I was wondering which would be better if I wanted to do a piston soak, LC or FP . Thanks. CRW

Well you don't put the sealant on the oring. Anarobic sealant is ok to on the flange portion to help seal. It will not cause a gap, it is designed for clearances under .010". This is ok to use, doesn't affect orings. Cures in the absents of oxygen, and can be pressure tested right after...

Porterdog, Thats ok. Rob, Your safest bet is to use water when cold, brake clean might be ok. Anything with silicon is a big no no. CRW

NO THIS IS VERY CORRECT. So you are saying that Volvo, GM, and all after market training that I have are wrong? This is what I do, it needs to see outside air, there are two ways it does this, depending on design, one way is through the wires them self, and the other is the through the side...

Hey Drew, If you want to use a sealant don't use RTV, use a anaerobic sealer, it is designed for machined surfaces and tight clearances. GM has it in small tubes, Lock-tite also makes it. For this stuff to work you need very little film, if you can see through it, that will be enough. CRW

Remember that a O2 sensor measures Oxygen in the exhaust AND outside the exhaust, so if the O2 got real dirty on the out side, it may not function right, it needs a reference point so if it can't see that it won't work correctly. CRW

Just wait electric brakes are coming, total electric P/S , Delphi was working on a flywheel, starter, alt combo system. We will have 42 volts systems soon. 3 wire vehicle wiring. Volvo's XC90 has fiber optics for communication. Its all changing very fast. CRW

I was under the impression that it was a Federal law that they make manuals available. I could be wrong. Did you tell them these were not their cars, you payed for the MF ,it was yours. CRW

.030 to .035, that is a lot a of clearance. Did you have the crank turned? What undersize bearing did you use?? Did you measure the crank? The 3.4 have a softer crank then most, I had to replace 3.4 crank for the crank wearing and not the thurst bearing. If your crank is not true or...

The switch still works don't it????

Well in Diesels you will want silicates, what happens in most big diesels and alot in Ford diesels is that when the cylinder fires it expands, and when it contracts it leaves a air pocket around the cylinder, when this happens a piece of the cylinder flakes off, and you can get a pin hole in the...

Thanks for the help, I will let him know. CRW

I was telling a buddy about Auto-RX and Lube Control, and he had a question, I didn't know what to tell him. He wanted to know that after the RX cleaning, if he could run LC during the rinse cycle to help it. I didn't know, what do you guys think?? CRW
