    1987 Jaguar XJ6

    ah yes, i've found jag lovers before and surfed it, but i found it very un-userfriendly.. i do not like the layout of that site at all by the way, i talked to my friend last night and he said that his is the 24 valve actually.. and its not so skimpy w/ power, he said he's actually enjoying it...

    1987 Jaguar XJ6

    yeah we've heard and read about that stuff before.. it seems that his wouldn't work though, the kits on that site are for 72-86 xj6.. if his was an xjs it would work.. what is xjs btw?

    1987 Jaguar XJ6

    i never have really liked the automotiveforums.com.. too big.. a nice jaguar specific standalone forum would be nice, with a lotta active members i'll try that place though hopefully u guys could still assist me w/ oil recommendations and the additive part of my Q (ur the best )

    1987 Jaguar XJ6

    My friend has one of these.. the body is fully restored and it looks spectacular, but it doesn't run as good as it looks. Well, it runs fine, all the features work and everything and its a dependable daily driver, but it doesn't perform as well as it should. I am assuming that the air filter...

    EnergyCel and FrictionFree 3000

    Well I ordered a couple bottles of Friction Free 3000 (FF3k) today. My friend said his lifters are still silent and I'm looking forward to trying this stuff out. You see, in our G1 Acura Legends, it is very difficult to be completely rid of lifter ticking. I believe it would take 3-4 treatments...

    EnergyCel and FrictionFree 3000

    http://www.antismog.info/products/EnviroKit/index.htm A few people on the acura-legend.com forums have mentioned using this "Friction Free 3000" product and I came here to research it up a bit yielding no results. I wanted to perhaps introduce this product to you all to see what you can dig up...

    ARX w/ Restore

    Yep Yep, I'm all prepared to do that now. Basically its just a standard treatment now, but I have yet to make a 100% definite decision on which brand of 10w-30 I plan to use...

    ARX w/ Restore

    The filter is twice the size of the normal ones, it comes from the acura dealership. i bought it off of a friend in california who has a father that runs a honda/acura specialty auto shop. I'm sure its better for performance, thats why I didn't feel the need to be this specific again, this is...

    ARX w/ Restore

    I've heard that adjusting the exhaust valves will not solve my lifter ticking, it will only help slightly. This is a very very common issue on the Legend forums and I have read up on it well. I've been researching and discussing this stuff since I got my car. The ticking with Penn5w-30 was a...

    ARX w/ Restore

    It seems like we are drifting off subject a bit now. I'm positive the lifters are ticking, I've been on the Acura-Legend.com forums for a long time now. High Mileage oils have been used since 1997, Valvoline was the brand and I still had ticking for a while after it was changed. I want to save...

    ARX w/ Restore

    Thank you very much Nice reply. Hopefully you can understand that I'm mature enough to understand that I'm just being a stupid teenager with my reasoning here, but I'm also stubborn like many teenagers and I want to stick with my instincts lol. My ticking has never been completely gone. The...

    ARX w/ Restore

    I knew I'd get at least one of these replies. I'm not interested in picking up "babes" or whatever you think I am. I am just embarrassed when the ticking turns heads. Its unwanted attention and I get embarassed by it. I know its silly and I shouldn't care what others think, and I know that I'll...

    Oil for rebuilt `74 VW Engine

    My family has a dune buggy that has a rebuilt 1974 VW Beetle engine in it and I need to know what oil to use in it. The buggy was built w/ the frame and front/rear ends from a 65 VW as well as engine and tranny, but after having some problems with the `65 engine we put in this rebuilt 1600cc...

    Lifter Tickage! grrrr

    i went to go get my oil today.. i couldnt pass up the advice i got from a fellow legend owner (who introduced me to this board) which was to get German Castrol Syntec 0w-30. I picked up 5 quarts of the stuff from my local autozone and i'm getting 3 of those big NSX oil filters shipped over...
