    Warm up with piston slap?

    This might be a fun twist on a question we have debated before. I know the general consensus for very cold mornings is to get it, start the car, put on seat belt, adjust HVAC, mirrors, etc...make sure engine is off the initial very high idle, and drive slowly away. I do this in my vehicles, as...

    Main Reasons for Valvoline R&P Popularity : Extended OCI’s + Low Tension Rings ?

    Main Reasons for Valvoline R&P Popularity : Extended OCI’s + Low Tension Rings ?

    Assuming UHC's are referencing unburned hydrocarbons... I thought HC emissions went DOWN as MPG went up, signifying a more complete combustion cycle. I believe as UHC's go down, and MPG go up, you get an increase in NOx. Am I miss-reading your comment about "UHC goes with MPG"?

    You can NEVER have too much subwoofer. Like saying too much power...you don't have to use it all, but it is there when you need it. That's why I have dual 18" with 3kW each :cool:

    Substandard repair work after truck damage - advice/help?

    No problem at all...thanks. I will say IMHO it did fit, not that you did not make it better. Define Fraud a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.
