My first thought was "That's a tiny little valve cover." From what I can see, it doesn't look bad at all. Now that you've changed the gasket, change the oil and filter.

There was a new miniseries of Stephen King's The Stand a few years ago. I only saw the first episode because it's on one of the many streaming services I don't subscribe to. It's a real commitment at 1000 pages or so, but the book is probably better than any of the video adaptations. I read...

A couple of earlier replies mentioned both of these. Hopefully they fit the budget. I stayed in DC at the Embassy Suites (by Hilton) Chevy Chase Pavilion, 4300 Military Rd. NW, as the overflow hotel for a conference. It cost more than I would have paid normally, but work reimbursed it. Very...

I'm partial to that color, too. My first car was a '70 Grand Prix. Two tons and tire smoke halfway through second gear. I wonder what the hose-tee contraption on the intake is. I'm used to seeing one hose from the manifold to the PCV, and a separate one from the back of the carb to the brake...

Pretty interesting stuff. They've come a long way from calf buckets, 8-cow milking parlors, and hay stacker wagons. My dad moved round bales with two homemade tines bolted to the bucket of a JD 4020. The narrator mistook chemical sprayers for irrigators several times, though.

How could I forget Tom Waits? Lyrics AND cowbell: And these character sketches:

Long story short: Frigidaire side-by side fridge started getting warm but the freezer was cold. I changed the defrost thermostat, and that helped a little, but the damper is also bad. There was ice below the evaporator, but not on the coils. Freezing up must have broken the damper. Long...

Lots of my favorites are probably more "singer-songwriters" than bands. Does that count? John Prine Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings James McMurtry Steve Earle Springsteen John Hiatt Leonard Cohen

Does your computer have a slot for the camera's memory card? If not, it must have USB ports. The easiest option might be to buy a USB card reader. I found one in a clearance section once that's just a little bigger than a USB thumb drive. It takes two different sizes of cards and fits the...

Some of my favorites-- Tom Petty: Mary Jane's Last Dance AC/DC: If You Want Blood (You've Got It) Metallica: Battery, Master of Puppets Grateful Dead: Friend of the Devil Black Sabbath: The Mob Rules Here's one musician's list of top electric guitar intros:

That's how I'm leaning. More than once, I've tried to fix something that worked and caused more trouble for myself. I'd like to change it on my schedule instead of the water heater's. Thanks for the other replies. Lots to think about.

This thread gives me a little hope. I just bought a house with a water heater that, according to the serial number, was made in 1993. The house was built in '94. We haven't moved in yet, but it makes hot water. The first thing I noticed was a plastic drain spigot at the bottom. Should I dare...

I ordered the Toyota kit from Amazon. What came did not have the actual Toyota red label. It had a green label, and was made by Servicerite for Southeast Toyota distributors. It very well may have been the same stuff in different cans. The big can of foam worked as advertised. The stuff in the...

It looks like they tossed the whole ashtray out the window awhile back instead of just dumping the butts at a stoplight.

The original broadcast made a real impression on me, as a jr. highschooler living about an hour from the nearest missile silo.

I think I threaded the screws into the existing plastic insert, and then put nuts and washers on the back. The screws in my kit are long enough for that to work. The kit also has black plastic covers that snap over the screw heads. This was on a pickup with a metal bumper. Plastic bumpers...

I had a tag stolen off my pickup at a motel in Reno. I was moving there, so I just called the issuing state to report it and then got Nevada tags. My first visit to a Pep Boys was for anti-theft license plate hardware, stainless steel screws with tamper-proof Allen heads. I can't remember if...

Any updates, Mrjlube? Did the dealer replace the heater core, or did you take other measures?

2018 Corolla seems to read about 2-3 mph fast around 70 mph. I bought a 2001 Silverado new, and it seemed to hold first gear for a lot longer than it needed to. I finally passed a mobile radar trailer one day and realized the speedometer was off. I already had a Hypertech programmer--it said...
