I just did the timing belt on a Toyota 1MZ-FE motor... you have to be careful to have tension on the correct side of the belt during installation...

Owned 4 Ferraris.. driven them all in the rain no problem. My 360 especially was a monster in torrential down pours. If you drive through a big...
In some cases that can just be a dip in the electrical system (weak battery). I had that happen a few times when I had just bought my 458... when...
haha... good luck. Ray
You're most welcome. Never used a trickle charger on any of the Ferraris I've owned. I circumvented that entire problem by going with a Lithium...

Got it, thanks! I'll stick with pressure gauges over here :-) Ray
How many miles? Anyway, I'm with Brian - compression test and leak down test using an actual calibrated gauge. WTH is a pico test anyway? For...
They don't make bearings like they used to. I vote let sleeping dogs lie - especially if the engine has always had good oil pressure and clean...
Ouch... that's next level terrible in there. @Rifledriver Sleeves or liners maybe? Ray
My next door neighbor has a very steep driveway with a drain that runs across (between his driveway and our road). They installed a rather large...
On my Toyota pickup 22RE (wet sump / no oil cooler), I have an oil temp gauge plumbed directly into the main galley. I'm not sure if any of this...
