There is the larger round grill then that smaller grill above. Wondering if anyone has added speakers to these grills and if so what a good speaker would be. Dimensions too please. Long as I’m waiting for Triumph parts I can be working on improving the sound system too. I would love to be able...

I was searching for information on head gaskets and came across this video. Heating the engine before having to retorque head gaskets. She explains that she is using copper head gaskets, but, many head gaskets that require retorque can benefit from this video.

If the injector timing is suppose to be about 30*, how does a person acquire that without changing the timing off set ? I dont remember what actual injector timing was previous to removing the IP from the old engine.

This is a thread dedicated to questions and answers about gauges, all sorts of gauges related to the monitoring of engine, transmission and drive train on our vehicles. If anyone has a question, an answer, or a suggestion for gauges then please post them here.

I got a thread going about transmission pressure gauge to fill a hole in a three gauge pod. It was suggested that I might be better served with a turbo drive pressure gauge, some call it back pressure. Now My curiosity has got Me down. I need this. 😹😹😹 Also suggested pre and post turbo...

Wanting to fill a blank hole in a gauge pod that sits atop of the dash on My truck. Looks mighty ugly glaring back in my direction. Transmission is the 4L80E and I am wondering what the max pressure electronical gauge would not be overtaxed with pressures beyond its capabilities. I have done...

I remember removing this bracket but now I can not rememer just what position it came from. I tried a search using the part number and I can find pictures of it, and also of an entire PS mounting bracket but no explanation of whence this unit belongs. It does have a slight rub mar on the tab...

I have the turbo drain back fitting from QuadStar Tuning. I’m thinking before installing the flange/plate to the engine of drilling in the area of the red mark. Taking a steel 1/2” NPT or even a 3/8” NPT pipe coupler and welding it on where I drilled. In the future then, if a pro-Vent was ever...

I have the Leroy Diesel stud and girdle kit to replace the factory valve/rocker arm cover bolts. I’m wondering if I could remove the bolts from the new covers and install the studs, place the girdles over the studs and install the nuts to hold it all down. Basically turn the new engine into a...

Just curious as to which is the better brand of seal to use on the front pump of a transmission, rather it be automatic or manual transmission. The two brands carried at our parts stores are CR and National. I once preferred the CR but then later changed to National, for reasons I can no longer...

Rock Auto shows the AC Delco pump. Part No. 8892690 Price on that is $100.79 The other favorable choice is the GM Original. Part No. 88894035 or Part No. 12456231 Price on that one is $189.79 Trying to decide which pump would be the better unit for longevity. The GM original pump has the same...

And so, engine on stand and all freeze plugs removed. Removed the oring from the freeze plug coolant heater and tried it in the various bores. The original position was in the left bank, center hole and the element pointing downwards. Removing the oring seal allowed me to move it freely from...

I mentioned in an earlier post about My method of disposing of antifreeze, I call prestone for some odd reason, and of pouring the stuff down the drain of the city sewer system. This is a safe practice for anyone that needs to get rid of what they may have. Probably not a hundred gallons at a...

Real hot out, probably 110* F or so. Twice on one drive, in town, about last Monday, 35mph. Give the foot feed a little throttle, not a lot, let off and it seemed like the engine near died but then picked back up again. About a half a mile later it did the same thing. I thought WTF but no real...

Currently in my truck is a Kenwood player with CD device. I would like to get one of them devices that I could add the Quadstar Tuning app to and create a radical gauge cluster. I dont really know the difference between a single and a double Din. I think the double is a bigger screen. Which ever...

Two different instructions from the same manufacturer, Dorman. 😹😹😹😹 Heading to the vice with my old fashioned plastic bench bleeding fittings and hoses. I do not see anything special about this new master cylinder that would make it any different than any other master cylinder that I have...

I wanted to put this in the how to forum but it said I didnt have sufficient permission, so, here it is. This is from Dave, a FB vehicle repair specialist that also does a lot of videos. His procedures are spot on and never misleading. Here he has a cast iron block repair specialist that casts...

Just curious. I know that there most likely is nothing out there that can restore wore and hardened clutch pack seals, so thats not as much about this thread as what might be used to smooth out shifting without causing slipping in the clutch packs. This 1991 Oldsmobile Royal 88 has a 4T60E...
