Disconnect ignition fuse before cranking without spark-plugs to avoid any chance of damaging the ignition system.

No, the B12 soak is actually a soak. Pull the sparkplugs and vacuum away all dirt in each of the sparkplug wells ( you may have to make a tube from thin sheet metal and tape that tube to the end of your vacuum hose to extend the vacuum hose to reach down into each sparkplug-well, and also vacuum...

I have never even seen these landing gear in person. That said, I would bet that when engineers design main gear shock absorbing systems, they can design in a much better ability to absorb impact with tall mains like those on aircraft with the engines below the wings, compared to the much...

There is SPECULATION of wind gust, and even down draft. I was thinking that a rear engine jet had more of it's fuslagage ahead of the wings to help balance the engines weight aft. And aproaching in a crab then transitioning to align with the runway requires a lot of rudder forces being applied...

Sounds like time for additional screaning to be added to that intake.

About 5 years ago in the mostly poor mostly minority use to be a decent steel mill town of McKeesport, someone had their vehicle repaired by a shop, and shortly after they got it back it broke again. There was a disagreement between the mechanic and the customer about the second repair so the...

Some bug smashers can handle abuse like that but not something that heavy.

Playing a song on my 1994 Taylor 815 CE steel string acoustic guitar with a new set of strings, and I not making any mistakes.

No ( or not enough ) flair to provide that nice soft initial touch of the mains we all like. I wonder what the airport and landing runway looked like from the pilots view. Was there too much snow on the runway combined with snow blowing around close to the ground combined with anything else...

Now that I know it's a car, not an suv, I know it has a car type trunk lid. Out 2001 Impala (car) trunk had water getting in if parked facing downhill. The slope of the sides beside the trunk were less than the slope of the hill we live on. So water would accumulate in the forward corners of...

Remove the spare and dry that area, then sprinkle something that will show that it got wet such as baking soda, flower, or baking powder all around in the spare tire area. Then wait for it to get rained on or hit it with a water from a hose. That should show you exactly where it is coming in to...

EOL parts should have a required proof of destruction system with documentation. Do they?

Model, year, and trim level? Vehicles are 3D jigsaw puzzles of stamped sheet-metal, spot-welded together. Spotwelding is not a continous weld, so seam-sealer is used to prevent water getting past those joints. Seam-sealer degrades over time and let's water in. Lights also can let water in...

I would not let them touch my vehicle ever again.

Dealership Hiring Quiz: Dealer: Will you work for this low wage. Applicant: Yes Dealer: Congregations, you are now a Dealer Mechanic. End of story.

CC2 is a fantastic tire. They cost a lot, but last a very long time.

I just bought a new bottle of the McCormick Peppermint. The previous bottle had a nice flip lid that helped dispense only a drop or two at a time. Unfortunately, I had thrown that empty bottle and cap away. The new bottle just has a screw on and off cap. This makes it harder to dispense just a...

Bingo, a lower mileage more recent year Camry. Reliable, safe, economical, and easy to fix if something does go wrong. Find one that has a clean carfax with history of regular oil changes. Change any fluids that are old, brake fluid, Trany fluid, coolant, and throw on a set of factory wiper...

When I changed brake fluid and cleaned and lubed everything on my crv in 2021, I opened the bleadees before compressing the calipers. The front passengers side caliper was full of black fluid, where as all the others had regular color. I was glad I did not just force it back up into the ABS and...

Remove the EGR valve and clean out both the gas in and gas out passage ways. A thin braded steel wire like the ones used for hood and gas cap release, put into a hand dril works well. It gives you length to get all the way in, and the end bouncing around from turning knocks loose the carbon...
