    Normal.

    Very long wire run. With 4 O2 heaters dragging on that circuit, it is totally normal to see a voltage drop.

    Make sure you are using OE sensors. The heaters in G1/G2 sensors are...

    While that oil is still 100% fine, I will say that in general, we run 5W-40 TD in Northern climates, and 15W-50 in Southern climates at this point. Have pretty much abandoned use of everything else.

    Everyone just needs to remember, the "sound" that everyone likes is the sound of an engine inherently running poorly. IE: Dont be stupid on cam specification or you will regret it in the long run....

    Quite simply, its poor risk:reward. The amount of coolant retained is minimal, and the risk of stripped plugs and galled threads is high. You are far better off doing a second flush.

    This has been a point of opinion for quite some time. Performance wise, the G4 ported is very, very similar to G5. Strength wise [Forced Induction] the G4 manifold is the clear winner. In the looks...

    I think it goes without saying, dont drive the car until its fixed other than to just shuffle it around, and try to keep the AC off so that fan doesnt ramp up.

    RPM should not drop when A/C engages. If it is, your vibration is likely from a low-idle condition causing a resonance vibration. I would inspect the IAC system for issues, and make sure...

    The longer those POS gaskets are in, the more corrosion damage you have to contend with. Between HG seepage and timing cover gasket failures, both of which can lead to...
