Re: It's not supposed to glow like this, is it?
A too lean mixture = sharply raised exhaust temperature (2.3t is engineered to operate on richer side).
Cam timing needs to be verified (slipped timing belt = "down on power").

Re: Disappearing coolant is normal - really?
Leaky heater core, loose/faulty coolant cap, (or blown head gasket, cracked head or engine block).
I'd first suspect loose coolant cap.

Re: Merkur Midwest Down
Before this gets out of hand, I didn't see any knowledgeable statements that Russ has died, just that his health isn't good and he's selling/sold the business. For that matter, while I'm not doubting the original poster's information, we don't have any publicly released information from Rapido rega...

Unlikely you'd be reading this far if this was still about group size.

Seems you don't know that there are One Year and Two Year warranty Everstart batteries stocked on the Walmart racks along with high end flooded and AGM unitsbrokencase wrote: ↑Fri Nov 17, 2023 1:19 pm There you go, The one on the right. 6/21. I guess it lasted just a little over two years. Typical.

Re: Battery group size
Life Lesson No. 1: Buy from reputable origin and source.
Interstate, if you don't trust Everstart.

Re: Battery group size
Dean keeps changing the sidelines and goal lines here. The basic question from the onset here was would the Weize...WEIZE Chinesium...battery last, even for a year or two or three.
