[Supras] Distributor Cap/Rotor

[Rockey Fox]

I've used "motor flush" several times in the past which seemed to work ok on engines that had excessive amounts of sludge build up. I think it's made by Gunk and came in a quart can a few years back when I last used it. You just add it to the current oil, run the engine to operating temperature then drain and replenish with new oil&filter.

like i said before, my exhaust manifold ripped out and slightly cooked the oil in the head. i wanna get the crap out of the system. i might just do the double oilchange then.
 
trying to fix all the problems together since i'll have the card down for a bit longer. (this happened back in january)
