    Tire puncture - Is this fixable?

    I have plugged similar, and had great luck. If it was my car, I would plug it. My kids or my wife...probably replace.

    Hasty update, Belsize aluminum bikes for boys

    The earlier you can get a new rider on a multi-speed bike, the faster and better they learn. My son graduated to a 5 speed 20" bike as soon as his coaster bike bored him. Belts are fun, but if you can't shift gears....ugh

    At what temp will an engine with water freeze?

    Yes it does, and why I do a proper winterization every fall. We have had unseasonably warm weather that allowed that fall task to slip down the list.

    At what temp will an engine with water freeze?

    Yes, yes...I know how to winterize an I/O...I do appreciate the reply though. I will have to drive the boat from the slip to the trailer...so hate to do the winterization work twice.

    At what temp will an engine with water freeze?

    My last boat had a closed circuit cooled 496...it still wasn't that simple, but easier than a normal rig. Been doing it many years...I just always get nervous on those first cold nights when I don't have it done yet.

    At what temp will an engine with water freeze?

    I'm quite certain it would not be useless. MANY folks have kept an engine from freezing by throwing an incandescent light bulb in the engine bay. My batteries and charger (15 amp) are sitting in that closed engine bay with a fabric cover over the boat. The heat generated by the charger and...

    At what temp will an engine with water freeze?

    Maybe this belongs in the boating section, but I was thinking it would apply to race cars, and anything where folks might not use anti-freeze. Tonight is supposed to dip down to 28F...my boat is still sitting on the water (on a lift, out of the water, but under a cover). Obviously the water...

    Speeding ticket

    Cute ideas...guessing you guys have not lived near a major metropolitan area, and certainly not driven in one during a busy time. I set my cruise for the speedimit here...I am a sitting duck, just waiting to get killed. Folks are literally dodging around me at the last second only to let the...

    Ball Bearing Age vs. Wear

    I would have suggested 360+15 degrees to get all rollers through the load zone, and hopefully in contact with lubrication.

    Tire (or wheel) SOUND mystery

    Swap front for rear tires...if it follows, it is tires. If it doesn't, most likely bearings, or half shaft.

    Monroe, Gabriel or KYB quick struts?

    For my personal taste I would go KYB...but I have put Gabriel QS in three different cars and been overall very impressed for the cost.

    Ball Bearing Age vs. Wear

    @wings&wheels - I don't know of the particular issues of this bearing, or the system you describe. I can only make comments from a former bearing application engineer perspective. -if the components are not moving (NOT AT ALL) than you can negate your concerns of pressure on a bearing while...

    Post up response received from Fram about your quality concerns

    I have only dealt with Fram quality once...when I had an oil filter on a BMW X3 fail. I had clear pictures, clear notes, and it was documented here on this forum...but in the end I had to supply a receipt for the oil and filter to get any kind of rebate. Both of which I didn't keep for a...

    Feeling harder this morning...already excited for the gym this afternoon (wish my lower back wasn't hurting, my nervous system is ready for a killer deadlift workout) @OVERKILL - may want to check this one out. New band for me. There is some melodic singing...for a summary skip to 1:30...
