Because the car has 188k on it, it has a stumble and unlike 99% of the idiots out there who sling parts I go through diagnostic procedures. You don't know me, nor anything whatsoever about me, yet come straight out and insult my intelligence. So don't talk down to me boy. I merely had a question...

No need to be a [censored] about it. Maybe I don't have the money to buy that expensive cleaner. Ever think of that Mr BMW? Maybe I don't know chemistry, but the next time you fly think of me. Because I [censored] sure know that Boeing you're sitting in inside and out.

I didn't think of that. Also what about acetone? Too harsh or not volatile enough?

Hi all. I'm about to buy that OTC 7448 tool that hooks inline to your injectors and cleans them while the engine runs. I know their brand cleaner will run the engine, but it's way too expensive to justify buying that for all the vehicles I service. What would be a good cleaner that would...

Originally Posted By: Schmoe Don't sweat it just yet. Some of my engines showed that before the first oil change, don't worry about it. I'm afraid to drive it further than a very few miles lol.

Originally Posted By: addyguy I'd just keep doing short flushes and see if it settles down. That oil is very dark for 500 miles, maybe it is just cleaning out stuff. Also, I'd use cheaper 15W-40 HDEO for short runs. That ain't 500, that's only 70. But I did use quite a bit of assy lube and...

Good memory. This time I've had to change the rod bearings because of a worthless pile of [censored] shop employee. Also this is wayyy more metal than I had before. The car has been utterly fine for the last year and has accumulated around 15000 miles. I stopped worrying about it after changing...

Oh I was vocal about it. The first thing i told him was don't shut the door with the key in it. He shut the door with the key in it and got locked out, got rough with the slim jim, and then took off beating on it. Sounded like at least 5000 out of the parking lot. I told them to expect a repair...

Well 100 is just 30 miles or so away. When I drop the oil would it benefit to run some of that zddp additive when I refill?

Gonna fail ain't it?

I did polish that spot with 1000 then 2000, but not the whole crank. Let me get these pics of the oil uploaded to a hosting site and I'll post them

Oh my... it's beautiful! I'm actually in school to be an A&P right now.

Hey guys, been a while. Let me give a quick rundown as to my problem. I got totally lazy and took my car, a 2000 VW Jetta VR6 12v, to a shop to have a shaking diagnosed. Well my car is loud and I heard the mechanic take off like a bat out of [censored] in it twice and it came back smelling like...

Also stay well away from any of the capacitors if you do it yourself. I got the knocked out of me by one of the big ones on my amp. It can kill you, so be careful.

Is it tube rectified or solid state rectified? I've never worked on a tube stereo before but I used to have a Marshall JCM800 that I got cheap and rebuilt. As far as pots and things go, I would highly highly recommend matching the k-ohm resistance and getting A (audio taper) and not B(linear...

Plan on visiting Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg as well since you'll be coming down 81.
