    Add a paper gasket to coolant by-pass tube?

    Found a pool of coolant poring from the bell-housing area and dig into the source and found the coolant by-pass tube (heater core return to water pump) to engine block was the culprit! It does not come with a proper gasket except FIPG. With some cavities I feel like adding a paper gasket with...

    6th vs our 3rd Gen

    I would never consider a 6th gen for the price they ask. It should be near 40K for the base model.

    Tips Appreciated: 1998 Passenger Front Axle Replacement

    Keep the OEM axle, just reboot it using OEM boot. You don't even have to drain and refill oil. Just like you would, remove the spindle out of the way. Loosen the boot retaining clips on both sides on each boot. Pull the axle out with the tri-pod joint from the diff side joint (make it's...

    Aw, man - spark plug tube seal time?

    Before you install valve covers, apply a tiny film of FIPG to the bottom lip (mates the cylinder head) on 3 sides, avoid the top - injector facing side. This makes your gasket to stick to the cylinder head and even if bolt gets loose, you won't see an oil leak.

    6th vs our 3rd Gen

    I am running AUXITO LED lights and those are way brighter than the newer LED's. Make sure to get the 16 cree LED's per bulb (12 Cree LED bulb is cheaper). Light pattern is OEM. May need to adjust the housing but no alteration to the bulb.

    Fuel Injector Cleaning - Off engine

    Just contemplating on cleaning the fuel injectors with carb spray or brake clean. I did it to my 92 Geo Prizm (Have been using gum out) and outcome is amazing.. very smooth engine and faster acceleration with 27 MPG in the 100% city. It used to be about 23 MPG before. With the 10-11 MPG in my...

    How do LED bulbs work in the standard headlight lens?

    I have AUXITO LED light bulbs. Those come on 16 cree (8 per-side) or 12 cree (6 per side) LED bulbs. I opt to 16 (as always better!) and those just slide in and works great! the LED's a housed right where the incandescent filament is located. You just need to slightly adjust the beam, otherwise...
