You're mostly correct, but elastomers as used in the stock damper are lossy and thus generate substantial heat in the process of storing and...
This subject is actually a lot more complex than presented here and in the referenced PDF paper. In particular, and in contrast to the focus of...
Probably had a bad crimp on the connector terminal to the wire; if a bunch of the strands of the wire are broken off and not in the crimp, the...
Wow, thanks so much guys; have now seen lots of DCOEs on transverse motors, and PBS Engineering of all places says the DCOE is better behaved than...
Hi all, I have a deceptively simple question about Weber DCOE's (sidedraft carbs): is it ok to orient them with the bores facing fore-aft? I can...
Mike, I don't know much about Duracool; I've seen the claims but have never tracked down the physical stats (no P-T chart, no mass / enthalpy...
The A/C performance varies greatly between idle and ~3k RPM cruise. And cruising along at 4k+ RPM delivers even better A/C performance. If you...
I would sum up the compressor alternates like this: - If you want max capacity and are willing to stick with R-12, go with the Sanden SD709 - If...
Absolutely sure about the York; I'm very familiar with the York compressors as I've added them as air compressors to several off-road trucks (a...
You have this backwards; the stock York is a R206R, with the 06 indicating 6 in^3 displacement (the smallest of the York compressors), which is 98...
Sorry, this is completely incorrect: our direct OHC engines fall into the category of high contact pressure applications that require higher...
I suppose I should clarify: you don't want the coolant to run overly cool (so as to avoid cold spots), but as long as your cooling system can take...
If you're not routinely getting your oil to 100degC (212degF), you should definitely change your oil much more frequently, and you should really...
One more last thing to add: turns out that several motor oils say "API SM" on them (including my choice, Mobil 1 Racing 4T mc oil), but they have...
Just a few observations then I'm done: Nomenclature: for whatever reason, when the subject of engine oils is discussed, the industry uses the...
Badman, apologies, my post is perhaps over simplified. It's actually quite complex as to how EPA regs on cat life have trickled down through the...
Sorry, but the ZDDP thing is not about selling something; this is a very real problem made accute with the introduction of the API SM...
If you're switching from a pure stock arrangement, I would suggest that you think seriously about making the fan part of the cooling system work...
...if you use motorcycle oil. I use Mobil 1 Racing 4T (10W-40); the V-Twin (20W-50) is another good choice for the higher viscosity route....
Hi all, Tracking down and fixing the various leaks on my 308, I've found that I have a small leak from the joint between the gearbox and the...
