I think Kimi sandbagged in quali and the start so he wouldn't have to help Vet. and Seb cut Lewis on purpose but he basically presented his rear tire to him at the easiest place to cut. he shoulda been patient but that's ok, there's a chance he might have crashed out with Max later, or been...

I'd use throttle body cleaner and shoot 1/3 of a can in there 15 or 20 min after shutdown. Let soak and run it after. buy two bottles of gumout regane complete fuel system cleaner and dump whole bottle in full tank for two tankfulls back to back. then I'd check the electrical junction and...

7 weeks later (but only 400 miles) the engine is running smoother than a long time. Hot idle oil pressure looks about 21 or 22 psi vs 18 or 19 before with 5W-30 or 10W-30 and takes 5 or 10 min longer to reach. I think protection has been increased. 40 to 50% of the 132 pint only, still have the...

yeah rings, valvetrain, less sludge less friction. Shoot out your throttle body too. I did that yesterday with just a 1/3 of a can of throttle body cleaner, shot from all angles within a couple min of shutting down from a 20 min drive. Let it soak for just a few min and started. also shot...

It finally reached oper idle pressure after 20 min or so. Had some valvetrain noise seems quieter. I was paranoid w/o coolant temp working. thanks

i found some threads that say its thick, i'll try a short drive now. oil used to reach near operating pressure in 15 min city driving

Found an unopened bottle of Schaeffers 132 and wanted to try it. it might be from 2010 tho. it was thicker than honey, kinda like that STP stuff from the 80s. No it was like blue goop. took several min to clear a narrow funnel. Black bottle was stored indoors in a box no sunlight and not...

Sorry it was Peter Collins who gave his car to Fangio to secure his championship ahead of Moss. "Indeed, Collins was on the verge of becoming Britain's first F1 World Champion when he handed his Lancia-Ferrari D50 over to team leader Juan Manuel Fangio after the latter suffered a steering-arm...

I lost a bit of respect for Lewis yesterday. did you see til the end when they had coverage in the cool down room? Lewis did not congratulate Nico, he prob knew Nico was [censored]. then on the podium Coulthard made them shake twice, and all the nice things said were [censored]. Starting on lap...

i thought liquid-moly was a friction reducer. didn't know about a flush. LC20 would help carbon build up but might increase oil leaks. that's what I would do, lift the car wipe everything esp the lower half, change oil add LC20, go back in 200 miles and look for oil leaks. if none then you know...

i cant believe the color schemes the last few years for Specialized i think the last year the Crosstrail looked nice was 2013. i have the white one with red letters and love it but tired of the mediocre components and noisy shifts. Shimano Altus and triggers big gears and fast

Rock n Roll the yellow or red bottle are my favs

you could also try LC20 its an oil additive that has sludge busting properties. esters I believe. I haven't used it lately but still have some in a jug.

i would check for intake manifold oil leaks or other oil leaks. need to get under the car and wipe away whatever is already oiled and go back and see if new oil appears. or if it's internal look for exhaust color/smell. and go to a thicker oil like MaxLife

i bought 32 oz of the special MF liquid detergent, it's lasted over a year already. only use it after polishing

this is great stuff http://www.chemicalguys.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=TVD_107_16

and use good microfiber. i like chemical guys stuff

AIO is a good cleaner. Z5 for dark colors Z2 for everything else and Zfx stored in the frige ziplocked. the best part is how easy it buffs off. and the smell

watching the race on replay, i think Nico did it on purpose. You can see his hands steer at Lewis. There was a turn but... he's too good not to think that would happen. wing on rear tire. Look at the beginning of his pass, its in a pretty impossible area unless you are clearly ahead of the...
