I was wondering if these where the tires I've heard about that have excellent 1st season traction. Anyhow turns out they sold already. Also they were on daughters Acura and he had no clue how many miles and they were run 1st season - never rotated. He said could of been 10,000 miles on them no...

Will you be running studs or studdless? How much snow remains on the ground the majority of the winter? Deep snow? Long rural unplowed driveways?

If one is able to buy these tires used - just one season for $100 for all 4 not on rims do you think this is worth it. http://www.bridgestonetire.com/tireselector/GlamourIndex_BS_EN.aspx?productID=2007 Considerations: Mounting cost, no warranty, rebalance charges. Might be trying to unload...

For those of us who have CCW permits it's the gun that doesn't get left home because it's tough to conceal or plan around. For carry in the woods again it's the one that is stout enough but not so cumbersome that you are not inclined to leave in the truck or at home. I like a full throttle...

FWIW both of my Civics are rated for 87 octane but do not have the ability to retard the timing nor do they have knock sensors. Hotter weather and low rpm and even moderate loading and increased manifold pressure will produce pinging on 87 octane. Both require 89 in the summer and really get the...

A relative sent this to me and asked my expert advice. A few points may be correct however some of it smells of chain forwarded Hope this is not a

Just bought a Champion CT-470 oil filter cutter off eBay. The old classic Aviation can cutter. It arrived today and it doesn't work with smaller dia filters these days. So I ask what is a good value in a can cutter these days? Any recommendations? I prefer NOT made in China if possible.

Since M1 5W 30 runs so thin . . . Well you can run some M1 10w-30 HM. My local CHina -Mart can't keep the 10w-30 in stock.

I can always tell when people are lying. It's a gift. I tell the truth to my own detriment.

What engine & how many miles?

What I'm currently looking for is a 92-95 Civic VX that has been run with Amsoil's finest syn at up to 25,000 OCI 400,000 miles on original engine with full disclosed UOA & Amsoil MTF tranny fluid non-smoker car with a near perfect interior and only a few door dings. I will pay full blue book +...

Your mpg numbers are about what I would expect. What rpm is your engine turning at 70 mph? http://www.mobil1.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil1_Truck_SUV_5W30.aspx There is also a posting in the VOA or UOA comparing the numbers of all 3 flavors of M1 5w-30 oils "Regular", SUV & "EP" but I...

Congrats on the Si! I've been toying with buying the Si sedan myself. Anyhow . . . for warranty issues alone I would stick with the OEM spec filter. For issues of economy I'd buy the 5 quart jug of M1 SUV 5w-30 for $21.xx or so, tad better than regular M1 5w-30 for less money in 5 quart jug...

I've run Old style Mobil 1's Pure One NAPA Gold / Wix and many years ago the orange can of death. Never had any known isues with them. I have my severe doubts about the value of the spendy high end filters being worth the extra money. For a 6,000 OCI why nut just change out the filter at...

Alanu, Honda put out a SB http://www.underhood.com/editorial/ar/eb040518.htm And they are calling for a specific gasket and headbolt. So considering this issue what are the best bolts and gasket to get. Toque sequence is also different from the Honda Manual. Also should one use a special gasket...

Merkava, Thanks for all the Intel. Yes I worked as an A&P for a short spell in the late 80's. I've considered going back to it at some point but I've forgotten so much. Anyhow I'm my own boss now and I have very little stress and I set my own hours with a few exceptions. Just want to get this...

Just for the sake of clarity is this the "Full Synthetic" or "Syn blend"

Quite a number of posters here on BITOG do just that.

Back when I went to Aircraft Mechanic school it was stressed to do a leak down test on aircraft engines. I will consider buying these off ebay. Thanks for the help.
