    Meaning of massive amounts of oil in intake manifold?

    Surge tank? In automotive that is called a plenum. Some oil is normal. You might have 20 years worth of oil from normal pcv operation.

    Electric Cooling Fan Installation

    New AR15

    New AR15

    mass x velocity = momentum Out of the shorter barrels, the 5.56 loses too much speed to be effective on a consistent basis. http://demigodllc.com/articles/6.8-mm-spc-cartridge-history-development-hornady-stag-arms-carbine/ Derivative wildcats from 5.56mm to up 7.62mm diameter shooting bullets...

    New AR15

    You don't need a mil spec barrel if you are not shooting mil spec ammo ( XM855) you see on the shelves. I would not buy a 5.56/.223 caliber, but that ammo is available in much larger quantities than almost all other AR calibers put together. So that is a positive for that caliber. Many...

    Failed fuel pump = fried ECU?

    That happens when the inmates run the asylum. The ECU is very dependable, and failures are extremely rare. Sucks that people trashed them.

    low compression on all cylinders after hg replaced...need help

    No, it isn't safe to assume. You were across the board and the gain was minimal. The oil creates a much better seal in the cross hatch, that is where low compression would be if rings were worn. Since you took the head off, my best guess is that the engine/cam is out of time giving you...
