No warranty on new factory engine is the reason I went the route I went.

I was faced with a similar challenge a couple years back. You can read about the saga from my signature line if you want. Somewhere along the way, @Twisted Steel Performance commented that the engine I asked him to work on was the worst he had seen in terms of balance and it was essentially...

Welcome Dany. Could you write an article describing the benefits of multi-Port injuction over carburetor usage with test results from no less than four sources on the subject? I would like to see a brief comparison of the different effects of filling the cooling system with glycol vs...
