Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Thu, 24 Nov 2005 08:39:20 -0500 (EST); My race car weighs exactly 2011 in racing trim, sometimes up to 2028 if I forget that it already has fuel in it when I add more. As a point of reference, that's no bumpers, no trim, no interior (exce; /html/6pack/2005-11/msg00185.html (8,402 bytes)

They are, however, just this side of insanely expensive at $333 _each_ when I last checked. The stock rods are pretty good unless you b; /html/6pack/2005-11/msg00270.html (9,756 bytes)

Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2005 10:48:55 -0400 (EDT); Some folks have very good luck with using a pneumatic rivet gun for the job. It's a lot less exspensive to buy the tool that it is to repaint both your dors. But the tool will get you consistantly i; /html/6pack/2005-10/msg00053.html (7,778 bytes)

Occasionally, when there are sealing problems with the head gasket, you can use something like a copper "dressing", but if you put; /html/6pack/2005-10/msg00057.html (7,512 bytes)

Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2005 15:06:31 -0400 (EDT); If you don't really really blueprint your TR6 motor, chances are pretty high that suing 10w30 will result in your having to open the motor sooner rather than later.

Seriously, the rebuild price typically assumes that the parts you're supposed to re-use are actaully okay.

Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 11:57:35 -0400 (EDT); Perhaps the logic of Dan's claim is true, but if you charge a battery long enough, much of the water will boil away and after that, the battery is toast.
