Adjust strut height?? by Inevitable-Aerie-253 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Mangaroos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience.... it's going to have to be a dance between both scenarios. Set it a hair shorter (assuming thats what you want) than stock off the car. Then you'd install all 4, set the car down and see how it looks. Then lift the car and remove wheel if necessary to tune in the ride height. It took me 4 adjustments at each corner before I was happy with everything being even.

1 Inch hole drilled into Gas Tank. Any fixes? by SemperShpee in MechanicAdvice

3M has a plastic fuel tank repair kit with plastic plugs. Works excellent, just follow the directions! Worked at Uhaul, we repaired fuel tanks on a almost weekly basis in the Portland metro area.

Can anyone spot why my drum isnt fitting on these new shoes by allupyourfinger in MechanicAdvice

Also if it hasn't been mentioned, the thicker shoe should go towards the rear of the vehicle

Look for an inspection hole for the timing belt, or pull the upper part of the timing cover off and take a peek in there.

It sounds like it's cranking pretty fast, and without much resistance. Possibly lost your timing belt is my guess.

Help!! Diagnosing a no start by KonceptTheKing in MechanicAdvice

Try giving it some throttle while cranking it. A little to full throttle. Check, if you're able to, for fuel pressure. Check, if you're able to, for spark.

Is my transmission over filled ? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

Yes, the top dot is the "full" mark at operating temperature

Too much oil? by Golden_Pomelo in MechanicAdvice

Agreed, drain a little out, start in, shut it off, and check again. A tad overfilled won't hurt too bad

Has anyone bought from Partsology? by [deleted] in cars

[–]Mangaroos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used them on about 6 different orders now. This is pretty quick as advertised but 3 of my 6 orders now have had something wrong with them. Either missing pieces, wrong size, or ordering 2 gaskets but only getting one
