    What Do You Tow?

    Most of these are my vehicles or my fathers in the pics, I've towed lots for people like my girlfiends el camino and lifted b3000, friends civics and subarus. Heaviest is probably the f150, picked that up just to clean and re-sell. 20140320_181156 by driftingd, on Flickr 20140619_193553 by...

    Excessive blowby

    I see, mine doesn't smoke unless its dead cold and even then it fades away before the temp gauge even twitches, Mine shakes no differently then before I replaced the mildly bad dual mass with a single mass.

    Excessive blowby

    Is this cold idleing? If so mines not much better, but hasn't gotten any worse even though I beat on it and have been for over a year. I also get moderate oil consumption too, and vibrates like yours.

    How worn is my engine

    Yeah, using a bit of oil, leaking a bit too. I do have it running much better then when I bought it a year ago, but still not 100%.

    How worn is my engine

    Thanks guys, I picked up a compression tester, just need to find time, it has about 179,000 miles, I'll report back with test results. And maybe do a cranking test, I have a hunch one cylinder may be low. Power wise it still does what I need it to do though, just trying to assess how long it...

    Fire Damaged Differential assembly??

    Thanks guys. This diff has been sitting in my fathers yard for many years, just wanted to see if I should scrap it or let it stay there for a while till I could find a use for it. The heat treatment was my main concern, rebuild kits etc are cheap through the company I work for.
