Re: Another Engine Temp Question

Sounds normal to me. I do the same after driving in the insane Texas heat?raise the hood and keep the garage door open for a few hours when possible.

Re: Question on Engine Temp

I don?t remember the exact numbers, but last year I was pegging the temp gauge during the Houston heat of June/July. I ended up pulling the radiator for a good cleaning, put in Marc?s thermostat &...

Re: What else during headed install?

Good call Bob! I pulled the wheels a few weeks ago and cleaned up all the suspension & brake bits. Will definitely do a more thorough cleaning with the fender liners and manifolds out of the way.

What else during header install?

My header install kit from Marc will be here in a few weeks. What else should I consider doing while I have things torn apart for the install? Fuel filter is on the list already.

Re: Coolant Bypass from Marc Haibeck

The less bent end is the drivers side. Once in place, and before you attach the hose, you use a #2 Philips screwdriver to bend that side down a bit to more resemble the passenger side. As for the...

Re: Coolant Bypass from Marc Haibeck

Difficult to get a good picture installed since most of it is hidden, but hopefully these help a bit. :thumbsup:

Re: WTB: Exhaust - Aftermarket or 93-95 stock

Bob, your exhaust and the posts detailing it are one that I keep going back to month after month, and the main reason I?m entertaining a stock exhaust with cutouts. I reached out to Pete already and...

Re: Overheating issues.

Ran around town for about 45 minutes. Outside temp about 102. Mostly driving through neighborhoods with a few ?spirited? runs. AC blowing full speed the entire time. Monitored the engine/coolant temp...

WTB: Exhaust - Aftermarket or 93-95 stock

I've been hearing more and more clips of exhausts and want to open my '91 up more. Interested in what people may have laying around that they are looking to get rid of. As the title states, I'm...

Re: Overheating issues.

I'm in Houston also and was experiencing some uncomfortably high temps while driving a couple weeks ago. I ended up removing and deep cleaning the radiator (30 years of dust/dirt/fur...etc),...

Re: Headers

Appreciate the feedback! From my research, OBX and Maximizer are indeed the same. OBX headers are just more highly polished.

Re: Headers

Anyone have pics of the dimpling you had to do? And I?m assuming it?s better to dimple it before having them coated, or does that not really matter?

Re: FS: Full Factory exhaust from 1994 ZR1

I may be driving up to Rockford IL sometime soon and will keep you in mind. Could easily fit it in the back of the expedition when I swing through. 👍

Re: FS: Full Factory exhaust from 1994 ZR1

I had the same thought! My middle kid and I may drive up for it this year and he takes up too much room 🤣

Re: FS: Full Factory exhaust from 1994 ZR1

Unfortunately shipping costs would probably make that go outside my goal of a ?budget? build to open up my 91. I may just end up jumping off the deep end in a few months and going full in with SW...

Re: FS: Full Factory exhaust from 1994 ZR1

Why can?t you be in the Houston area??? 🤣 I?ve been scouring the interwebs for a late year ZR1 exhaust or an LT4 exhaust for the past month.

Re: 1991 ZR-1 #1648!!!

Yeah, some of the comments on there were pretty ridiculous. I wanted Nitto 555 G2s, but the fronts were out of stock everywhere. Ended up with M/T Street Comps. Don't have much to compare them to,...

Re: 1991 ZR-1 #1648!!!

Re: Replacement Tires for 1993 ZR-1

Nitto 555 g2 fronts are out of stock everywhere and Nitto doesn?t know when production will start again. Instead, I just put M/T Street Comps on my new (to me) 91 last Friday and they?re excellent!
