EA82 Doesn't need any coolant?!?
85T-REX replied to MR_Loyale's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
That's why they take so long to warm up. Rex -
coolant type and my '86 brat

At your location you would want to do a 50/50 mix. Just make sure you use distilled water. Rex -
Loyal runs bad above 2000 rpm

Try another distributor. Check for any play in the distributor shaft. Other than that it could be something with the fuel system. Filter maybe. Rex -
Where does your gauge read when it's "normal"? My gauge reads 3/4 at normal. When I use the AC it goes up to the red which is actually 195 degrees which is normal while the AC is running. My gauge is off and yours may be as well. Take a meat style thermometer and tuck it in along the rad against the upper hose on the pass side and see what it says.

It's probably time to replace the drier. I had the same problem with my RX last year. Don't run it until you do because you might pop a line. I did.

Right, no big deal. You should check it yourself before you run it and again after it's broken in. Maybe it'll be closer after you break it in. It's been great watching your progress!! -

One bar is 15psi so it looks like cylinders 1, 2, and 3 are 49psi and cylinder 4 is 48psi. It looks like the scale is actually reading 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and so on without the dots. Have you checked with your own tester yet? -
I've done that with mine a few times. Once was over a dead deer in the road!

Pulling the lever will flash the high beams. If you push it toward the dash, it should stay in high beam.

Cleaning calcium deposits from cooling sys.

Clean out what you can and fill the system with antifreeze and Distilled Water. Flush it in about 3-5k miles and fill it like that again. The distilled water will work on cleaning the deposits. I've never gotten scale or deposits with distilled water. It helps your hoses, rad, and heater core last much longer as well. -
Check compression. It may be a cracked head with a sunk valve.

If it's a manual, it might be a perfect candidate to go electric.

gnarly low-speed vibration
85T-REX replied to psychsurf's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
It does sound like a bad rear shaft joint. It's better to check with the wheels off the ground though so it isn't bound in any way. -
damn cargo covers.which is which?
85T-REX replied to monstaru's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I think the most noticable difference between the two is the ea81 has a hand-hole in the center of the pull flap and the ea82 doesn't. -

Do you have a spoiler on your hatch lid? If so, it's probably leaking there.
