Thanks for your reply, it kind of validates some of the statements Evans makes It also validates my feeling that because it boils at a lower temp, that running temps will be higher requiring a radiator that has more capacity or more powerful fans that drive more air at lower speeds like...

Thank you, I searched a bunch of different ways and nothing came up, don't know why, I figured it had to be covered

I have done a few searches but didn't turn up anything on Evans Coolant. I am not a coolant expert. What I like about the coolant is: > A boiling point of 375 degrees, will improve heat transfer away from wet cylinder sleeves and head bolt area more efficiently, coolant will boil in this area...

I thought the poem he posted on Twitter was beautiful Feb. 22, Nimoy shared a poem from his book “These Words Are for You” titled “You and I have Learned.” You and I have learned The song of love, and we sing it well The song is ageless Passed on Heart to heart By those Who have seen What we...

Yes but Spock was over 200 years old! ;-)

We lost an Icon. LLAP

Many of the lifters have these vertical scores in them. Keep in mind how hard this material is. This lifter came out of the one of the #8 intake valve bores, the one I show above with the scoring. To me, the oil filter HAD to by-pass debris. Opinions? Thanks for your input

Thank you. Do you think that on oil filter by-pass valve ( on cold start up and high RPM romps) permitted debris to escape and enter the engine? The prior owner drove the car hard, often challenging other drivers. I am trying to find a valve spring compressor that will work on this head and I...

My feeling is that the debris managed to get into the lifter bores and jam the lifters from rotating in their bores causing the cam lobe to remain in the same location causing wear. Most of the lifters have this wear. Surprisingly, the head I got from the scrap yard with 80K miles on it did...

Found a photo of the damaged timing chain guide and how it is being cut into by the timing chain Here is the scoring I spoke about in the lifter bore Top of lifter damage,

Thank you Z06!

Thanks Dyusik, I will keep that in mind. A few years ago I bought a bunch of neodymium magnets myself. They are borderline dangerous they are soo strong.. I will look into putting them on my drain plugs and in my tranny pan.

Thanks dnewton3, I have a Harbor Freight nearby that's a good idea, thanks. I plan to replace any of the tensioners that have a "plastic" wearing or rubbing surface. I don't think this was a common failure so I don't want to take any chances with the other tensioners failing like this. There is...

Thank you in advance for reading and considering my options here. Well this thread tells me I am in trouble. But maybe you guys can calm my fears, but maybe not. I have a 97 Eldorado ETC that has an engine that was rebuilt about 45K miles ago by Jasper (prior owner had the job done). The...
