I absolutely love these engines. We've owned a few. Cheapest SOPUS or Chev Supreme @ 5k intervals. I imagine it was pretty clean until it started burning oil at 230k. All original except for a starter motor, water pump and fuel pump. How much blow by do you want? Because this engine makes all...

I bit on the goodyear black friday deal. I had an appointment at 1pm, I wasn't in my vehicle driving off until 5pm. They kept me hostage with my car on the lift with all 4 wheels off it for 4 hours. Nobody to be found. Later they told me they broke all 4 hubcaps and they would refund me the...

Just curious if anyone knows exactly what part of the clutch/fork/TOB whatever actually went bad in this scenario. Good grabby clutch that operated seemingly normal (150k truck miles, though), grabbed in the middle of the pedal travel. After sitting, gears barely engage, clutch only grabs at...

Flagger flagged us over it, the pools of black looked like water from the water truck. Nope. Puddles of tar.

Any filter, clean no oil, oiled, it doesn't matter. Once it starts and runs you can put the filter back on and it runs great. Starts back up right away. I am not a briggs guy. No idea what is going on.

I just bought a car and it has an armor-all like greasy detailer on the interior plastics. In the past I would use a 50:50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and warm water, but I don't know if that is still the best option as this car isn't a beater like I usually buy. It's a 2015 Golf.

Previous owner of my friends Jeep did a lot of really asinine modifications.

Was running beautifully. Reached operating temperature, shut off as if someone hit a killswitch. Will not start no matter what I do. Clean spark arrester, fresh 50:1 mix, beautiful blue spark from a new plug. Will not fire at all from starting fluid sprayed into the carb or directly into the...

Gotta be honest I've never had to change a bad harmonic balancer and I don't even know how they work. I know some are damped but I don't know if this one is. I noticed a clicking tensioner sound while idling.

I did the front brakes on a Toyota pickup and I did the front bearings as per the FSM and it says 18ft.lbs for the final torque after backing off from fully tight to seat the bearing into the race. But that seemed much too loose. I ended up torquing it to about 45ft.lbs to remove all play and...

My jeep has never had these on it. It actually has no abutment hardware on it at all. https://www.quadratec.com/sites/default/files/styles/product_zoomed/public/product_images/Power-Stop-K2131-36-Rear-Z36-Extreme-Performance-Truck-Tow-Brake-Kit-Grand-Cherokee-ZJ.jpeg I have tried installing...

I've done this before on an old chevy. The headliner was beginning to separate near the doorframe from driving with the window down all the time. Adhesive never fixes this problem, so I just do this with some aluminum. Use some self-tappers to pinch the u-shape on the edge of the headliner. The...

I'm fixing up a GMT400 for sale as it just needed some TLC and I got it for a good price. It needs tires, and perhaps wheels to be ready to be put up for sale. What sort of tire would be the most financially prudent buy for this scenario? Anyone have some experience or sage advice from doing...

I'm pretty sure this is indicative of a BCM but it's intermittent and always happens when I am away from my tools. Ignore my rambling I'm weird as hell.

2003 Toyota Echo 1.5L AT Key On Engine Off - No prime Key On Engine On - returnless fuel pump runs fine and sounds healthy. I can't relay swap as everything is now in perfect working order. Initial diagnosis is failing fuel pump that jostled brushes and is now working for a bit. Confused as...

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L V8 (Magnum 318) Stock everything. I have a gurgle in the heater core on startup, I didn't use to so something changed. Bleeding proceedure: RADIATOR CAP = OFF HEATER SET = HIGH BLOWER FAN = HIGH Let idle at varying speeds until engine reaches 195F and the...

It looks like this. My water heater is in the garage. I need to replace the leaking valves for my washing machine. There isn't any visible water valve in the crawl space. Never done this before.

I don't really know what this is indicative of. flushed and filled about 60k miles ago with Mopar Power Steering +4. 1996 Grand Cherokee 5.2L. With the recirc ball steering gear box.

My 2002 2.2L VUE needs a new BCM. BCMs for the VUE from 2002-2007 all look the same but have different serial numbers. 2002 specific BCMs are over $150, but 2003 and up BCMs can be had for $50. My BCM: 22693423 SUV {WRFA) Blue 12 GMABO82B05 Can I just buy an '03 or '04?
