I've been told that running an engine with timing too much advanced causes
damage. But what's the story with late timing ? I found very little on
usenet about late timing, except for power loss, "like an old man's car ..."

I'd like to swap out the existing 2V Carb with a 4V on my 67 289

So I had to replace my crank-mounted oil pump.  The replacement pump is sealed
into the housing, so I can't "pack the gears with vaseline" as the teardown
manual says.  What's the best way to avoid a dry start and/or test the oiling
system before attempting to start?  Turn motor ...

I am looking to buy a used Mazda6 2003 or 2004 from a dealership
(probably certified if there isn't too much of a price difference).
Can someone who owns the car or knows about it comment on it?  How is
it compared to the Honda Accord, the Camry or the Altima?

I had a bad control module on my '89 cierra 2.5L Tech 4 motor. It was
recommended that I also replace the crankshaft sensor as well since

distinction between energy conserving 10w-30 and multi-grade 10w-30.  According
to the manual, multi-grade should only be used ...

drop from 700 to about 400-500, sometimes when I stop at a stop light
the engine will stop runing. The compressor make some loud sound (noise

miles in it and already the brake pads have worn out so much so that

My car recently stalled due to low battery... which caught me by
surprise because the batt light was NOT on at this point.   I opened up
the hood and noticed one of the wires on the Field current connector to
the alternator was broken off.  This probably happened while I was

This is a cute one given to me by my co-worker.  Now, I could swear that
this model car should have an OBD-II, but he says he is only getting a
single digit error code out of it, and that code is 8.
As you can see, he has got the car to the point where it will start up

My brother-in-law just picked up a 1990 Saab 900 which runs well and
has fairly low mileage.  However, it has some issues with the brakes
that he asked me to look at since I'm considerably more car savvy than
him (I probably would have passed on this car, low price or not, if
