    Low cost oil under valve cover reveal

    1997 Ford Escort 2.0 Bought the car with 117K on it. At 171K I installed a new head. This is a picture under the valve cover 100K later. Since the head installation the car has had nothing but Shell white bottle 5w-20 and QS3600 or FL-400S filters. I think it looks pretty good. <img...

    Switched to Android and never been happier

    All I have used is Android. I am happy with it until Google decides my battery needs drained in 30 minutes. I guess that's the price I have to pay LOL.

    I just serviced the 6F50 in my wifes Taurus X with Maxlife. It was doing fine before and is doing just as good (if not better) after. I believe I will use it in my '07 F-150 next service.

    Any .257 Roberts Reloaders On The Site?

    I have one. It's a fun cartridge. It is a Ruger M77MKIIUL and loves 75 grain V-maxes. My daughter uses it for deer. John Barsness wrote THE article on reloading the Roberts in an older issue of Handloader magazine. I'll try to find it if you are interested.
