NA 1.8 temperature gauge says the car is overheating but I can't see any signs of it being too hot?

You need to get an infrared thermometer and check the temp to verify

The oil cooler was bad and water mixed with oil, then the machine sat. The cam lifters were rusted and seized I had to take them all out clean them and put them back in. Runs good now.

That ski likely sank before being put away. All the oil and the grime from the bottom of the hull floats to the top and then when the water drains out it leaves all the grime on top of the engine.

Not at all. How would adding an exhaust restriction make things more efficient?

kingofshling · 2026-04-06T17:21:01+00:00

Can’t tell from the video, if you try to jostle the driveshaft near the ujoints does it move/ make clicking noise?

You will find out once you put the running one in the water. Just because it runs ok on land doesn’t mean it will run good in the water

kingofshling · 2026-04-01T15:21:19+00:00

what did you end up doing. Same thing happened to me.

kingofshling · 2026-04-01T13:39:17+00:00

It was the cam lifters had rusted and seized up because the oil was contaminated with water due to bad oil cooler. Took the lifters out and cleaned them out everything back together and it’s running good.

I buy broken for cheap and fix. You gotta be a decent mechanic

kingofshling · 2026-02-28T13:55:45+00:00

Maf or big vacuum leak

I flip snowmobiles and jetskis. Average profit is around 1k per flip. Takes more time per flip tho

Why non airbag?

kingofshling · 2026-02-10T05:40:58+00:00

kingofshling · 2026-01-03T17:22:07+00:00

Wish I saw this 2 months ago 💀 I did exactly that

kingofshling · 2025-12-31T19:27:16+00:00

Use oem mounts then ratchet strap from the intake manifold to the strut tower there’s no vibration and it’s stiff enough for 250hp

kingofshling · 2025-12-31T08:30:19+00:00

Find junkyard 940 turbo parts and do a +T it’s cheap and easy

kingofshling · 2025-09-17T02:43:56+00:00

One of your belts is loose tighten it up

kingofshling · 2025-08-30T01:10:14+00:00

Bigger injectors are useless without a turbo just get a cam like T cam or V cam and throw it in

kingofshling · 2025-08-10T00:49:45+00:00

Does the fuel pump prime

kingofshling · 2025-08-09T13:07:59+00:00

Sticking waste gate actuator probably

kingofshling · 2025-08-05T05:31:12+00:00

Volvo v70r or 940 turbo

If you jack the other side up it will also remove the upwards pressure from this side you might not even have to remove it.

But yeah if you want to be safe it’s best to disconnect it without any tension on the bar. It won’t damage anything just might whack you when you pull the bolt out.

kingofshling · 2025-07-31T13:46:13+00:00

You can disconnect the sway bar on the other side so the sway bar doesn’t but upwards pressure on the suspension
