No halfway isn't, but I have had the car for 60,000 miles and a 1/4 of the way is where it has operated since I bought it and I have replaced the thermostat once. So anything above is questionable when that is all you have known. How would I install a cheap temp gage? It is a 2 prong gage?

OK, I have asked just about everyone I know, here is the question that I would really like to get solved. 4 weeks ago, my 91 honda accord started over heating. I started off by letting it Idle to see if it would get hot, and no such luck. It only gets hot on the highway at about 70+ mph. I found...

I think that was his handle on here. He hasn't updated his site in a while. Curious to what might of happened. He has many supporters for the site and test that he is running. Recap: Synthetic Oil Life Test, 2002 LS1 camaro testing mobil 1, amsoil, redline, and royal purple. So far Mobile 1 went...

The way I understand it, it lowers the exhaust temperatures so that your cat doesn't fail early in your vehicle's life.

to my knowledge, it has never been a huge issue with honda's and valve stem oil leaks. I know it exhists as every part has a time limit before it begins to fail, that is the nature of the beast.

I know the engine burns oil, but not from start up. On many occasions I have had someone else start the car up and I watched the tailpipe. Never saw a puff of smoke. I know if I run the engine hard, my brother has told me a puff of blue smoke appears. That leads me to beleive oil retaining ring...

how do you do a leakdown test?

Have a 1991 honda accord lx. Been a great car. Bought it with 105,000 miles on it and now it has 166,663 miles now. Been wanting to try out GC in it and ran GC for 5000 miles last time. Have GC in it again so that I could do a UOA. Well it has started burning about 1/2 a qt per 1,000 miles...

I don't know if there is or not?

yes her credit score can hurt you a little, but a 600 is still respectable. My fiance has a low 700 and I have a mid 700 and her score brought our overall down a little. All I can say is apply yourself. You should be approved for whatever amount you want, banks will love to get your business...

I close on my house this friday. I went with Gaurdian Savings Bank as their closing cost was 250.00. THat is all we are paying to close. I also went with a 2.99 arm which lowers payments a bit and I can put more a month towards the principal and knock the principal down quickly which in tern...

never removed one on a 4X4, but to remove a cv axle, on the front I am assuming? To romove it, take wheel off, brake assembly off, loosen ball joint and seperate the spindle from the lower A arm pullings the splined end out of the spindle. Next take a large screw driver and slide it between the...

Well shell rotella 15W-40 works real well in my father 496 BBC pushing 612 hp. Holds great oil pressure also. The make a rotella synthetic that is supposed to be a little better, haven't found it yet to try it out. Good Luck

OK the 4R100 was replaced by the 5R110W Torque Shift Transmission. The 4R70W was updated to the 4R75W. The only things changed in the 4R75W was new 1-2 shift springs for increased life, different GPS (Gear Position Selector) and I think different clutches. I know this because I work at one of...

Actually GC is a high 30wt to a low 40 wt oil. Close to the mobil 0-40.
