Do the tops of these pistons tell you anything? by
Doc
I recently posted about a problem with my '89 Cressida, with water
loss presumably through the head gasket. I pulled the head today but
the metal portions of the gasket aren't broken per-se.
Here's a pic of the tops of the pistons. I notice the front 2 and back
1 seem to be cleaner around the...

Wierd Motorcycle by
Paul Hovnanian P.E.
I've seen an odd looking motorcycle in the area over the past few weeks.
It has three wheels, one in the back and two in the front.
I got a good look at it cornering the other day. It appears to have some
sort of front suspension linkage that keeps both front wheels on the
ground and parallel to...

'93 ford tempo will not start by
Vic
My '93 Tempo has run fine for quite some time. It has a nearly-new
battery and terminals which look good still.
The last time I drove it it was fine, I parked it in my driveway and
turned it off.
When I tried to start it and it makes a loud "click" that seems to be
coming from somewhere near the...

Steve W.
Gee and all I hear is how GREAT these cars are and how they are taking
over the world.
Guess that is a bunch of bull....

are selling them I wonder if they are even keeping up with normal
attrition...

Hydro boost power steering by
[email protected]
Hi, I blew a hose on the power steering on a 76 caddy convertable and
had it repaired. Now the hoses heat up like it is boiling the fluid
and when you shut the enging off the fluid is forced out the top of
the power steering pump.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

1997 Savana Van has my mechanic STUMPED! by
billpocz
recently purchased a 1997 Savana van (5r.8 L Vortec) that seemed in
very good condition. The previous owner told me that the only problem
they had was that about a year ago, the battery kept draining and the
fuel pump 'went'. They had both changed and didn't have any more
problems.
Last week, I...

Replacing Olds 5.7l diesel head gasket by
Wonderer
What procedure should I follow? Do I need to remove the bolts in a
specific order? It is not worth contracting this work out to
anybody. This could be an exercise in shear folly if more than the
gasket needs to be replaced.

I need a wizard to suggest what to expect when I reach my daughter's house
in a couple of days. Her report was, "Dad, we were driving the '96 Nissan
Quest and nearing home when the car just died. Jumping it produces just a
couple of clicks from the starter, not an engine turnover at all. ...

came, fixed it so that it drives ok, and took it away. A few days

When a car stereo "blows"... by
Proctologically Violated©®
Awl--
Is it usually the amp/transistors, or the speaker(s) itself?
Both rear-seat dash "woofers" (mounted vertically, behind the headrests)
buzz at any kind of volume, sound real crappy.
Happened some time ago playing Creedence in my garage.... :(
