If there is an internal leak in the MC with no outward warning signs, doesn't that rather prove the point that you can get a false sense of security?
Yes, but experiences of failure vary greatly. One the one hand, you have a guy who drove around in his daughter's Tracker with one front and one...
You have the situation mixed up. What the Director did should have gotten THE DIRECTOR canned. He used University funds to pay a youngster to...
I can appreciate that you are upset about it. But the test analogy is pretty far from the reality of the situation. If you have to think of...
I like the pride part, but if you consider that you will have $500 in the machine, $250 in material and supplies, and many hours of your time...
I did a napkin calc with an estimated 12cc dome and got 11.3:1 compression. You might have to measure it all once you get it all together and...
Stumbled across this page today. Lots of "interesting" reading about brake line failures on GM trucks and vans....
I like the work you are doing. It's definitely harder over there than it is here! But I admire your determination. I think the car will be very...
Mind meld. I guess you type faster than me.
The press sounds too small to me. I am thinking 20 tons might be more appropriate. I would also recommend grinding any rust off the visible...
Water is very good at finding the lowest point in anything. But it needs free air to evaporate. Rubber flooring can trap water and create big...
Try Home Depot. This looks similar....
I had a good chuckle reading that. Those good old Joads. ... Looking at that picture of the actual damage, it seems to me that the cylinder on...
I have seen more than a few cases where cars burned to the ground in storage and the root cause was an explosion of a battery hooked to a trickle...
The look of a chop is the good part. The feel of a chop is the bad part. The window glass is lower so you can see out, which most people regard...
You're so demanding! Customers like you are just impossible to deal with! ;)
That's not what the poster said. He said his friend bought them and mounted them, but the tires could not be balanced. They were not used on the...
If the tires are seriously unbalanced, beyond fixing with a normal quantity of balance weights, why should a manufacturer try to sell them to...
I drove less than a mile, with very careful braking, planning ahead as much as possible, knowing that the brakes had something wrong. I am...
Well, Bob, I went and looked up the federal standard you referred to. I found a few things of interest. First, here is the requirement for...
Just to chime in - I was recently thinking of picking up a 1995 Taurus SHO as a daily driver replacement. This was a reasonably well maintained...
I think the OP was probably advised to quit posting by his legal counsel. So that might explain why the thread dried up. I wonder what happened...
Well, it's ... it's a major award!!!
Nice work on this project. It's starting to look like a car again!
Yes, but that's not because of the holes, it's because of the bells. You changed the shape of the part.
I think the horror stories about Bar's Leak are greatly exaggerated. Did you know that most new cars come with Bar's Leak already put in the...
A motorcycle battery might work ... but it depends on stuff like the compression of the engine, do you use the car in winter, etc. Starting on a...
That's the equivalent of when your wife looks over your shoulder and (completely innocently) says, "Yech. Why does it look like that?" At first,...
Fascinating! I will share that with some older family members who might get a kick out of it. Thanks!
