re the scuffing. The shop was in SoCal in the Riverside - San Bernardino area. We used to get a lot of high end car engines coming back from Vegas where one or two cylinders that got the least cooling would scuff. (Or an injector might be working only partially and cause that cylinder to run...

was a master engine and head machinist once upon a time. To me, that looks like a cylinder got hot and scuffed, then over time that material got into the oil and damaged some cam journals. Did you ever have a time when the coolant was low, or it was driven at a really high speed for a long...

Plan A sounds like a winner to me.

something that old be sure to check the diode type and capacitors. Most of the chargers of that era used selenium rectifiers and by now those have deteriorated well enough to leak AC into the battery. Those diodes can be replaced with modern ones. The problem will be that selenium rectifiers...

an all thread rod with pair of nuts and washers at each end will work to hold on most loose spools. Personally I just toss mine in a bankers box then pull out what I need as I need it. Whole car rewiring is best done by having someone build a whole loom. There are places that have them by car...

does it do it if you leave the cap a little loose after running it? Or since it is a metal tank, could there be a crack where the spout is brazed to the tank?

was the coyote under it when it fell?

tree that size, labor is inexpensive. That is how I handle it. Otherwise what is left will yield mushrooms for years.

do it right. I have a 70's classic car with catalytic that only puts out 1% CO running in the garage while tuning it one day, and it set the house CO detector off when I went inside to get something. Garage door was open and the exhaust was maybe 2' from the outside but the wind was blowing...

Ordered a Mosmatic swivel to see how well it works. Depending on how it works here, then I can figure out what to do next.

this ^^^ . Many have said it. If you do something and later there is a problem, guess whose problem it will be then - yours.

thank you. Will research it before buying anything.

Probably going to order the 5/16 50' flexzilla hose. Q. swivel adapters were mentioned. The hose now has quick disconnects on both ends, it swivels but not when there is pressure in the line. How do swivel adapters avoid the same issue?

I personally will never buy another Kohler sink or toilet. The new toto toilets we bought to replace Kohlers have been wonderful.

Thank you. Re the o-ox-id a-special, I have some already. So maybe use some barkeepers friend that has oxalic acid in it to clean it then put some of the o-ox-id a-special on it. Shiftless, thank you. I am thinking also about paint, and your suggestion. The rust inside the opening and under...

We all have fought it somewhere. I've been pretty successful in avoiding it many places, but one that has me stumped are two Kohler cast iron bathroom sinks. They rust under the chrome or plastic grommet that fills the overflow hole. Bar Keepers friend has oxalic acid in it and gets rid of the...

put some liquid wrench down on the threads where it is attached to the manifold. Several places like Project Farm did tests of all sorts of penetrating fluids, and it did best. Then double nut it. If you have messed up the threads buy a die and retap it. Or as others have said, use a small...

I used to do all my own wiring. Never failed a code or electrical inspection, but sometimes in life it is just easier to make friends with a good electrician, and let them handle things like this.

Don't know these people, Summit Air Conditioning & Heating in Austin, but a review of their Yelp and Google reviews is quite encouraging. 459 Google reviews and no complaints. Might consider a second opinion from them. 4 year old HVAC should be under warranty as long as you meet the...

Until the leak is found, there is no way to know what will fix it. It can be anywhere, and even something as simple as a bad schraeder valve core.
