Dear lordy, its the perfect plan all laid out in front of me! im picking up a 5e to get going with this saturday, this has probably saved me so many headaches, its nearly given me one to consider them lol :L. Amazin! -
Sandblasting is the surefire answer to old unwanted finish lol, but youve gotta have access to one which is easier said than done for most. not dealt with chrome before, so i dunno how else youd get it off without damaging the metal under it.
-
lol just realised i didnt read your post properly, sorry. a friend of mines starlet had a load of crap in its standard rad, flushing it through the opposite way to normal flow managed to dislodge it. chunks of old whatever might come out the intake if it is blocked.
-
i still think the thermostats probably jammed half open, or theres a blockage in the system somewhere. id start with the thermostat, and while the coolants out get the rad out, have a look at it and flush it through mate.
-
i count the number of cranks to try and keep the test as even as possible. about 8 cranks should get your pistons maximum pressure.
-
Youll need to take it all out i think. and youll need a tsomethingorother torques allen key to do so. right old pain in the ass, its why mines stayed broken for nearly a year now lol
-
mine goes down (sorta) when you push down on the switch, but will not go back up again. i have to pull it up by hand then push up on the switch while holding it in place to keep it there. any idea whats going on there lol? passenger side is seized completely :L
-
broken thermostat? my mates mx5 did exactly this a week ago, thermostat imploded and was stuck nearly shut all the time. good place to start. be careful not to overtighten the two bolts holding it on, they sheer really easily, as i found out when i did mine
-
Even trade baby! i didnt think it was some kind of hybrid of the two, just meant it was somewhere between it. GLWS!
-
So its kinda between a ct9 and a tdo4?
-
Nah its all good, happy to be a help if i can. ive done a few sets of them now to a good standard so i feel i can give advice on it.

look good to me, strip em, hit it with some scotchbrite then see where you are. look in good nick to me.
