you will be fine i ran mine for a year super lean 1000deg+ exhaust temps shooting fireballs onlything that happened was i replaced the exhaust manifold every six months and finally the front pipe welds broke and the exhaust fell off the car i finally called it quits and swapped.

oh i even ran the canyons with virtiualy no coolant. no problems. theyre stout motors just pretty gutless.

They're only stout because they're so gutless they don't have the power to break themselves.
the 20e is a reliable motor. It's just a terrible motor at the same time. I hate it with the flaming passion of a quadrillion suns.

Oh, and I put a little air in my tire today... That was what I did to my S12

Replaced broken amber fog lenses with clear ones. Taped em to at least keep the lenses together if they shatter again. Did the same for the headlights.

Put my illuminated license plate back need to pick up some 194 bulbs with green filters since i cant have any other colour up front per the county.

I put my clutch switch back in (not the one for the starter interlock), so now my launch control works in Megasquirt again.
