    Next Bridgestone promotion?

    Anyone know when the Bridgestone is going to have a $70 promotion next? I see they are featuring the runflats this month and hoping the regular tires are going to be featured next, like next month. I am considering the RE 71R. I tried the Bridgestone website and live chat was no help. Only...

    Add Stabil to old gas?

    I have read other places to add Stabil to old gas after storing a car for a long time to get it to run. I am sure it makes to gas last longer but is there anything in Stabil to reclaim old gas? My guess is no.

    Resting battery voltage high.

    I was in a hurry and got one of those cheap china rebuilt alternators for my 91 civic along with a new battery. Next day after sitting overnight showed 12.3 volts and gravity showed around 1200. I took the trip and the voltage regulator in the alternator went out and the battery got overcharged...

    Cleaning Solvent

    I remember, years ago, at my dad's gas station we use to sell Cleaning Solvent. It was in sold from a drum and we also used it to clean parts and to clean floors. We also sold white gas and kerosene. The solvent was between those two in viscosity and flamability I think. Solvent didn't leave...

    Tax Question

    My guess would be nothing. But I am sure not a tax expert. I think I went a few years, when I was young, not applying for my tax refund; but that was years ago and hopefully past the satute of limitations just in case somebody is listening.

    How much oil in Honda trans?

    My 03 V6 Accord with the auto trans has just turned 20,000 miles and I want to do a partial trans oil change. I am just going to remove the plug to drain the transmission not the torque converter or any flushing. Anyone already done this on one of these? I got the oil at the dealer and the...

    Hyrostat oil

    I recently rebuilt the engine in my Craftsman lawn tractor. I stood the tractor up on its end to work on some linkage problems and it stayed that way for a couple of weeks while I waited for the engine work to get done. All or some of the oil in the hydrostat transaxle leaked out the vent tube...

    B&S that started smoking

    Engine in question is a B&S 15.5 HP vertical crankshaft single cylinder OHV on a Sears riding mower. Probably 5 to 10 years old but not used that much, mainly in the summer once a week for an hour or so. It recently started blowing blue smoke. I never noticed much if any smoke then one day I...

    Anti Drain Back question.

    Should vertical mounted filters have anti drain back valves? Does this valve keep the oil passage above the filter filled after shut down? Anyone know of a diagram or cut away drawing that will help me understand how this works. Engines in question were Chevy 350 cid and Ford 7.3 PSD. Thanks...

    Honda break-in oil

    I have just had a discussion with the my Honda service department about leaving the orginal oil in until after 5000 miles. Third time I have had this discussion. They are adamant about leaving it in until it is over 5000 miles. The V6 severe change interval is 3750 and they still insist on...
