    B&S Lawn mower oil type recommendations

    I think that chart is a misprint. I am looking at the B&S manual that came with my new Toro Recycler. Synthetic 5w-30 covers the full temperature range on the chart.

    Valve train noise for the first time

    I removed the swirl plates and shaft about 5 years ago. That made a huge difference. They were pretty noisy when the car was idling.

    Valve train noise for the first time

    2005 Ford Focus 203,000 miles For the first time since 2006 my Focus has valve train noise for about 1 minute after I start her up in the morning. I guess the spaces in the cam buckets has opened up a little. She is running synthetic QS 5w-20. If you thought you could close the space in the...
