    Older Bikes With Low Miles

    Since a true moto enthusiast replaces things for looks just as much as maintenance--or different tires with plenty of life left because of stellar reviews on some new compound--if you see a screaming deal that is not sun damaged on paint and plastics snatch it up. You can always replace cables...

    HDEO - the 'poor man's syn' - myth or fact?

    A HDEO that is spec'ced for use with turbocharged engines should fit the bill for any normally experienced heat of a non turbo gas engine. A synthetic will provide more moments of protection with a coolant failure, but any overheating event's outcome is an individual situation.

    Done w/ protein bars, need alternate source

    If you can still tolerate huge quantities of milk, i say do so. Basically use it for all daily hydration but during really aerobic activities and instances where you cant store it. Studies continue to show milk has some of the best anti inflammatory compounds for so cheap. Getting older means...

    Hypothetical question about transmission overdrive

    New overdrives on some vehicles are different from older transmissions, thick of a bicycle with cogs front and back... My 2006 ranger...2nd gear uses the overdrive with a different gear then flipped back to get a real "3rd"...or maybe the other way around. Anyway in that case the 5r55 or...

    Went to drop off some used oil today.

    Youd think CA would be the most strict but my walmart is pretty laid back. I do have to take containers with me. My oil jug got rained on/in and i felt bad about it, but not THAT bad. Dirty water is a lot easier on systems than the other stuff.

    Canola Follow-up

    I am not going to make my own thread because im doing the same thing pretty much with my own take on it. I'm going to start topping off with dino delvac 15w-40 + canola blend for the last 1500 of my OCI, the method I use with MMO. Then on drain I'm going to fill the crankcase with about 75%...

    What car is this one???

    I love how it's matte black. Do the police wear black socks and DC skate shoes too like in California?

    Canola Follow-up

    Another month gone by, any updates? I wouldn't care if my oil was slightly degraded from canola if it cut leaking by significant amount. If you are adding fresh oil because you lose tablespoons daily anyway your additive package is hanging in there.

    Nascar Rain Delays...

    If they all have the same aero they should have limitless power (within reason). If they all have the same output they should have limitless aero. Alternate odd and even years. Oh and give extra points and trophies to guys who have not won in a while, just like in little league. Give Dennis...

    JB Weld or what for a pinhole seeping coolant?

    On the water outlet id do it. On a head where it mates up to the outlet i would try it. On an actual vertical water passage where there is head mating to block involved I'm sure it's been done but no personal experience there. It doesn't hurt to try a 10 dollar fix.

    Neutral VS Reverse

    I do it all the time. The point is the people you are looking for left and right and behind before proceeding...riding their 50cc scooters IN THE SIDEWALK ILLEGALLY AT 30MPH will not see you backing up, and this could be trouble. But no harm to your engine or drivetrain doing this, no.
