    512 engine build - 18 months and counting, advice how to tackle this please

    The credit card company said that the time for refund had elapsed. After dozens of emails and phone calls the engine was finished 2 weeks ago and he sent me the dyno video. Engine finished with a 2 year delay. I will believe it when the engine is shipped though.

    Rules for men. Let's discuss.

    My sheila is half my age, been together 2 years. She's a good person, can be moody but goes really well with my teenage daughter. She doesn't try to change me and I don't try to change her. There is mutual acceptance of our defects. Having said that, all those rules apply to the T. Women are a...

    Dot 5 mixing

    I changed to DOT-5 3 years ago. DOT 5 wasn't as expensive as today. I used at least a bottle and a half to flush out the old DOT 3. It was just as good as the DOT-3 plus the added advantage of no paint damage.

    Brighter Headlights

    I changed the stock ones with Narva H1 and H4s for normal and high beams. They push 100W each and they push more light than my modern 4WD on LED projectors. They are wired on a relay because they pull a fair bit of power. Narva | Halogen Headlamp - H4 Conversion Kit - 5 3/4" High/Low Beam...

    I don't want to go to work tomorrow.

    I can't imagine myself retiring. I do love my job and all the social, collegiality and problem-solving side of things etc. I can see myself slowing down my pace but not retiring completely.

    Headlight Vacuum cannister - do I really need it?

    Yes I saw those kits. I like the vacuum mechanism, that slow non-symmetrical lift of the doors give it that old school look that I don't want to lose. I just wanted to make I'm not missing anything and that the cannister didn't have some higher prupose.

    Headlight Vacuum cannister - do I really need it?

    The headlight doors suddenly stopped working. While investigating the problem I bypassed the cannister and bridged both vac lines together and the headlights are now working fine, better than before actually. I assume that the cannister must have a leak of sorts. So my question is, do I really...

    Do you like to drive late at night? How about in the rain?

    I adore driving at night, it's just magical in a Charger. A good mix of city/country roads is perfect. Dusk is tricky with all the roos on the road. This weekend I took the Charger to the Gentleman's drive. It was a 600km round trip and the last hour driving back home was in the dark and it was...

    Identify axle bearings please - do I need end play adjustment on these?

    So I bought the dial indicator. When I set it blindly at 4 notches out from tight I had 0.01,7" play. I tightened it by a notch and I got a more desirable 0.012" play which is middle of the range. Thanks all for the advice.

    Identify axle bearings please - do I need end play adjustment on these?

    Thanks for your advice. I am using the old cone bearings that were already there. They have 2000 miles on them. I took for a spin yesterday and everything felt ok. I will redo the procedure and take it from there.
