Bought an 89 runner this Saturday. It has a 4 cylinder with manual tranny. I bought it with the idea of overhauling the motor since it has 192,000 miles on it but it still runs strong and does not smoke. I got it in Austin, TX and drove it 360 miles home, no problems. I was impressed with the gas mileage compared to my 87 raider <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> . I have a few of questions:

1. the engine makes a clattering sound at startup only when the engine is cold. Once it warms up the noise goes away. Any suggestions?

2. No gauges for oil pressure and rpm's. How have some of you added gauges for this?

3. The shifter boots are horrible. Is there rubber aftermarket boots?
