    Dryer Vent Extension

    Yes Kev, I installed a similar one on mine, only made out of metal. Installed it before the 2-110 CFM vent boosters I had to install due to wrong location of vent end. Added about 20+ feet to the run. Dryer fan couldn't handle the push. Installed the secondary filter so not to clog up the...

    Slight rust on camshafts

    I'm not knocking you're expertise on this matter, this is just my opinion. If the lower end has 223k on it, how much life can there left in it, even though it passed compression test and what not. How are the bearings down below ? Nobody knows. That's the ONLY reason I said to put it all back...

    Reliable water pump brands?

    Was restoring 2 old Toyota's. 2AZ-FE - 4 bangers in them. Checked the OE pumps, had a tinge of play and no resistance left in them. Time to go bye bye. Not hard to access. Checked OEM prices. Nearly had a heart attack. Did my homework. Took hours to accomplish. Finally came across a winner...

    How to identify a Continental brand serpentine belt?

    You want a good serpentine belt ? Stick with OEM....I think Bando is Asian cars. Those belts can go 120k if you squirt them with some belt dressing or silicone every 50k. Gates is terrible, Conti makes good tires ( don't know about their belts ), forget Napa, Autozone, etc. All junk. You can...

    Slight rust on camshafts

    223k ???? The lower end can't be all what it's cracked up to be. Slap them in, use a heavier oil, hope for the best, call it a day. When it craps the bed, then worry about it.

    Dryer Vent Extension

    Repairman, tell that to the stupid builder who stuck the natural gas dryer in the middle of the house on the ground floor, ( It was already there when I purchased house ). Then proceeded to install vent directly under deck, on the house, 1' from a sliding door. Someone got a C.O. somehow. I...

    12V battery charger question

    Everyone has their preference. There are so many to chose from on the market. Mine is Noco Genius. They are weather resistant, the connections are built very well, and they don't get hot. But, again, that's my " preference"

    What Voids Your Car's Warranty? - The Car Care Nut Video

    I think I'll stick with my private sale used car. Not worth the aggravation. Fortunately, I know what to look for, what models to stay away from, etc. Unfortunately, most people don't have the knowledge on what to look for in a used car, so they buy new, lease, or get pre-owned with a warranty...

    Am I overthinking 120,000 miles?

    Most of the trucks you are looking for will be beaten to death. You just gotta find that needle in the haystack. Yes, easier said than done, but there out there, hiding somewhere..Just keep searching and maybe you'll get lucky. Now it's all about patience. Best of luck :)

    Not using OEM parts ( oil filters, air filters, etc ), and not having a paper trail to back up you're work with OEM part receipts to go along with paper trail.

    What are you working on today?

    Recovering from back surgery. Doing physical therapy by applying Collinite 845 over Jescar Ultra Lock + on my 03' Toyota Solara. Then as the Colinite dries, I'm putting Adam's Ceramic coating over my 06' Camry. Then take it all off when dry. Then I'm shot for 20 hrs. Don't want to get atrophy...

    Best penetrating lubricant

    Hands down. KROIL with a tad of the " blue wrench". Never failed me yet. It's flammable, so be careful around painted surfaces. I use it mostly on " Rust Belt" suspension parts.,,,and the occasional steel wheel stuck to the hub.
