    Red Coolant Sediment

    For my second question of the day. I removed my radiator cap and there was a strange looking sediment mixed in with the coolant. With some of it floating on the surface. I am guessing that after a complete overhaul of the cooling system from all hoses to the radiator.. there was something...

    Radiator Foam / Coolant packing suitable replacements

    I replaced my radiator with a Denso unit from Rock Auto this last week. The foam did not remove cleanly from the original so I'm looking for a suitable replacement. I don't know what temps to expect, so I'm not sure if Home Depot foam will work. I tried McMaster Carr and Grainger with poor...

    Neat and clean way to drain coolant from block - 2F

    I was tired of dumping coolant everywhere when I drained my 2F block or radiator...cheap trick follows: I installed an aftermarket radiator in my FJ40 that does not have the extension tube on the radiator drain like the OEM (to carry the coolant past the radiator frame), so it's very messy to...

    Metal Shavings in coolant.

    Last evening I was outside checking the oil level and looking making sure I had enough coolant, while looking into the top of the radiator I notice tiny foil like shavings in my coolant, upon closer inspection I noticed the coolant had little swirls of what seem to be very fine glitter. I...

    correct heating route for 78 2f

    After searching, ive found most of the info I need, but there's one thing I've yet to see. In my 74, the po put a desmogged 78 2f engine in.

    Bought a 2000 LX. I think it's a money pit. I could use some encouragement.

    So I recently bought a 2000 Lexus LX470 with 225,000 miles and bought it for $6300 knowing that it would not be perfect. The first thing I noticed was that the front sat a little lower than the back. More than normal. I'm not unfamiliar with these cars entirely. I was told that the...
