    Caster adjustment 1967 Ford F-250 2wd??

    Aside from replacing all bushings there is a camber bolt and washer set avail. I'm not sure if it's an eccentric bolt or a regular bolt with an eccentric washer or bushing. The top radius arm-to-axle bolt is the location. Or it may be the top AND bottom bolts, it's been awhile.

    Does this estimate sound reasonable (brakes)?

    They're padding the labor because you're bringing your own parts. I believe labor would be lower if they could sell you the parts they want to sell you and make a profit there as well.

    prices for "assault rifles"?

    List of VOA's from Russian Oil Club

    So, low zinc 5w30/SN is only an American thing? What about the Russians catalytic converters...From the several 5w30 samples I looked at they seem loaded with AW.. do they have cats? Or did they fall apart from the high zinc levels.

    Shaft Wear

    This is a junky diagram,but essentially too much play between the crankshaft, the crosshead and the plunger. This is for a damage report for a customer,that needs at least an attempt at an accurate assessment for repair. Engineers on their end will read it and laugh but if it get the point...

    A mathematician and an engineer decided they’d take part in an experiment. They were both put in a room and at the other end was a naked woman on a bed. The experimenter said that every 30 seconds they could travel half the distance between themselves and the woman. The mathematician stormed...
