I am sure you read up headgasket issue and verified the replacement. It's a good car except for engine headgasket issues. Welcome to the board.

How did it go at Napa or Oreilley's, for that heater valve? Just curious.

by all means take your time and don't force it, if you force it, it is about a 75 buck mistake.

Oh noes. Did you try fresh ATF in the pump? ATF could just be used up.

I always wonder if this is why my CA BRAT arrived to me with a ball bearing lodged, should say pressed to not remove, in one of my vacuum lines... it had passed smog right before it was sold to me..... ran like crap too. craptachi..

EG33, and don't forget remaining intake tubes before the start up.

yeah plenty of 36grand SVX's can be had for around the 600-950 area...... so yes, the Tribeca soon will have that as well. couldnt sell them new, cant give them away used.

you could try to get some new fresh oil worked into it around the edge. if you can wiggle it a little that is progress. do not pry it out it will crack if you do that. you can maybe pull with hand while wiggle, but do not pry it with a screwdriver or bar.

make sure you have all the bolts out. put the oil filter back on to use the filter as a handle, trying to move the pump clockwise, then counter clockwise, back and forth with the filter as a handle. Do not pry out on the pump, use twisting motion only...

My 1993 USDM Loyale has glass headlights.... now, the Legacy's here, they are plastic lenses which tend to yellow. But, not sure what the demand would be for glass lensed Loyale lights since the one's we have here are just that.

This: is NOT zero brakes. one pad is down do about 15% the others are 95% good.

Laptop. You will need storage space local to the device to store reference documents, files, part numbers, instructions, install and removal torque specs, etc..... Or you could go with net book, and get a notebook paper binder and write that stuff down in it with a pen.

I've got the whole mechanism it is already removed from the car works good. pm me if you want a price quote shipped..

Cool. Did you fix your engine/cam issue to get it running?

one pad worn on the corner. "All the other pads were beautiful with fully defined mid channels nice even wear and plenty, in my layman's opinion, of life left on them" you asked to save old parts..... All others were good. They took your money for brake job not needed. I am not surprised. Corners of the pads do not wear alone. So did the shop put a grinding wheel to the corner of the one, just to make it look like you needed brakes. A Corner just does not wear, it is physics here..

I have a Harley Screaming Eagle muffler that I am going to put on my BRAT.:-p my dad got it at swap meet in the box for 10 bucks. have to try it

i tried a Duplicolor on my old whinestone 94TW, but the duplicolor was too light for it. I still have most of the can left. It is in front of me, T278 Dark Canyon Red. I would give that one a try on a small spot to see how well it goes... The cap is darker than what sprays out and dries, so dont go by the cap. Paint something not from the car, let dry, and sit next to the hood, see how it matches up.

Lol, lets see the Vw in 10 inches of snow.....spinning wheels and stuck. no comparison.

Engine? looks like EJ and drivetrain trans.

ok the gunmetal looks better than gold. more subtle and matches window trims, bumper trims etc, the gold looks out of place on these.

^ pretty sure you mean color code 309, crimson pearl, it was a factory color. [ its a hard color to take picture of it chamges in lighting sun night etc.

Iv'e got harness for spfi he can pull for 15 bucks. Will onnly have the car for 2 more weeks then its off my yard due to city violation of junk cars.

probably on covers. unless they come with them i am hopeful. I will have to get size measured precisely before i go for covers from someone.

just got these. more for shipping than the lights. http://www.ebay.com/itm/260873306056?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_500wt_1113

Wash day. this one needs washed.
