    Zephyrhills versus Lakeland (Carlisle) event?

    Probably the Lakeland show and swap will be better, over all. The Z-hills show has been taken over by a local group who runs a monthly swap, and car corral in Sumpter county. Carlisle is a bigger and more official car show type outfit. They ran the Z-hills show for a couple of years and ran into...

    changed to power booster

    You have to change the pedal when changing from powermaster to Vacuum. It's not hard.

    changed to power booster

    I would just add that T-ing in above the the PCV valve is an excellent location to get vacuum for brakes. There's no downside to it. Never had a problem in over 15 years on an assortment of turbo cars. On the other hand, I have used the TTA vacuum block and have had problems with them, plus I...

    ANTI-FREEZE & ENGINE BEARINGS

    Well, according to some people, anti-freeze in the crank case damages the bearings. I don't need anti-freeze, so I don't use it. One thing is for sure, and it's what I got out of this whole thread. If you don't blow a head gasket, you don't have to think about it. :eek: Exactly what I knew...

    So, just by putting in 8oz. the coolant stays clear? What's has been your experience? TIA

    ANTI-FREEZE & ENGINE BEARINGS

    OK. There might be a difference, though. A small engine therefore much smaller bearings that may be making the same horsepower as a BBC. Maybe someone else will chime in. It's not real important, but it's just something worth knowing.

    How much RMI 25 is enough for turbo Buicks?

    ANTI-FREEZE & ENGINE BEARINGS

    Were you running anti - freeze? If you were, then I'd think that the cautions on anti-freeze is much to do about nothing?

    ANTI-FREEZE & ENGINE BEARINGS

    Yeah, yeah, but does RMI-25 damage engine bearings?

    ANTI-FREEZE & ENGINE BEARINGS

    Yes, I've had those "dry" head gasket failures. :confused: But again, do you know for sure, or have you come to understand by comments of others, that RM125 doesn't damage engine bearings? By the way, how much do you need to use?

    ANTI-FREEZE & ENGINE BEARINGS

    Thanks Jerry. There was only this in the thread: Biggest downside for antifreeze is if it gets to the engine bearings due to a blown headgasket the bearings are usually toast. The water and RMI-25 is not usually an issue. I don't run antifreeze in the GN or the racecar because a headgasket is...
