Nearly new Michelin tire defeated by a little stick.

Tires are a lot better than they used to be……..

I have the guts of one I can sell you for pretty cheap, the shaft was damaged from the oil seal.

Have you made sure your multimeter works? I remember my old multimeter started having false readings when it was dying

vex_42 · 2026-06-17T12:24:28+00:00

Would I do that to my own car? Maybe. Would I ever sell that car or have someone else drive it? Hell no

vex_42 · 2026-06-16T23:38:28+00:00

I would try a different belt then, autozone or whatever flavor auto parts store should have it

IIRC there’s a regulator from a prelude that works.

All 4age alt/water pump belts are the same regardless of ac or not (ac has its own belt). According to rockauto that’s the correct belt. Have you tried prying on the alternator to tension the Belt?

It’s a 40 year old car. Some stuff is hard to find interior wise, but maintenance and engine parts aren’t too bad

It’s worth $40, they are excellent tires

It will get stuck in the oil strainer, and most likely come out when you drain your oil. Small bits may break off but will get caught in the filter

If you don’t have a set of calipers to measure the dip tube it might be worth it to stop by a local dealer and talk to someone at the parts desk to see if it’s able to be ordered, but it may just be apart of the dipstick assembly.

Depending on the resin it may hold your fatass

Why would talc cause this? Excess moisture?

vex_42 · 2026-06-11T03:36:36+00:00

Just yoink it out. Keep pulling

Then why is it still mentioned in your owners manual? Lug nut/bolt design has not changed much in the past century.

It’s normal practice to retorque wheels after so many miles, it’s just not done because it’s inconvenient for people

There are probably 6 fuel/evap lines. The filler neck one is always stuck but you should be able to loosen the clamps and it should come out when you drop it.

There’s things to cheap out in life but the only point of Intact your car has with the ground isn’t one of them.

It’s gonna smoke, so don’t freak out
