Howdy- I've been trying to find information on the helical gear cut angle for old Chevrolet SM318/326/330 three-speed and the SM420 four-speed transmissions. I cannot find this info anywhere, but someone must have it for cutting replacement gears for the aforementioned transmissions. If anyone...

...anybody ever have a disappearing username and password problem when logging onto a website? I mean, when you click the "Log In" button and it magically wipes away what you've typed in? This continually happens to me on only one website, whether WinXP or Fedora 11 Linux, whether IE or FireFox...

Well, I'm aboot 2500 miles into my Auto-Rx treatment phase- my third time- in my '95 Civic. Since there has been some discussion regarding going beyond 2500 miles, I figured I would snap a photo of what my oil looks like so far: As you can see, the oil ain't too dark yet and I do expect the...

Lately I've been quite curious as to what that geloid substance is that they use to temporarily glue credit cards, etc. to whatever they want to. It is very easy to remove and usually clear. For lack of a better term I call it "Booger Bond" but I would like to know what it really is... If any...

...and noticed some sediment in the bottom of one (leaking) bottle which appears grayish-black, like graphite. Anyone else have a similar experience? I'm really not too worried about it at all because the stuff is really, really soft just like graphite and has pretty well settled in the...

Hello BITOG family- I am looking for somewhere that I can purchase a cylindrical brush, anywhere from 12 to 24 inches long and at least four inches but no more than eight inches in diameter, fairly soft, non-wire bristles. This is for a double-secret roof cleaning project that I am working on...

We are now 19,000-plus strong in the BITOG family- that's a LOT of people! It got me to thinking... I wonder if it would be possible to have a BITOG convention? I'm still trying to think of a purpose for one but it seems that when an organization, etc. has this many members some form of...

Since I changed out my ARX'd oil in my lawn mower yesterday the thought crossed my mind that a maintenance dose of some sort would be highly beneficial for small four-stroke cycle engines such as my mower, pressure washer, tiller/edger, et cetera. But I reckon there are oh-so-many variables...

This morning the thought had crossed my mind about using LC20 in the Auto-Rx rinse phase (with dino oil, of course) and was thinking if it would enhance or perhaps actually hinder the effectiveness of the rinse process. Since LC20 is not a true ester but is stated to be a "near" ester and...

I'm curious how the new FP3000 will behave as a fuel oxidation retarder versus the FP60. The reason being my '77 Chev 454 pickup only gets refueled about once a year now. It seems the FP60 works pretty well in this regard- started it yesterday for the first time in about eight months and she...

I had the chance to pick up some LG at an AutoZone in Oak Harbor a couple of months ago while I was working in the vicinity and managed to get three coats on my '95 Civic a month ago. Last week I put a fourth coat on. The first tri-application got a real good sunbake as did the fourth coat (this...

Well, I received my two gallons of LC20 yesterday and filled the nifty dispenser bottle up. I went and added the LC20 to my '95 Civic real early this morning and was not paying an awful lot of attention and put about 7 ounces in an approximate 4-quart capacity crankcase (I use the big Wix 51344s...

At 52,586 oh-ridge-yawn-all miles. It will be very interesting to see the results... I bought the car with only 33K miles on it two years ago, been running M1 10W-30 (5W-30 in the winter months). I think the greatest benefit with ARX in an engine with such few miles for its age is the cleaning...

I have suddenly become curious about something in relation to the use of Auto-Rx for anti-sludge maintenance and the metallic antiwear additives commonly used in engine oil. If ARX (or any other sludge-deterring agent for that matter) is used as a preventative, will it have a tendency to...
