x2 on the tiger direct. You can get a refurbished desktop with xp still, and really cheap.

not if they settle to the bottom of the pan, and never get sucked up the pick up tube! Either way, the only benefit of the magnet in my opinion, is you can see the metal. otherwise it will go out in to the drain pan, or get stuck in the filter.

I like the sounds of the delvac oil too! I think it is on top right now. I will start with some 10w 30/40 mineral oil for the break in, then go on to the delvac.

I was thinking the same thing. I wasn't even going to acknowledge it. When I am done with my car, you are more than welcome to come take a ride in it. It sure isn't going to be a M5, but it will be a NICE car!

as of right now, It is just a Daily driver. I would love to get on a road coarse with it sometime though! The amsoil dominator, souds real nice. That is what I was looking for, a special oil for alcohol. But, I checked out the amsoil web site and I don't see anything about it being special for...

seriously?

any suggestions on weight?

ok, I have a 99 neon with a 2.0 DOHC I have completely rebuilt it. It now has 11.5 to 1 compression and large cams, and I am running it on E85. what would be the best oil?

It is not a flex fuel vehicle. It is an E*% vehicle now. I installed 40% larger injectors and a fuel controller to tune with. It was not tuned exactly right at first. It was rich as [censored] for a while. I had the head completely rebuilt 3500 miles ago, new valve seals. valve job, and resurfaced.

this may or may not be oil related... But what causes the sludge on the top of the valves in the intake side of the head? I have a rebuilt head I put on about 3500 miles ago, I am having bottom end engine problems now. Anyway, I am tearing it down, and there is quite a bit of sludge and gunk on...

well here is a little more info. I bought an engine that was rebuilt, then ran for 500 miles break in period buy this person. Then he raced, he rally raced, crashed his car after a weekend or two. The engine had 543 miles on it when I got it. I bought the short block form him, put my own head on...

I have a rebuilt engine, built by a professional well known shop. It is a neon engine, that was rebuilt right. Forged internals, had everything resurfaced and honed. The point is, it was done right. How long will break in debris, be in the oil?

as far as the air filter goes. with a fuel injected engine, the air filter will NOT make a difference. Unlike carborated cars of ancient times. Fuel injected cars adjust the amount of fuel to match the amount of air coming in. Most cars, will always maintain a set A/F ratio (somewhere around...

Amsoil 15w 40 heavy duty diesel/marine, really, you should check into this oil!

My father-in-law runs strait 30 year round here in Michigan. He is paranoid of VII. He has put well over 200,000 miles on several vehicles with it. He was a diesel mechanic years ago, when the VII were a problem.

Amsoil 15w-40 Heavy Duty diesel marine! Great thermal resistance for high temp turbos. Low in VII!

I got an oil pressure gauge! with mobile 1 5w-30 it has cold idle 55psi warm idle 23psi warm 3000rpm 63psi witch is more than most neon owners get! I am going to change the oil again it 500 miles to check for metal flakes again though.

Leaking valve seals will burn oil more than just at start up. When you start it up there is just an accumulation of oil there to burn. The rest of the time there is just a very small amount being burned. Also if you have a manual transmission. When you rev the car high, and let off the throttle...

I had thought it could be break it debris, but after 3 oil changes and 1700 miles still. I plan on getting a oil pressure gauge anyway. I will put that on and see what I get, before I rip the engine apart. I wouldn't mine pulling the engine, but taking the engine all the way apart and...
