I'm a Master Mechanic... Ask me anything!

Car is at idle...

Tick tick tick...

Not to loud but loud enough...

Lifters or a gasket leak somewhere???

What is the preferred grease to use when reassembling a Kuneutson valve?

How often should you use gas cleaner

What model and engine?

Why don't you tell the man the year and make of vehicle? Maybe the mileage as well? What engine size?

Lithium.

How about how to build a pizo electric generator for the creek to power the cabin?

You are not supposed to grease them or rebuild them, it voids the warranty.

Not very often. Gas is a cleaner and has a number of detergents already in it.

An aside to the whole E10, E15 fuels, ethanol also works to absorb moisture from the bottom of the tank.

We hardly ever see fuel system contamination like we used to, unless an unlucky gas station has a storage tank flood from rain.

Balance wheels with wood.

I'm planning on designing and building a wooden
wheel balancer. The only non-wooden parts
beside the nuts and bolts will be the bullseye
level.

You'd need a lot of them, and something to excite them. Maybe a paddle wheel in a creek hooked to a raging bean slapper...

Yes.
Could be a (tiny) exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold gasket: Or a "lifter"If you can get to the valve cover you can put a long screwdriver to the cover and put the bone behind your ear on it and listen: or go buy a "mechanics stethoscope" It helps you narrows down where the noise is coming from.

Better use a hardened nail and socket for the pivot. I honestly never had a lot of luck with bubble balancers. Still have one in my shed along with my tire spoons for SHTF tire changes.

Gas goes in that cap that says "engine oil" (whatever in the fuck that means) that's located under the hood... right?

Also anti-freeze... It's best to alternate colors? Change and mix them up. Least that's what I heard.

I have a 1997 suburban with a chevy vortec 350

My timing chain is original at 225,000 miles

My question is, would a stretched timing chain cause the truck to run more poorly at the end of a long trip and also run rough at idle

You might be in for a valve adjustment... Which sucks on that engine. Instead of using a rocker with a threaded adjuster that engine uses cam follower buckets that use shims to get the clearance.

About to put the cayenne turbo on the lift for an oil change. Do you have a preference on oil and weight? I like Royal Purple XRP 5w/50.

I replaced my muffler bearings and I'm still getting the whoo whoo sound?

Did you adjust the Rick Flair bracket?

:chaos:

"piezo electric"? ("Piezo elecricity" small(tiny) amounts of voltage created by stressing certain crystals).

How about just a plain old "water turbine" Ive seen those.

Google is your friend( you have th Entire volume of mans' accumulated knowledge at yourfingertips FREE!!):

Yep and my blinker fluid too

I have a 2008 dodge charger, ran hot on me about a week ago guy at the shop told me I needed a new radiator so I got that installed but its getting hot and blowing out steam out of the reservoir tank every etime I drive it for mlm ore than 10 minutes, but the engine isn't over heating. I thought it might have been the head gaskets so I put in some bar gasket sealer but I'm still having the same problem. The car has 202,000 miles on it. Could give me some pointers on what might be causing the reservoir to overheat and blow coolant out? Thanks in advance.

Where does gas go when filling up a car?

I'll quit trolling.

Nice thread, man!

5 stars!

2010 C-300

I replaced fuel pump, and fuel sending unit (both under rear seat, opposite sides).

Everything went great... Except my gas guage stopped working.

I feel like, on the rear passenger fuel pump, I may have not clipped a little wire and lead correctly.

Wasn't part of new assembly, was already in tank, just needed room to fit my hand in tank.

However, i can't find shit on that little lead on any diagram, video, etc. What it is, where it's supposed to go.

Everyone with gas guage issues online seem to be replacing entire control module....almost certain mine has to do with little wire.

Do you have a way to find info?

Driving me nuts. Pain in the ass to remove seats, don't want to go back in until informed, lol

(been calculating gas for months)

need new Macho Man struts
