Running rich, WHY! and high pitched noise and mod question :D.
All those blowers are are bilge blowers from a boating suply store that I can get for $50, they will not work and actually hinder flow and choke the motor.
The Richness problem is gone, the high pitched noise is understood, and blower idea is out the window
because of certain reasons, such as....i want to keep my car now that it runs great
. I put a dynomax cat-back on it which runs nice and some new gauges...overall the car is very good. Gonna be replacing the valve cover gasket, head gasket, and the spark plug seals to see if I can control all the oil that is everywhere. Has anyone changed their own head gasket? if so, what are some good pointers and what not. I have the FSM for my car so its all layed out. I was thinking of also applying yellow teflon tape to the cam pos sensor so that it wont leak. I figure that I have headgasket cause when I turn it on in the morning it shoots a burst of white smoke for a second, i don't think its bluish though, so it could be some antifreeze getting cooked
. Also i been noticing that in my antifreeze resevoir there is a slight film of black stuff (maybe oil?) on top of the coolant. I'm not sure how it got there because i changed the coolant my self and drained the resevoir. I put the green stuff in, but when i got the car and drained it for the first time it was like milky white with caramel, hehehe. but that was a long time ago and the antifreeze is still green now. The milkyness must suggest that the previous owner before musta blown a headgasket and never changed the antifreeze afterwards [:@]. Oh yeh, whats the best headgasket to buy (brand,place)? So with this in mind I won't drag it this weekend because of fear of catistrophic damage!
