    Multiple codes, rough idle and tranny shifting issue

    COPs, plugs and the Gap

    The ideal is to face the electrode gap to the intake charge (intake valve) to take advantage of the inrush to ignite as much of it as possible. There was a time when spark plugs were gasketed to make the seal at the head. Now mostly I see, excepting my garden tractor, they are beveled. You get...

    Devin's 06 LS - Round 2

    Take a look at the fuse box on the right front of the car. It's a relay/s not pulling in and maintaining. If the coil on a relay doesn't hold, it'll click like that. I've been working around relays for over 30 years, I know what they sound like energizing. I had the same problem in the winter...

    Because water has a higher boiling point at higher pressure (252deg F @ 16 PSI) is one reason car manufacturers run pressurized cooling systems. It has to do with latent heat and enthalpy of steam if your inclined to look it up. Another reason is because the coolant (60/40 mix or otherwise) in...

    First oil change on my V8 using Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30 full synthetic

    One thing to keep in mind in thinking synthetic vs. mineral oil in your fill is the type of engine you have. A push rod V8 is much easier on oil than an overhead cam engine, due to shear on the oil molecules. Those tappets on an overhead cam are rough on oil. Ferrari and Porsche knew that years...
