Be sure to where gloves that are water proof (some kink of rubber or neoprene). If Gorilla Glue gets on your hands there is nothing that will get it off. It has to were off.

Thank you. I am aware of the drawing and the articles about how the Stirling works. I also am know about the patent being for an "economiser" and that essentially that was for the regenerative heat exchanger. From web sites about the Stirling engine it appears it was spelled with an s and not...

They are 5 hours ahead of us now. They have not yet gone to day light savings time. When the do they will be 6 hours ahead of us.

PS cam lobes could be worn down.

It use to be that besides octane, it could be valves requiring adjusting. Sometimes it was a worn timing chain, causing the cam to be out of time with the crank. Now days with hydraulic lifters usually the valves do not require adjusting. The timing chain could still worn to the point of having...

I sent them an e-mail a day ago. No return yet. I obtained a phone number today, and may call them. It is amazing that such a popular patent is so hard to get a copy of.

Does anyone know of a site where one can access an old U.K. Patent. The patent I want to look at is United Kingdom Patent no. 4081 by Reverend Dr. Robert Stirling for the economiser (regenerative heat exchanger) for his invention of the Stirling engine. I have tried the U.K. Patent site with...

For an emergency entrance only key that you hide outside the car, if the key has notches on both sides file the notches off one side. That way it will open a door if inserted proper side towards the tumblers, but can not work the ignition. Ignition requires both sides to have notches. Door only...

1976 Volare new tires that came on vehicle were 1 ply rated 2 (there was a big tire shortage due to a rubber shortage back then so the tires were made with as little rubber as possible, + the car came with an IOU a spare tire note from the dealer). Hit a pot hole, blew out right front at 40 MPH...

What are you worried about here? It is not like you are going to be going 35 to 65 MPH or more if that tire suddenly decides to fail and cause your vehicle to turn sharply to one side even though you turn the wheel sharply to the other side to try to fight it with no success. And it is not like...

I do not know what type of capacitors (if any, and there probably are some) the electronics uses. Some capacitors can be damaged by freezing,(though the freeze temperature is below 32 F). The point being that it is somewhat wise to not allow any electronic device (if you do not know for sure...

There was a spot on the TV about how the Titanic flexed in the middle too much so as to allow a V shaped gap to open to allow water to pour in. Then the center flooded and became too heavy. That cause the center to sink and cracked the bottom. The spot on TV said had that not happened the...

The OP leads off with something about shocks and Honda, but the post is about ride and a Chrysler PT. Makes me think that they are thinking of throwing a hundred or more dollars at the problem in the form of some expensive shocks. I have seen people do this for this problem and the result is...

It is the Torsion bar suspension that causes the bad ride on ALL Chrysler products. As far as shocks go, the rule of thumb for soft ride is go with the lowest cost shock, but expect low cost shocks to only last a couple of years. The last thing you want is an expensive shock made for keeping...

One of my brothers and his wife leased a Nissan Murano and the CVT went bad on it after a couple of years. It was replaced under warranty. I asked how much it cost and they said that the warranty covered it, but when they asked how much it would cost if they did not have a warranty the dealer...

Put your ice cubes in a zip lock bag to reduce Sublimation.

It is called Sublimation: when water molecules change directly from ice to gas. The inside of a freezer is very dry because moisture in the air condenses out of the air on the coldest surfaces of the evaporator of the refrigeration unit. Because the air is of low humidity Sublimation can occur...
