Replying to: frandsen (Sep 24, 2009 10:13 am) Washing the fins backward (ie from engine bay spraying through toward front of car) can clear a surprising amount of junk out. We get occasional insect plagues, especially plague locusts which clog a radiator rapidly. You will occasionally see flywire screening wrapped around the radiator in country areas, to reduce impact Cheers Graham |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 28, 2009 4:58 pm) Luckily I already did timing belt and water pump. How is the price I am getting? $1,400 for head gaskets new thermostat and hoses. I love this car. Perfect for long road trips like the 6k round trip to Florida we are taking in November.

Replying to: originalbitman (Sep 28, 2009 5:57 pm) Well at least the radiator has to be cleaned out. You've got to do something to it--it would be negligent, in my opinion, to cool a recently refreshed engine with a dirty old radiator. I'd also consider a new oil pump as long as everything's apart.-- or at least an inspection and measurement of it internally.

Quick question: Clockwise up, or clockwise down? (on my 99 LGT) Need to lower 'em a smidge, and I can't remember which way to turn the bloomin' screw!  Cheers! Paul

Has anyone ever had problems with the car feeling like it is wobbling? My (trusted) mechanic said he could not find anything wrong, but wondered if it had something to do with making sure the lug nuts were torqued exactly correct. It seemed to be much less noticeable after he put the wheels back on and made sure the lug nuts were torqued exactly right, but it only seems to be better, as opposed to gone completely. I bought a torque wrench and loosened and re-torqued to 70ft lbs but the problem didn't go away completely. Any ideas?
