with a hydrometer.

    Any plus going from 1.6 to 1.7 on TFS stage 1?

    Any plus going from 1.6 to 1.7 on TFS stage 1?

    It will just increase the valve lift a little. Just take the intake duration of your cam and multiply it by 1.6 and write it down. Then do it again but by 1.7 and you will how much your valve lift changes. Do the same with your exhaust to. Then based on your number and what you are going for...

    oil pressure drop

    No problem. If you switch to an aftermarket gauge I strongly recommend going with mechanical gauges. They are spot on when it comes to accuracey! That's what I use. When the engine is hot and rpms are above 2000 oil pressure be between 40 to 60 PSI. I actaully looked it up today. I am a student...

    oil pressure drop

    If you have a high mileage motor and your losing oil pressure even if our motor is making noises or not, your oil clearnces could be out of spec now. Add lucas oil treatment and when you change your oil use a higher weight oil. Like instead of 5w30 use 5w40. Its thicker so it will help bring...
