I've had good luck with the 3M kit that has varying grits of sandpaper included with it. I just use a little compound every so often to get them looking nice again.

I almost always back into a spot if its one that has a curb behind it. I like to park next to other drivers that back in because (in my eyes at least) they made the extra effort to back their vehicle in and I run less risk of being on the receiving end of doors slamming my car etc. because...

I took the car apart this past weekend and inspected everything, the area between the rad and condesor was clean both fans are cycling correctly. I did find a small leak in the radiator where the end tanks attach to the core so I replaced it and so far it seems the problem is fixed. I made my...

Thanks for all the input guys. I'm going to tear into it this weekend and I will update with what I find.

Hi guys/gals. Its nice and hot now so naturally its time for my car to overheat/ac malfunction. Ive been having this issue lately since the temps here have been up. I drive the same route everyday to work on the highway and on the trip to work there are never any issues, the return trip is when...

If the pliers trick doesn't work try using a chisel or screwdriver at an angle and slowly tap it with a hammer to thread it out.

I have owned a couple D21 trucks and worked on many over the years. I am willing to bet once you replace the timing guides, tensioner and chain the noise will stop. The KA24 engine has an issue with the loose side chain guide breaking apart as the chain gets stretch and slaps against it causing...

Is the varnished area in a part of the dipstick tube that is near or between a part of the exhaust manifold? I have seen several older Honda's that have a varnished area of the dipstick where it feeds down through the manifold. If so could the heat of the manifold be baking the oil onto the...

We have literally rebuilt the walls, floors and rafters in campers and motorhomes that are only a year or two old. Its a good practice to check all the possilbe leak prone areas often.

Apparently mine did just this week as well as 5 quart jugs of M1 0w40.

Was at Walmart tonight and was planning on getting more PU for my next oci and saw the new M1 5w20HM and decided to try it. Will change the current fill in about 500 miles. I may get a uoa done on the M1 if there isnt one on here by that time. Its SL rated and not energy conserving.

Mine has all the versions of Pennzoil but only has ultra in single quarts. I did find M1 0w40 in 5 quart containers and most of the M1 had been cleaned out except for the 0w40.

Im glad you had success. But you have unleashed the fury of BITOG by posting about this product.

Go ahead and do yourself a favor and reseal EVERYTHING on that thing. Our family business is RV repair and over half of the ones that we repair are due to inadequate sealing of windows and vents and such on the roof from the factory.

I can tell you from my own experience that I have had turbocharged engine misfire badly in the upper rpms with too wide of a plug gap. After this happened I typically gap on the lower end if a range is given. You could probably adjust the gap one way or another until you can sense a decrease in...
