    New mechanical tip

    I’ve always wondered why the old flat head V8 Fords had a single exhaust out of the cylinder head for the two middle cylinder’s. Looking at the exhaust manifold, they look like a V6. And a water pump for each bank!

    3k vs 5k Synthetic OCI

    I’m exactly in the same boat as the OP. My wife’s 2008 Pontiac Solstice 2.0T DI Ecotec was GM’s first DI turbo engine ( starting in 2006 ) and are known to have carbon deposits accumulate on the back of the intake valves. I do use BP 92 octane fuel. Bought used in February of 2023 with 32,000...

    Michelin Defender Problem

    Same here. I went round and round with Michelin a decade ago for the same issue. Initially denied then called Michelin and they agreed to replace the tire for “only” 100 dollars through DT . I agreed ( at least it was something) and haven’t bought a Michelin tire since!

    All In One Vegetable Spice

    I just got home from Longhorn Steak House where we redeemed a gift certificate from Christmas for a decent NY Strip, nice salad and a surprisingly good baked potato. The table had plastic salt and pepper grinders and I used the pepper grinder on my salad and potato. :eek: Hopefully, like your...

    Picked up a new used tractor. New Holland GT / Toro 520Lxi

    Nice! How many hours? That Kawasaki twin will run forever. I have around 2,000 hours on my 1998 501V and it still runs great. What oil are you planning on using? I use 15w40 Rotella T5 in mine.

Ive tried Redline and Motul synthetics in my primary and neither shifts as...

    Discount tire only balanced the inside of the tire.

    The lead “ pound on “ weights are unsightly and can scratch the wheel lip. I specifically tell the installer to NOT put weights on the outside of my alloy wheels. I’ve never lost a stick on weight that I’m aware of.
