I have all new oem hoses for coolant, intake, and heating (PHH) etc. Painted my Valve cover Blue :) I think I will leave shaving the head or block alone then. I'm just wanting this baby to run like a top while maintaining it's durability. Not sure what radiator to get. That has been a real...

Viable information. Thank you. Anything else I should improve or look at while I have the room?

I have a 3FE gents. Posted above iirc

TLC 1991 3FE This started as a valve cover gasket job. Turned into an EGR delete after that. That turned into a head gasket job. The rabbit hole goes further my friends... Anyway... I plan on taking the cylinder head to the machine shop for a pressure test, measurement and bath. Should I shave...

Just take the starter out and bench test it. If it works then that rules out the starter being inoperable...

Hmmmm... this could be your ignition switch. When you turn your key on the crank position see if the ignition sends out power. If it does then your ignition switch is good. Check the starter relay for ohms of resistance and see if it sends out power. Test the relay for continuity. See if your...

What does PHH stand for?
