Charlie, The CSF drops in between the brackets, no problem. Measurements I took are: Bracket to Bracket: 26 3/4 CSF Flange to Flange: 26 1/2 CSF core width: 24 3/8 The problem with this radiator (for me at least) is the mounting holes on the radiator do not line up with the holes on the...

Exactly my issue! The new Denso OEM replacements are 0.5" wider than stock and do not clear the Shrockworks brackets. I couldn't find any information on the actual dimensions of this unit, other than the core being 25 7/8. However, looking at the photos, it looks like the side flanges would be...

I have the same experience as Daryl, except my problem was a head crack between the valves over the #3 cylinder. It really wasn't a tough job. If you've done a timing belt job and valve cover gaskets, you've covered 80%+ of the job. Other than that, it's removing exhaust manifolds and heads...

I just re-read your post and think you have it backwards. RH head has match marks at two dots to remove, LH has match marks at single dots. **Unless things are different on a 97, this is how it is on my 02.

I'm in the middle of replacing both heads now. As Tim suggested, that video series is a great reference, as are Tim's videos on Timing Belt Replacement, Valve Cover Gasket Replacement, and knock sensor replacement - these are all invaluable resources and are truly "gifts" for those of us that...

I love how "Full Tank of Gas" has become 6 Gallons of gas.

Mike, justdashes.com may be able to take care of you. They have a process where they can vacuum form a new cap over your existing dash and have it look like new. I have no idea what it would cost, but it's worth looking into. Good luck and please keep us posted.
