Originally Posted By: bubbatime Those engines were notorious for piston slap. That could be what you are hearing, instead of "lifter tap" The pistons expand when they warm up and stop slapping. When they are cold they slap around the bore. Not a big deal. I've never heard this in my life, and...

I have a PulseTech charger and LOVE it! Bought it on the recommendation of a friend in the powersport business. I have the model that maintains 4 vehicles via a quick disconnect pigtail hardwired at each battery. This thing works great, and will seriously prolong the life of any battery you kept...

Originally Posted By: Reg# 43897 Originally Posted By: bullwinkle Soot is also present in pre-EGR diesel engines, just not as much of it. Modern diesel motor oils are designed to agglomerate, i.e bunch together, tiny soot particles into bigger ones so that the oil filter can catch them. That's...

I think this is a cool project! As somebody mentioned earlier in the thread, if your engine block shares dimensions with the Rocket 350, then a 4 speed manual transmission that was offered in the olds cutlasses of that era, is certainly another transmission option besides the TH400. . I dont...

Originally Posted By: SteveSRT8 As a last resort prior to teardown a shot of Kreen may work wonders. I have used it in several old engines, some have had amazing results. In others it did nothing. But it is worth a shot. It DISSOLVES carbon like magic! Just remember that no snake oil is ever...

Well, like the OP said in the 1st post, times are tough for me right now, so I think i'm gonna trade in my truck on a new Lamborghini Aventador. I'm only going to get the base model one, so as to maximize my savings. I figure with less content, it surely weigh less & with how much driving I do...

A few years back, I was given a case of Citronella Tiki Torch lamp oil. I burned a few gallons of it per tankful in my Dodge diesel pickup with no adverse effects. Made the exhaust smell faintly like citronella but that's about it.

Ive had nearly the same issue at Midas. Of course they wouldnt own up to it. Ive never done business with them again. I am curious to see how all this works out.

Ok, well what is it & what do you use it for?

This just recently happened to my 1978 Mercedes-Benz 300CD, which previously didnt leak a drop of trans fluid. As the car is a semi recent purchase, I am in the process of going through and changing all fluids, everywhere. The ATF that was in it looked a little "off color", but definitely wasnt...

i had a "Cycle Tron" battery last for 9 years, and it was 2 yrs old when I got it! I always kept it plugged in to a Battery Tender when not in actual use. They really do make an enormous difference in the lifespan of a battery!
