"INJECTORS INSTALLATION
(1) Apply a small amount of clean engine oil to the O-ring.
Caution
Do not let the engine oil get into the fuel rail.
(2) While turning the injector to the left and right, install it
to the fuel rail.
(3) Check to be...
Most people who did this switched to a hard pipe. Before I got my hard pipe I just used an exhaust adapter and a piece of water hose at the elbow to make it fit the stock hose cut to length.
Delphi is one of the biggest OEM manufacturers. They make stuff for all the North American manufacturers. Should be the same stuff as rolls off the assembly lines at GM, Ford etc.
You're not looking for a level, you are looking for a straight edge. A level measures how level a surface is from vertical or horizontal. A straight edge measures how flat a surface is. This is what you need. Most shops that deal with metal working tools should carry them or be able to tell you...
If a cylinder was FULL of gas and you tried to crank it you could have hydrolocked it and bent a rod. A compression test could tell you that. Also a knock in the engine would be a sign of it.
If you think it is flooded that bad, pull the plugs out and try to crank it over. See if that helps. It's not very likely that's it though. Have the battery tested. If it is good then it's more likely the wiring is at fault and you're going to have to start chasing the bad wire.

the timing belt.
(2) When installing the bearing cap bolts, check that the

I've seen similar methods using fiberglass as well but it should give you a bit of an idea. arrowhead seems to be the local 'glass guy, he could probably give you some pointers.
^All of the above. Advances in metallurgy means they can run tighter tolerances and lighter oils means less parasitic drag and better fuel mileage than heavier oils. It's always best to run what the manufacturer recommends based on the conditions they lay out in the owners manual. Especially...
Right, they "isolate" the spring from the strut mount to keep it from rattling and clunking. Any cushioning effect would be minimal (if any) due to the high durometer rubber used.
Being that I sell these at work fairly often and 100% of the time the customers complaint isn't about decreased ride comfort but that the spring rattling and clunking is driving them nuts, you believe what you wish and we'll just agree to disagree. :)
Sure they can be bled outside the engine. In fact by the factory manual you are supposed to.INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
"LASH ADJUSTER INSTALLATION
(1) Immerse the lash adjuster in clean diesel fuel.
(2) Using the special tool (MD998442), move the plunger
up and down 4 or 5 times while pushing...
Most P/S fluids are very similar to ATF, just different additive packages for anti-foaming etc.. Some of them are not and have base oils and special additives in the for the vehicle specific system they are used in. Always use the fluid the factory recommends and you will be good. Change it to...
You'll kill the GR-2's on a 2-3" drop. They are a stock replacement style strut and the body is too long to support that kind of drop. 1-1 1/2" is all I would go on them.
This is from the install instructions that come with the Aeromotive regulators.NOTE: Testing the enclosed regulator by applying air pressure or vacuum to the vacuum port with a
hand-held pump will yield poor results, due to the slight air leakage through the adjustment screw
threads. This...
Just get a lower rad hose heater and be done with it. I've had one since my car was new in '90 and it has always worked well. Better than most "block" heaters I've used over the years. Super easy to install and heats both the block and rad at the same time. Just measure the ID of the lower rad...
