So I happened to come across this VOA for Valvoline Premium Blue Restore. Link for those interested. I searched and I couldn't find any VOAs for this oil yet on BITOG.

Finally finished up polishing my prelude wheels and got the tires mounted and bolted them on. Edit: It shows upside down and I have no idea how to fix it from my phone.

So I spent a little while on this rainy day polishing some wheels. Two down two to go.

Some pics of my Integra while changing valve stem seals.

Has anyone else noticed a lack of Castrol oil at their local Walmart? The one in my town usually has a full supply of nearly every grade but for the last month (possibly longer) they have not restocked any Castrol oil. There a just a couple jugs of random grades of Edge left.

Spent some time with Dad this weekend. Now that he is retired he has decided to sell the building he ran his business from for the last 50 years so we have been going through everything. Thought someone might find this interesting.

Took the time today to install new valve stem seals and new upgraded lost motion assemblies from Honda. I included a comparison pic of the new and old lost motion assemblies

I'm in the process of gathering parts to rebuild the front of my Integra and have sourced Sankei tie rods and ends. I came across Centric upper control arms on Rock Auto and was curious about the quality.

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...

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.

I have a friend that bought a 97 F150 4.6 about a year ago. It recently started spark knocking horribly so they got the plugs changed and replaced all four o2 sensors. Now the spark knock is back very bad under load and the engine misses really bad. Any ideas? Maybe a knock sensor? Haven't had a...

Hi all, I recently purchased a 1990 Nissan pickup with the KA24E engine. The first few days I drove it, it was overcooling temp would just barely be above cold mark. I think thermostat stuck open. That goes on for a couple days then on my way home it begins to overheat (it was running cold the...

So I was looking at a PL14610 I had for another car that I never used and found this protrusion into the center tube. There are no signs of the filter ever being dropped or anything to damage it. Sorry about the pictures its kind of hard to get the camera to focus down the center tube.

Well I am about 90 miles shy of 105k so what better way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon. Here is the new belt installed. I realize the marks on the belt dont line up but its because the engine has been turned. Upon disassembly I found this on my crank pulley. Here is what was replaced...

I got home and found a AAA race trailer with this inside. We were doing some work on the generator on the trailer. They had us put a roof A/C on it last year but there wasnt a car in it! Its an M1 filter btw.

I recently aquired a 01 f250 that was due for an oil change so I used Delo and felt ok with that. After some reading on here many have said that the 7.3 HPOP will shear a 40 down to a 30 rather quickly and sort of stabilize there. So that being said some have claimed it is better to start off...

Im going to look at a 2000 model dodge ram 2500 with the cummins 24 valve this weekeind. My question is to any experts or owners what are some things I should check for other than the usual suspects on this truck? Thanks for any help or input.

OK heres the deal. 01 jetta 1.8t. The "BRAKE" light on the dash is lit up and sounding a buzzer constantly when i drive like the hand brake is on. I checked the handbrake switch and the low brake fluid switch in the master cylinder and they are both functioning correctly. I have been told that...

I had PU in my Subaru but had to drain the oil prematurely when my upgraded oil pickup arrived. I have seen a few UOA's on the delvac and it looks stout. Any opinions on using it in the turbo Suby. I dont really drive it that hard just a few WOT runs occasionally. Im sure some will say it will...
