I think its likely from an old washing machine, commonly the first motor that was brought into the home. I have had several over the years.

Fuel dilution issue.

A few years back I changed the oil in my compressors using Royal Purple reciprocating compressor oil. Like the OP, I wasn't sure what oil to use and I thought it would be a fun experiment. It proved to be a GREAT choice! Cut the noise dramatically on my 60 and 27 gallon compressors; made the 8...

I like to use Lubriplate assembly lube. I had a 1975 50th anniversary Midget that my step father bought new. It was a fun car

Dang, I wanted to see that vid.

I have the same 5sfe engine in 2 Camry's I own, a 93 and 2000. As you can see in my sig, the 93 has over 425k. For years I used 1/2 quart of high mileage oil on top of the 4 quart fill, kinda to fill the oil filter and cut down on oil consumption and a slightly leaky rear main seal. It worked...

Run a pressure test on the cooling system. If it's not holding pressure pull the spark plugs and have someone spin the engine over while you watch the spark plug holes. If you get some coolant -not gas- spraying out it's bad news for the head gasket. On the overheating, it's possible to get a...

I've had good service from Advance Auto's batteries. Most of the ones I have purchased - maybe 10 over they years - have lasted past their warranty period. I think they are likely Johnson Controls around here.

Obviously not BITOG people.

Looks like the van driver died instantly, hopefully. Sad.

Feeling a bit like a mushroom? I get that a lot too.

What car is this on? I've had that same "Clunking" problem on Camry's and it was the rear sway bar bushing. If you want to check the strut, you can turn the nut CCW a few turns and bounce the car a little while watching what the strut rod does. Dont let the hood hit your head! Get a friend to...

There was an advertisement on TV for a local place that does the surgery. It had a woman who said,"While I was in his office, those nice people, somebody painted all the lines back on the roads."

You might check an industrial maintenance supply place nearby. Be sure and have the dimensions of the original. I found some bearings for a mower spindle at one kinda near me. But that was a few years ago so... good luck!

I agree. A quality biscuit joiner carefully used can make flush joints consistently. I suggest lots of practice and test fits before moving into expensive stock. There have been arguments about biscuit joiners going on for many years, if not decades. I think what ever works for you is best...

Originally Posted By: Chris142 The secret is how clean the system is and proper amount of oil. This For the compressor warranty, I believe you have to flush all the other components in the system and refill each with the recommended type and amount of oil. You will likely need some new...

All the new 2 stroke power equipment is set to idle very and I mean dangerously lean. I work on a lot of small engines as a hobby and usually one of the first things I do is pull the carb and "Defeat" the limiter screws. Many of the caps can be pulled off the mixture screws and reinstalled after...

Spend some money on a good high quality 1/2" impact and you will never regret it. Then get a less expensive (Cheap) 3/8" impact to use on smaller and hard to get to fasteners. The Harbor freight impact sockets are inexpensive and plenty good for non-professional use. Actually I've seen several...

Synthetic "Oil" is better than petroleum and will have no problem handling your driving, and it's not extreme by any stretch of the imagination. I think you have scared yourself with all the seemingly conflicting posts. A good NAPA (synthetic media) filter and any syn oil will do very well. In...
