Hi, Awhile ago I built a mild performance 350 c.i. chev. S.B. I bought assembled World Products S.R. torquer cyl. heads. The engine ran flawlessly for 1000-plus miles. I then developed a serious miss and discovered a broken intake rocker arm stud and valve spring damper corresponding to that intake valve. The pushrod and roller tip rocker arm are fine. The valve spring looks good. Has anybody out there seen this happe? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Mp slick
I have a 1998 Chevy 4x4 with a 305 vortec, i need to know if i can switch that for a 350, and how much changes would have to be made in the wiring harness?? More of less, would it be worth the trouble??
:sick: I HAVE A 99 DEVILLE, OVER THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD TUNE-UP, THROTTLE BODY CLEANING, FUEL INJECTION CLEANING, SENSORS REPLACED, EGR VALVE REPLACED AND FUEL PUMP REPLACED. NONE OF THIS HAS SOLVED MY ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. CAN ANYONE HELP?
I am new to this forum. I have an '89 Honda Prelude S(non-feul injected). The Brakes are the issue at hand. This summer July-Aug.'06;replaced all 4 tires, rotors and pads, also both rear calipers replaced (new). First tire rotation @ 4400 miles Dec.'06; Technition alerts me of a problem...The rear passenger pad is worn to the shim! and digging in to the rotor. Funny thing is...the outside pad is gone YET the inside pad is hardly worn! How could this be? What function or process sequence of the brake system would cause this odd symptom of malfunction?
I am having trouble with a sterio issue. I have a 1953 Bel Air, and I want to put a CD player in it. I heard about and have seen old style stereos that have flip down faces to reveal a cd player. They look vintage from the outside, and have the dummy knobs. Have you ever heard of such a thing, and if so where the heck can i find one? Thanks for the help
Has any one out there ever heard of or seen a stereo for a classic car that looks original from the outside, but the face flips down to reveal a cd player? For some reason i recall seeing them, and have had 5 or six people tell me they have seen and heard of them. BUT, nobody can tell me where to find them. NEED HELP

:sick: does anyone know what to expect on an accord that was borderline totaled? The damages far exceeded $6,000, the damage mostly occured on the passengers side. I don' think there was any 'under the hood damage'. There may have been a bent frame, that makes me worried that I'll have future problems. In addition I feel that I should ask the insurance company for more. :confuse:
Is there a website to find out the current lease buy rates for manufacturers such as Nissan and Toyota? Is there a way to know that you are getting the lowest money factor possible on your lease?
I have a 2000 GMC 4wd with the 98 body style ( 8' box) the fuel gauge has become very unstable. Slight incline will cause a full or empty reading, gauge will show full or empty or any place in between depending on it's mood. Showed full today before I fueled with 31.7 gallons.
Does anyone have any advice? I have a 2004 6 cylinder Sonata and about twice a week the transmission shifts; it feels like the car is going to fall apart underneath in a great bang. It has happened driving slow and driving fast. The shift is unsettling and unnatural, very hard like you might look back and see the whole bottom of the car on the road.
Don't see anywhere to ask my question. Wondering what happens when going to get a car inspected past the 5-day grace period. My sticker expired end of December so my 5-day grace period ended today; I've been out of town until today and forgot to get it inspected before I left. TxDOT website only says that there's a 5-day grace period, but nothing about what happens if you're beyond that 5 days.
Trying to find out if anyone knows what I dhould expect if I try to get it inspected this weekend. Will they do it or not? If so, is there a penalty fee added or something?
I live in Texas and have been well over a month over. Nothing will happen to you but a written warning by a police officer enforcing you to get it changed if you happened to get pulled over which did happen to me one time. I just had to show proof via receipt. I wouldn't lose sleep over it but do get it changed ASAP. I think it's still $13 dollars (my wife does mine) and most oil changing stations and car dealerships can do it. Call around and see who in your area can get it done for you and make an appointment at the service station that can get you in.
Hi. Does anyone know if there is a death clause in the Mercedes Benz lease contract? A family member recently passed away & the car was believed to be in his name only. The widow does not want to keep that car if at all possible. Thank you for your help.
HELLO JUST REPLACED THE ENGINE IN MY INFINITY G20. THE CHECK ENGINE LITE COMES ON WITH CODE P1400 WHICH I BELIEVE IS EGRC/VLV ISSUE. I HAVE REPLACED THE PILOT AND EGR VALVES BUT LITE STILL COMES ON AFTER A SHORT DRIVE...ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Hi! I have a 2003 soreto lx and the 10amp fuse for the gauge always burns! Somebody heard of that problem...For the rest of the truck,i just love it. :shades:
My 07 AWD Equinox seems to be forever shifting on the highway. Even the slightest incline, it will shift out of overdrive, sometimes back and forth a couple times. My dealer downloaded a tranny update, but did not help. It's going back to dealer tomorrow to check again. Any others with this problem or how to fix?
My wife hit a block ice in a pot-hole on wet-icy road at 25 mile speed and hit a tree in woods. My 2005 CRV - SE model was totalled and insurance is giving me ACV value of ACV - $21,790
I bought the car for 25201.95 (following break-up)
Retail Price - 23100.00 Title Tax - 10 Dealer Bus Lice Tax - 46.78 Sales & Use tax= 726.67 Lice Fee 29.50 Dealer Processing 289.00 Extened warranty - 1000.00
As per the Edmunds.com used car report, the used-car report is
005 Honda CR-V Special Edition AWD 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
True Market Value Pricing Trade-In Private Party Dealer Retail National Base Price $18,585 $20,106 $21,351 Optional Equipment $0 $0 $0 Color Adjustment Black $-24 $-26 $-28 Regional Adjustment for Zip Code 20152 $18 $19 $20 Mileage Adjustment 29,500 miles $-312 $-312 $-312 Condition Adjustment Clean $0 $0 $0
Total $18,267 $19,787 $21,031
Considering the above, does the value of 21790 offered by the insurance look correct?
Should I not expect ACV value plus sales tax+ dealer processing fee + additional warrenty etc?
Can anyone advise the 2005 C230K Sedan automatic transmission can be tuned so it shifts without stumping, as well as with less lag? I tried another one at the dealership but there was no significant difference (other than it was a 6-cylinder model). Please feel free to send me an e-mail with information to: sskugor@yahoo.com. Thanks, Steve

How's the import/export business going Art? :shades: (I would have replied ten minutes sooner but I was catching up on my Costanza trivia).
Being an importer/exporter is rough, especially trying to balance that with being an architect and a marine biologist!
