    Electronic Valves for IC Engines ?

    I have done a little research on this, and very little has been done in the way of electronic valves for modern day engines. I have seen some info where they still use a cam, but in my opinion there is no reason to use a cam when a board the size of a watch could be used instead, and eliminate...

    Is there any difference between a hydraulic, and oil filter. I think I have read where a hydraulic filter filters down to a small particle size, however this is of very little concern to me as the application is a sunstrand pump on a IH Cub Cadet. I was going to cross reference the original...

    Some problems BITOG has caused me (all in fun)

    I have always changed my own oil, and my parents from pre teen years, so I guess I was born with the bug (I'm also a machine technician by trade) so now the new bug is purchasing oil for absurd savings...this is complete opposite to picking out a good high price oil that is top of the...
