    oil leaking from mhg

    If you had your block machined, make sure you had the front plate machined too. Your block will be lower than the front plate, and the head will be resting on the front plate, not completely sealing with the block at the front. My friends supra was like that, until he milled the front plate...

    Holy Crap .... 4.30's are lots of fun!

    Again, the question has still not been answered. You can point to all the mathematical sciences there is out there, same tire, same compound, different width, the wider tire WILL have more grip, period. And YES i am talking about street tires, only used top fuel as an example, which if the...

    Holy Crap .... 4.30's are lots of fun!

    I understand thhat changing compounds makes a big difference. If you buy better rubber, yes a smaller tire will give more grip, but if you have two SAME tires, the wider one will not make a difference? Because I used top fuel dragsters as an example means I am not intelligent like everyone...

    Holy Crap .... 4.30's are lots of fun!

    Comparing drag tires to street tires is apples to oranges, so that's not what I was referring to. But with two exact same tires but one is wider then the other, your telling me that the wider tire will not give more traction? So AGAIN, if you stick a narrower tire on a top fuel dragster, will...

    If you have fuel pressure, spark and your distributor is installed correctly, take out the plugs to check. With all this starting, you might have fouled up the plugs, too wet to start.

    Holy Crap .... 4.30's are lots of fun!

    :wuteva: ............................ So top fuel dragsters can run faster quater miles by switching to narrower tires? IF you have a 7 inch wide tire and 12 inch wide tire, both of same rolling diameter, you will have the same front to back contact patch of say 1 inch. So, the 7 inch wide...

    Best offset for 10.5" wheels?

    10.5 = +45 offset. Any less and you will be rolling the fender. Also, offset from different wheels are a bit different, so you might have to roll the fender anyways.

    Car Alarms and Keyless Entry

    To me alarms are a waste of money on our cars. First, no one will want to steal our cars, it's useless as parts from a theft point of veiw. No one in other countries wants our cars, and our cars are just too darn old. Second, they only want our stereos, but if your dumb enough to advertise...
