Anything wet that I buy is cut with water, especially if it is sweet. I drink a pint of Gatorade daily added to a pint of water in this heat

sounds like a rough bearing. Trouble with them is the"while you're in theres"

My BMW E 28s had both low oil and low coolant lights. The float switch for low coolant was a piece of junk, but 15$ every couple yrs was cheap compared to a meltdown.

A major cause of low oil pressure is low oil. That said, the low oil level light was dead accurate at a qt low on my 528e. Camrys don't use much oil in the 5K mile OCI I observe

None of my mowers was made in this century. All of them are resurrected freebies. I have enough Lawnboy F series mowers to play with should the present one expire. Ditto with the Suzuki 4 stroke powered Toro. I have a 2000 Craftsman 1750 with a 42'' deck that mows 95% of the lawn. Plot is...

My DIL's '99 CRV burned an exhaust valve. Being as she was putting #1 son through law school at the time. I loaned them my car and proceeded to R+R the head and to replace the bad valves in #4 cyl only. It was a PITA, noob experience, I should have left the manifolds on. Once I had it apart, I...

What is the cheapest, easiest oil and filter within specs you can buy for your car? Use it for 5K miles, less if you're a worry wart. The rest is advertising. Came here 21 yrs ago looking for a potion to magically get the cat to pass emissions. What I learned here is that life is waaay too...

I have 5w30 in the snow blower and the 6.5K Predator. It rarely gets below 10f here anymore. I keep a couple qts of 20W50 for the genset figuring that I could put that in during a re-fuel. If you check oil, you should be able to stay ahead of any loss. IIRC, both engines have a low oil...

First visit to PCMO page in ages. As far as PCMO goes, we are in the golden age. I can go ANYWHERE and buy a 0w20 that will give the engine in my 2016 Camry adequate lubrication for the 5Kmiles or whatever the car tells me to service engine. That means oil and filter and a glance at the pink...

Can it be replaced with a metal plug? Or does it snap in? Oh well, I don't like 0W20 either. How much is an extraction thingy? Ive got 50$ tied up in special use Camry oil filter tools, so I can relate.

Make an appointment. I went to the web site of a local Town Fair Tire. I chose a set of some brand I nevr heard of before and can't remember now. 205 65 16s for my 2016 Camry They were the 3rd cheapest. Store opens at 8AM, I asked for a 9 AM. 1hr and 10minutes of reading my latest book and I...

Fillin my stuff with 87 E10 blue Stabilized 9/24 and stored in a pressurized can. 4stroke mowers get a glug of MMO and a dash of Berrymans, '88 Toro 20611 started on 3rd pull. Craftsman sitdown is running on last summer' last fill.

Please post a follow up. I once replaced a ruined piston with a used piston/rod from a junked motor. Re-used original rod inserts drove the Datsun another 50k miles.

the 2stroke is a 1988 model 2073. 4 stroke is a 200?

#3 backup is a Lawnboy walk behind with Tecumseh flat head. Great for tall weeds, rocks and rough areas. Prime doesn't work. A sniff of carb cleaner on the air filter and it starts 1st pull. It is the last item on my to do list.

I assume that whatever grade you used, it was Amsoil. As long as the level is maintained you should be fine for whatever interval you run the thing for. Oil on air cooled OPE is way over thought. Especially with a low level shut off. Fawgedaboutit These daze there's plenty of other stuff to...

Finally got the Husqvarna 322 L weed wacker going after a 5yr nap. Wrassen frassen starter pawl disappeared when I was re-plumbing the broken fuel lines. Then I finished re-assembling the handle and R front wheel on Lawnboy 7073 push mower that was mended with sheet metal and 3/16 rivets where...

would a 2016 Camry have this engine? Whatever it is both of mine are trouble free

Worked at Fore River Shipyard, Quincy, MA. When I started, I was building engine room staging for various trades. The work fascinated me. When I went on the 2nd shift, I was involved in dropping 3 units a night on the hull of the LNGs. Much climbing and height involved in side shell staging. I...

Houses in Plymouth MA area maybe back to 1640s. Quite a few in the 1650 -1700 era.
