Thanks a lot. I'll do that. Really appreciate the help.

I appreciate the reply.

I feel the same way about giving it away. I need the money, but didn't realize used AT radiators in good condition could be had so cheap. I know the alternator doesn't cost ...

Hey guys,

I haven't been here in a long time. This will be wordy.

I'm at a tough spot in life right now, (going through divorce, moved out, totalled my daily driver ~3 weeks ago)..

So, I'm i ...

Just an update:

Was able single out the noise and this ended up being a bad alternator bearing, which is why I was hearing the metal on metal friction sound.

It is bad when started and subsides ...

I still have the receipt. Looks like the only rollers he changed were part numbers: 944-105-631-06 and 944-105-241-04.

I've read several times on here about doing the timing belt etc, and how it's ...

Thanks guys.

Hi all,

My car (87 924S Auto) has been sitting since January, because I don't drive it much in the winter. I also replaced the fuel pump in January and after making sure it worked ok, I parked it u ...

I'll try to get the mount pulled down within the next day or two and report back.

Thanks for the reply!

Hey guys,

Been a long time since I've posted... I've been working like a fool unfortunately.

First off, instead of grave digging my old '87 Head Gasket Curse" thread, I'll just post an upda ...

Thanks for the tips John. I've got a vacation coming up, so hopefully I can take of it then.

I'm back....

Well, it's unmistakeable now it seems. Head gasket failure.

I don't drive this car alot... but since the complete FOES I had done several months ago, I have put around 3k on her. Re ...

No loss of coolant.. Looks to be staying clean as well. I want to believe it's just the car, because it still drives and runs great. But i'll stay on top of it because I want to keep it that way. Have ...

The brown goo is not normal

That's what I figured.. And that plus the smoke is what originally made me think head gasket... But there are no other signs of that as I've mentioned above...

Here i ...

Thanks for the advice John. Definitely keeping those things in mind.

For right now, I'm crossing my fingers and chalking it up to condensation. I've been watching it the last few days and the smoki ...
