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...

Are these blemishes on the block between the cylinders something to be concerned about? by Doc
You may have seen my recent post regarding a head gasket issue on an '89 Cressida. The gasket wasn't outright broken but the machine said it showed signs of cross port intrusion. After cleaning the old gasket residue off this block preparing to put the surfaced head on I noticed some marks about...

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...

Anyone use those R-134 refil kits for air conditioning? by [email protected]
I am on the road and noticed my AC isn't performing well. Local shops want close to a $100 for an R-134 refil (97 Honda Accord). I saw an R-134 refil kit at Walmart for $20. Has anyone had success with these inexpensive refil kits? Thanks

Awl-- OK, I'm gonna give this A/C thing a shot, see if the problem really is electrical by just putting a jump to the A/C clutch. If I could find it.... :( I'm assuming I'm looking for something that looks like an idler wheel, with a belt, with two or more electrical wires coming from...

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.

Engine Died by speedo262
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. ...

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.... :( Radio: Panasonic 1263, from 1990 Mazda 929S, 6...
