    Kawasaki 750GPZ

    The red ones are '83; '84's were silver (I had one) the 1100's were fuel injected...and fast for the time. The GPz 750's responded really well to the Dynojet carb kit with individual K&N filters, and a sprocket change. I sold mine the summer of 1994 prior to a military PCS move...that thing was...

    Motor Trend reports on a Honda Dealership experience.

    This little story is interesting, especially if I knew the lug nuts had not been touched since the factory assembly. If it were me (as we are multi-generational Honda owners), when they tried the "What do you want to do?" I would have asked them, "What are YOU going to do?" When that question is...

    Total fluid capacity of 2018 CR-V CVT?

    The owner's manual doesn't have the total quantity under specifications; change amounts are 3.9 qt/3.7 L for FWD models, 4.5 qt/4.3 L for AWD models. I believe the FWD models are just over 8 qts total if I remember. I change ours out after setting overnight, drain then refill with same amount +...

    2017 CRV 1.5T Valve Adjustment

    Once upon a time we used to follow the "Tappy valves are happy valves" philosophy. Cams were different, oil was different (60's & 70's) All the Honda's we've owned and that I have worked on, exhaust valves were slightly tight, intakes were fine, I always tried to make them as close to the same...

    2021 Tacoma - 2GR-FKS - 508mile 'Break-in' sample

    There was talk for a long time on the Tacomaworld forum about V6's running rich for the first 20K miles or so and then magically leaning out. ECM programming? Me personally, I think its just the engine work hardening itself into sealing up. I'm far from a powertrain//induction engineer but the...

    Fuel injector cleaner

    In a direct injected vehicle, I would start a maintenance practice at maybe 10K-20K miles depending on driving habits. A bottle of Redline Si-1 in the tank prior to your planned oil change is a starting point.

    Things That Make You Go, "Hmmmm......"

    If I can piggyback with one from my now passed father, I believe it was either Mark Twain or Einstein that said, "Never argue with an idiot, all they do is drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

    Boxed Jambalaya

    As a single guy in the USAF stationed in the Florida Panhandle (way back in the mid 80's) I used alot of Tony's! We tried to get over to NOLA 3-4 times a year (to include Mardi-Gras of course) but nothing beats the real thing prepared authentically!

    Engine Oil Filter Magnets?

    I purchased my Filter-Mag's many years ago and have used them as intended. They have increased significantly in price over the years; I can tell you that when I cut open my filters for a look (mostly curiosity) they do catch ferrous material that sticks to the sidewall of the filter. When you...

    Hurst Injector Cleaning service

    I had 2 sets of low mileage injectors previously cleaned and prepared for storage to use in my Tacoma V6. I’m getting ready to swap in my last set at 128K and will again have my 2 spare sets cleaned and prepared. Hurst does A+ work and I recommend them highly.

    Drain and fill of '14 Odyssey

    While I don't service an Odyssey, my parent's 2003 Accord LX V6 gets treated to Idemitsu Type H-Plus ATF. I started using it when my low price source for DW-1 went away. I did the 3x D&F to clean out old fluid then a fresh refill, also swapped out the little pink filter cartridge which is...

    TOYOTA 90915-YZZF1 same length alternative?

    You might try a Wix 57145, that will get you close. Here is a link you can save for oil filter cross reference searching, I use it all the time. Oil Filter Cross-Reference Hastings Filters has a size chart search under "Catalog Information" you start with English or Metric measurements and go...

    Lube Control Products FP Plus LC20

    I saw that on Google Earth, the shipping address leads to a semi-rural, multi-garage/storage looking building. I suppose the shipping address could have been a drop-depot of some kind; I guess we'll never know as I haven't gleaned any new information. Short of a previous owner stumbling onto...

    Lube Control Products FP Plus LC20

    Thanks for the detective work; I tried the number contained in that document and it goes to the Domain Management Company. They had no valid voice number to LCD Inc. / Lube Control. COVID business victim maybe?

    Lube Control Products FP Plus LC20

    I have been trying to order FP Plus for a while now but the Lube Control website no longer has access to order their products. Shopify page comes up like they let the web store lapse; I also cannot find a phone number anywhere on their site. My previous orders have shipped from Argyle, TX; does...
