    Another crazy car question...

    So I opened the oil fill cap on my Acura the other day after I started it, to add some oil, and it was pressurized... That surprised me. It's a 3.2L VTec. Maybe Japanese cars don't have "PCV"? Probably normal, I just didn't expect that. Great car, it just drips a lot of oil. I had to take...

    Texas Raiders B-17, P-63

    Did y'all see that horrific crash? Awful. Only B-17 I've ever been in. Tossed the idea of going to that airshow a month or two back, but didn't.

    Put 'er up for the Winter

    I was holding out for one more day, like earlier this week but it didn't work out (wasn't much chance really). Didn't have a choice but to go ahead and winterize today since it's going to be pretty cold tonight. I put fuel stabilizer in this time, ran it for 15min, and fogged through the carb...

    Need another Motorcycle...

    Ok, want. I was all good and hadn't ridden in the 4 1/2 years since I sold my last one to get my boat, with essentially zero desire to ride again anytime soon. Then one of my sons bought a GSX-R600 and I took an impromptu ride on it. That got me quickly rethinking that whole issue. I know I...

    Caprice Shudder at Hwy Speed

    While I'm logged in here... I've got a noticeably annoying shudder in my Caprice that comes in frequent and regular waves, that I haven't been able to get rid of. It's not the same as a continuous vibrating like out of balance tire(s). It seems to travel front to rear and repeat. I've got...

    LS Swap...?

    I've got a complete drivetrain from a wrecked '98 Firebird Formula that I'm not sure what to do with. I saved it with the intent of putting the engine, or engine and trans in one of my other vehicles. The car drives though, so my choices are really: 1. Try to put it back together and drive...

    Nasty Cooling System - '93 Chevy Caprice

    This is a car I bought for the engine several years ago, but ended up just adding to my collection and driving it. I put a water pump on it early on and remember that the coolant was kind of dirty, brown stains in the overflow tank and that. I flushed the radiator several months ago, and had...

    Hard Starting after Anchoring 30min+

    1986/88 Cobra, 4.3L w/2bbl. Points. Boat fires right up when cold, or if it only sits for 15 or 20min at a time. Otherwise runs great too. I had this prob when I first took it out this year, and attributed it to the battery (3 or 4 years old) not being fully charged. I don't really think...

    '86 Cobra - Delay Before Impeller Sprays Out, Muffs

    How long is normal for there to be nothing before water comes out of the port in the housing, after starting on the water hose? I've got like 30sec or so. I could actually hear the impeller when I started it this evening, before it started spraying, and the housing was warm. It finally...

    Burned Impeller

    Howdy. Thought I'd share my first start of the season incident. There was a little misunderstanding between my wife and I about the water, and I got maybe 10sec of water to the drive from the hose, while the engine ran for prob 1 to 2min at most without water. It was enough to burn the...
