Stan Whitney replied to the thread Best DIY alignment setup.Toe plates and a camber gauge of some sort will get you 95% there. I have a longacre camber gauge (like a large triangle) but the small magnetics look much handier - I'm going to get some to try. Many use string but I have not had good luck... (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Cooling Modifications."Little boiler". 😆That is what I was thinking it was. I guess it warms up the fluid in to get it up to operating temperature more quickly?That is on your S550 car, too? (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Cooling Modifications.The 7H322 part, up toward the top of the picture, is an automatic transmission cooler control valve. I believe it does basically the same thing as the Improved Racing inline oil thermostat. Here is what it looks like: (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Cooling Modifications.Neither Kenny Brown nor Fluidyne make a triple pass radiator for the S650 yet. They do each make an S550, so maybe if you hit them up they will address this potential market, since there are three, almost four years of production now. (see full post)

Junkyard Dog replied to the thread S650 Cliff II.Excellent post.If I could figure out the fluid routing and temperature of that thermostat from Ford (I see you said 190°), I bet we could figure out how to do something similar in the S650 to what you did to the S550.Maybe a lower temperature...

Based on the thermostat temp you choose, the part number will change, hence FSM-165 for 165F, and FSM-145 for 145F... (see full post)-
GJarrett replied to the thread Best DIY alignment setup.I use the Klein model and it works great. If the cheaper one works just as well you will not be disappointed, great cheap hack for setting camber. For toe I use the Longacre plates, works good enough for me.
