The rwd 3.7 engines do have seals between the back of the water pump housing and the engine block, inside the timing cover. These could fail and cause problems. The transverse 3.7 have the whole water pump inside the timing cover so when the crappy plastic pump fails in any way it will cause...

Sometimes these people don't know what they're talking about.

The oring will seal before the cap stops, so if you screw the cap down until it stops then you're good to go. It doesn't really need any torque beyond what It takes to push the oring down

The downside to turbo engines is some manufacturers take a cheap little aluminum 4-cylinder and stick a turbo on it. Bye bye rod bearings

Nates diy motor oil Step one: acquire the rights, permits and equipment to drill for oil, or build your own gtl processing machine (estimated cost: your soul)

Anything with efi and a computer controlled transmission is modern imo

Or a b57 diesel but you'll have to get a European market car for that Some had 4 turbos 390hp and 500ft-lb torque from the factory

Do you have a link? I'd like to know how they do it

This is why I like bmw 5 series. Almost a limo with sporty suspension and gobs of power. And the diesels get 35+mpg if tuned

I never realized what that icon was for until this thread. A triangle and a gas pump? What does that even mean?

I would try some marvel mystery oil. It cleans a tiny bit and can help with lifter tick and mild sludge. I don't add as much as the bottle says to because it's kinda thin.

I use QS just because it's only $2 more for a 5 qt jug. I would use super tech if there wasn't supposedly better oil for about the same price. I put lucas universal transmission oil (meant for tractors) in my transfer case because it says meets gl4

I like right fuelling just because I'm used to it, having driven German and Japanese cars mostly.

Same here. Front because im used to using my right hand to brake, both for faster stops or slippery surfaces

Just keep oil in the reservoir and you should be good. My grandpa's ktm 990 adventure bike has a dry sump. One of the relief valves failed, over pressuring the resivour and and pushing oil out. His solution (he was on a road trip) was to remove the little valve, which let the oil drain from...

This is why I try to keep as much distance as possible between me and other cars. If they cut across 4 lanes but I'm 1/4 mile away from any cars then I have space to react. When slow drivers or traffic lights make bunches of cars I like to stay in the empty space between the bunches Here in...

Look up Edison motors, they're building a hybrid-diesel truck

Now a supercharged /turbo I4 in a light car is fun. But I agree, the only real muscle cars are v8

So it's a pentastar with the Mercedes 5speed? The Mercedes transmissions are programmed a little weird but a transgo kit much improves the feel

Straight piped ford mustang or Chrysler minivan with the exhaust rusted off is what I imagine
