Same nickname everywhere. When I was 8 I wanted to create a name. So I created 'Dusky'. I spoke a little bit of english then ( European) but didn't know about the word 'Dusk'. The real dusky because the username was already taken. The " The real" came from the movie ' The Italian Job'. Where...

Use anti marten/weasle spray. Dont know if you can get it locally. Martens are a (big) problem in europe. (I work in a car parts shop) We sell an excellent anti marten product to spray directly on cables etc. Dries clear but leaves a nast taste. 1 bite and they leave. Animal friendly as well...

I'll begin, We have this customer who thinks he knows how to work on cars. everybody knows this kinda guy. He already asked me what way round brake pads should be fitted ( Metal to the disc, but use lots of grease so it doesnt squeek!) but today was just too perfect to be true. Bought oil...

Filtration is my biggest concern with the cotton filters. Heard too many horror stories about them.

Hi guys! Air cleaners with a filter in the lid ( K&N, Specter). good guy or bad guy? What's the general opinion on these? Do they actually help? Or do they only look good? Bad for the airflow? ( as air comes from 2 different sides)? And then, if they are good, how good do these filter compared...

Factor in replacing all bearings and clutch plates while at it. Get the eaton plates instead of the snowflake plates when you replace them. Circlips will have fallen of and ground everything up. Any LSD additive will do.

What I have been wondering about, is an ac delco 4 heat range the same as NGK 6? Or 5? I've been getting conflicting answers about that topic. Wondering if my NGK 6 plugs are just one step too cold.

Originally Posted by sloinker Too rich. You say your old plugs didn't do this so I would go back to them and check to see if the problem mitigates by using them. Hard to believe a plug heat range could cause this much rich fouling. Just From the choke I think. Engine hadn't run for 5 weeks and...

Hi guys! Changing headers on my Chevy SBC and desided to do a comp test while at it. ( all 8 cylinders at 200 psi, so happy me) Anyway, found some hard deposits on some spark plugs. And I wonder what it could be. I do run a lead additive so might have overdosed on that ? I also changed the...

Hi guys! Does anyone have the efficiency rating of a K&N HP 2002 oil filter? Looking for it but can't seem to find it online. Trying to compare some filters before I buy one ( SBC 350 first gen) Cheers

Not really the point I'm trying to make. Just wondering if overdosing would lose power ( aka, if my 'logic' applies or not)
