A buddy gave me a gardening kneepad (a section of foam rubber about 6" by about 18" with a hole in one end for a handgrip). I use it all the time to save my knees. Also have a pit mat for laying unde

It's true that Alcohol (Ethanol) does not have the "energy density" of gasoline, and if you have a fuel injected car you generally get somewhat worse mileage out of 10% ethanol fuel than out of strai

The weight on the tranny is to help with gearshift vibration as I recall. Others have had excellent suggestions. One thing I'd like to throw in the mix is: "what is the frequency of the vibration?".

For oil to go to the water and not the water to the oil, it would have to be the oil line to the rocker shaft (hole next to stud hole) that's leaking into the water gallery. The crack doesn't look to

If the head has been milled any, folds toward the cylinder liner. Less apt to burn through / leak. If unaltered (stock), I don't think it matters much. Tony Drews ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Archiv

Probably when you are pulling the pushrod out, it's still "stuck" to the lifter / tappet and has pulled the tappet out of its bore. Since you're taking off the head, that's not a big deal - if you we
