    And then it will once again make sense to turn rotors instead of replacing them.

    Best way to clean valves on this direct injection engine?

    Best way to avoid issues is to do the work and take the intake off. I used CRC Intake Valve Cleaner and a wire brush to clean the valves on my Focus ST, and I can tell you that just spraying it into the intake of a running engine is not going to do anything. That stuff has to soak and turn the...

    Gasket brand preference

    Yep, the shop originally did head gaskets on both, rear one is behaving itself and not leaking anything, so I'm not touching it.

    Gasket brand preference

    For giggles, I may call them and ask them for a '92 Montero cylinder head.

    Gasket brand preference

    SOHC. Never really gave any thought to calling a Mitsubishi dealer. It would shock the heck out of me if they were actually able to get one.

    Gasket brand preference

    Kind of a long ugly story. The 3.0 in my '93 Shadow got a remanufactured head put on after multiple failed attempts by my mechanic to stop an oil leak. Basically, I was tired of them piddling around and not actually accomplishing anything so I thought a new head would be the best route to...

    multiple break-in oil changes

    I've used your method on previous cars and had fine luck, with the exception of my Canyon which started burning oil at around 60,000, mi. I think that's more of an engine problem than it is a maintenance problem. Putting a mildly, the truck's been babied. I'm treating the Kia a little...

    multiple break-in oil changes

    I did mine at 200, 1000, 3000, 6000. 3000 OCI from here on.

    Hey guys, what's the brand reference out there these days? Subject is head gasket sets. Felpro, Apex, Enginetech, or....?

    People gas it so you cant switch lanes?

    Nope. Dallas pioneered it.

    Anyone else never own an oil burning vehicle?

    I wish I could say never, but the 3.6 in my 2015 Canyon finally broke the cycle. It doesn't burn as much as the dipstick would suggest, nevertheless, I don't like watching oil levels drop between OCIs. The pan is very narrow and deep, so when you see the oil level down by the add line, it's...

    What to do in 20 hour flight

    Ambien and noise-canceling headphones.

    Unwilling to accept the data, staying with 2-3k oil changes

    I too am opting on the side of caution. Hyundai doesn't exactly have the best reputation for their engine longevity, so I'm going to try my luck with taking extra good care of mine to see how it turns out. Every 3K (started at 200, 1,000, then 3,000) the Forte will get the best of the Walmart...

    Butter Softness

    I was raised on Country Crock and Parkay. You couldn't force feed that mess to me now.

    Butter Softness

    We've been using Great Value butter for years. It's pretty soft sitting out in the butter dish. We took a leap and tried Aldi's butter. It has a firmer, "unnatural" texture and doesn't get as soft, which makes me nervous about what may be in it. When we're out of it, we're not buying any more.

    Aldi testing at a single location $12 USD deposit to enter store in exchange for not having to check out.

    There's plenty of times I walk in there looking for something specific and walk out empty-handed. Not a chance.
