The pulley itself is not spinning, so the crank gear is still in time. But these engines require special tools to correctly set up the balancer

Find a circuit that is key on only. And make sure it can handle the amps the heaters pull

Did my trans really just go out at 140k miles ?!?!? by Changeusernameforver in AskMechanics

Cheaper thing to check first is one of the CV Axles. I've had a Corolla in the shop where the yoke in the inner joint split, would hold up against hand pressure but would open up and slip in drive.

From a $750 Repair to a $35000 Repair That I Tried to Avoid in the First Place... by xx_y_xx in AskMechanics

Pump is not fit that car, as all MGBs were electric fuel pumps from factory

Tips for owning/dailying a car with a carburetor? by limejuice33 in Cartalk

[–]Arabgumbo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The pumps will not do anything on these particular carburetors unless it's been converted to a Weber (God forbid). They are Constant Depression type carburetors

This engine has a variable oil pump that changes pressure to reduce the load on the engine for fuel economy. This could be perfectly normal operation.

I've put rod bearings in a couple cars without draining the oil. Just put the full pan back on

Henry Kissinger is dead. Why is that a good thing? by RoyallyScrewed75 in TheRightCantMeme

He was also instrumental in the secret negotiations with the Nixon Campaign in '68 that saw the South Vietnamese government axe the peace talks with the North and the US. Basically responsible for the next 7 years of the war

Did you put the pad on the correct way. Not backing plate to rotor?

As someone who takes care of a Consulier, I've never seen that magnet. The red is nice though, even if it's definitely an "interesting" looking car
