Frankzao Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 not if you have a double insulated garage door. My garage stays within 5 degrees of my house (hot or cold). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 in that case the insulation between your garage and the house is very limited exactly as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt64341 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 How cold-soaked the engine is will have more of an effect than the temperature will. Outside, the wind blows and will cool the engine off faster than a garage at the same temperature. I usually go on a long drive at night so that the engine gets nice and hot, especially if it is going to get cold. And it does start much easier in the morning than if I havn't driven it since the previous afternoon or earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Millenia's don't seem to cool off that much, I remember we had to wait about 3 hours in summer before mine was cool enough to work on, and that was hood up in the shade. either way, an engine thats in a 74 degree garage will start much much easier then any other. I'm thinking about taking things a bit further this year, I'll be changing the oil in the garage this time, but before I put in the new oil I'm thinking about letting the bottles soak in a hottub, get it up to around 100-105 degrees, then fill up the car.

SteveSter Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Overkill, like usual. If your engine is at room temp and so is the oil, I dont see the problem in putting it in. You want to do something good for the milly, get an electric oil pump, and a transmission cooler. Or see if you can install one of these. http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/bf.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I have a hayden tranny cooler...infact I'v had it for an extremely long time, but don't have it installed. MWM07 was suppose to have it done I believe, but we never got around to it. I will NOT be going under the millenia and randomly disconnecting lines.

ing-schu@online.no Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I have new pistons for one of the bikes in my workshop. But I don't claim my engine is rebuilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 BHR, scared of getting your hands dirty? There is only 1 line you could pull off to connect a tranny cooler. And did you look at the link. That might be a good addon for your milly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I have a Jeep, I'm not afaird of getting dirty, but I need to mount it, and find the CORRECT line and no, jsut give me bullshit about just 1 line, maybe you think theres only one, but in reality there are many things, fluid lines, vacuum lines etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 BHR I have been under the hood of the milly in the past week more than you have in the whole time you have owned it. Transmission fluid doesnt flow through vac lines which are very far from the line you need. You grab the lower right hose unclamp it, disconnect it from both sides, install the cooler, route the hose from the radiator to the cooler and from the cooler to the tranny at the place where you originally uninstalled the stock hose. Too hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 no, but they look about the same, I'm not going to pull off a vacuum line and play "find the hose" also I doubt that, I mean I'v never had to repair anything because I don't abuse mine, but I'v had my time under there, usually it pisses me off I once took off my front intercooler to clean it and what did I find, NOTHING, waste of my time. I'm also not in the mood to have tranny fluid spilling everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveSter Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Fluid spillage when putting on a tranny cooler is inevitable. But no vac lines go to the radiator. 1 line from the lower radiator is all you disconnect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Task514 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm thinking about taking things a bit further this year, I'll be changing the oil in the garage this time, but before I put in the new oil I'm thinking about letting the bottles soak in a hottub, get it up to around 100-105 degrees, then fill up the car. Hahahah, what difference does this give you?! wanna take it further? turn the crank a couple of revs before starting it. This will distribute the oil a bit before starting the engine...

SteveSter Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Naa BHR wont do that, that includes picking up a ratchet. And removing the plastic cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 I do more work on my cars combined then you have and yes, if I could actually get a wrench to the crank and turn it over a bit that would be excellent, but I don't think there is a way to get a wrench to reach without taking apart alot Also, I don't want the oil super hot to shock the valves, but by having it at around 100 degrees its super easy to crank through and will allow the oil to get everywhere faster. This would only be for the spring restart, not every single time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Task514 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 or pour some oil in the cyl through the spark plug, disconnect COP and crank the engine with the fuel pump disconnected... That will distribute the oil at low revs. LOLOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
