    Rattling sound under engine RPM increase, any ideas?

    hah, you dont collect the oil from whatever youve drained it into! you feed a CLEAN tube down the dipstick tube and suck up the oil through there into a TINY container (ALSO CLEAN BTW).

    oil pressure gauge

    AGREED ideal. the only mechanical gauge i would say is safe to run into the cabin is a boost gauge! what happnes when that line leaks? eh you get some air spilled around in there. what happens when a mech. oil pressure gauge routed into the cabin leaks? you get OIL spilled all around in...

    Rattling sound under engine RPM increase, any ideas?

    just FYI, the lab that my dad uses (marine surveyor) and probably most labs that do lube oil analysis have a kit that you must submit the oil in. you draw out the oil with a syringe (not a turkey baster..) and deposit the oil into a plastic (*provided, wont react with fuel, etc) tube. it is a...

    Car acts like a circuit breaker??? WtF?

    did it ever run before? probably have a problem with the starter if the electronics worked before you tried cranking it over. make sure the battery terminals are tight. that clicking probably wasnt from the turbo timer, your battery could also be dead.

    Rattling sound under engine RPM increase, any ideas?
