I recently had the timing chain tensioner on my 2014 1500 crap out and take valves and pushrods with it. I still need to check for bent connecting rods,camshaft/lifter damage and also want to see how much metal is in the oil,if any. So I am for sure at least gonna be rebuilding the top end of the motor (heads cam lifters) if the block checks out. If not than probably gonna get a crate motor. The truck is in too good of shape otherwise to walkway from. Just looking for suggestions on... Read more

Hey everyone, so for some context, this is my 2017 honda civic touring with the 1.5T motor in it, my question is, is this something I need to be concerned about? I’ve heard horror stories about head gaskets going out on these and seeing the unusual amount of smoke pour out on startup has me kind of worried. Here’s some information about the car: - Got the car at 70k miles (previous owner took care of it, has service records from honda) - Did oil changes every 5k miles up until I hit the 90k... 2017 Honda Civic (with the 1.5T Motor) unusual amounts of smoke coming out of the exhaust on startup

We have a scheduled appointment for our 2018 CX-5 Touring NA next week w/the local MAZDA dealer for the 75K mile service (actually gonna be @ around 77.5K). The 4 spark plugs are due for replacement....but will the "service advisor" try to sell us the 4 tube-type ignition coils? Or should those be changed-out too? We've also decided after much research (including this forum), to ask for the drain & fill only transmission service (no pan drop or filter change) with the... Read more

Has anyone driven the entire length of Route 66 in their Lucid Air? My wife and I are planning a road trip from NYC to Chicago, then onto Route 66 all the way to Santa Monica Pier. After that, we’ll head back east to Tucson, AZ, and then drop off the car at a transport company and fly home. Any tips for our trip?

Pac 1225 springs This Indy Maxx block has lifter oiling drilled by Indy and no lifter bore bushings. Looking for 0.8 or bigger wheel solid lifters with pushrod oiling and pin oiling. Anyone has real life experience which lifters to stay away from, dont want to spend money on lifters that will uncover the holes and cause low oil pressure. Read somewhere... Read more

I have a 2020 Honda Civic 1,5 VTEC, which is often giving a babbling sound from the A/C system. Recently I had the A/C in for maintenance and refill, because of that. The measured amount of drained refrigerant was 280 grams, and it was refilled with 400 grams. However, after a few weeks, it is already babbling/”talking” again, even worse than before. I guess that the mechanic shop has pressure tested the A/C system before just adding refrigerant. From some people I have heard that some... Babbling sound from A/C

I was at a get together at one of Esther's friends and the guy who is a hotrod builder was showing me his shop. He recently got a laser type device and it removes all impurities from metal It just vaporizes it, rust, paint, grime it just removes it all.
