Recipe: 1 liter hot water, 100 grams citric acid powder, 60 grams sodium carbonate powder (not baking soda) also known as washing soda, soda ash, sal soda, and soda crystals. When mixed the solution bubbles a little like sparkling water. It turns almost black during the cleaning process. I...

The installation of new ARP rod bolts in the 340 connecting rods is making it difficult to pull the large end of the connecting rod apart. I still need to perform several on/off procedures during clearance checking with plasitgage and final assembly. Was looking for a brass/bronze/lead hammer...

My California Car Cover for the '72 Satellite (Noah edition) received its first tear about the five year mark. I continued to use it for another two years as it continued to fall apart little by little. Vehicle is stored in a double garage without a front doors (more like a carport I guess)...

Need to torque the 4.0 liter cylinder head of our '92 Jeep Cherokee XJ to 22, 45, 110 (100 on one bolt that penetrates water jacket). With a $2,499 Mexican Peso deposit (about $125.00 USD) I brought home a new-looking OEM brand click-type 1/2" drive torque wrench good for 25-250 ft. lbs. Could...

I don't know what to believe:

Today when I picked up my Mopar 340 connecting rods after having the rod bolts replaced and big end reconditioned at a Mexican diesel machine shop, I was told six of the eight rods required demagnetizing. I was not aware of this procedure prior to today. They took care of it at no extra charge.

Has anyone tried this mix to clean/de-rust stuff? I'd like to dunk a pair of intake manifolds in some kind of homemade cleaner and see what happens. One liter water, 100 grams citric acid, 40 grams washing soda (sodium carbonate)

The '72 Satellite Sebring Plus is parked in a garage (more like a carport-no front doors). I was out of town for a month and when I went to charge the battery, found a nest underhood and the front driver's side turn signal lens covered with a mud nest from some kind of bee species. Imagine how...

I'm sure it must be expensive, but I am amazed on the instant rust removal I have seen demonstrated online in some videos.

I don't want to use an electric pressure washer, just want to use my plain old-fashioned garden hose. Anyone use a sprayer with an attached bottle where I can add soap and have a water/soap mix come out the nozzle they have at home that can be recommended? Reviews on Amazon for most of these...

According to this recent MSN internet article it does. I know additives wear out and oil becomes dirty, but if I don't drive the vehicle for six months, I see no reason to change the oil. How is it going to become dirty or contaminated when it's stored? Should You Get Your Car’s Oil Changed...

What's with the cherry picker hydraulics? I borrowed one and it would not work until I refilled the fluid. Then I purchased my very own new unit and find it is leaking all over too. What seems to be the problem? Thank you.

Paint fumes give me a headache, not to mention the health hazards. Need to invest in some respiratory protection. Thanks for any suggestions.

I often struggle trying to keep the motor from turning over (torquing crank bolt, flywheel, flex plate) by sticking a bar or large screwdriver in places they don't belong. I had my local fabricator/welder make me up a tool to take care of that task for me under most circumstances. However, when...

A friend wanted help on his '91 Jeep Cherokee XJ with a no start situation. I heard the fuel pump kick on for a second or two when the key was switched on, but it sounded weak and kind of sick (not strong and fairly loud like they all normally sound). So I went to the local Autozone which offers...

I have tried the cheap/China ones at Autozone which cost about $50.00 and start to disintegrate after about a year after being both outdoors and indoors. I have tried the "Noah" custom fit cover which started to deteriorate after about 5 years after being mostly indoors and cost well over...

I changed out drill bits four times and still could not perforate a hole in a metal battery tray bracket. Half-way through this exercise, I checked to make sure the dual-purpose drill was set on "drill" and not "hammer". At the point of believing all the drill bits were dull (and I had been...

I need to do this pretty soon.

Look handy.
