For my original 72 Chevelle 350. Rebuilding it and scratched up one of the rod bearings but might as well buy the new set. Just wondering what would be a good place to buy the new set? Standard. Thanks

Finger? Normal, Or Why? Long story short, my buddy and I were fishing. He cut his line and it got down in my face and I thought it was a fly. Swipped my finger from one side of my body to the other and... well... it wasn't a fly. It was his line with the hook still attached. And when I swipped...

I have a few buddies with Japanese cars that can go abouts 8K RPM or so. I have a Japanese sport bike that redlines at 17,000 RPM which doesn't really have full power until it reaches 10K and up. Having both be Japanese, why is that bikes can have such a higher redline than cars and actually be...

Well I'm 20 years old, I currently live one state over in Phoenix, Arizona. Anyway, I have always loved taking vacations out to that area about 5 times a year. Love the area but not sure how it is living there 24/7. Hence why I'm here. I am currently finishing up my last two years of college...

It's for my project/muscle car. It's undergoing a rebuild. Sat for 15 plus years but it starts. Just had low compression and low oil pressure so my friends and I took the motor out and am in the process of rebuilding it. Already have the new rings, gunna get the valves done at a shop, replace...

2004 R6. Runs well but have a question that came to mind while I was on vacation. Whenever I have the key in the on position and switch to run, it obviously primes but over the past few weeks, mine has been doing something it has never done. Ever since I've had the bike, I've always heard the...

For my street bike. It's a 2004 Yamaha R6. Number one, how often should the chain be lubed? After everytime I wash it, should I lube it then or is there a specific amount of miles or time when it should be lubed? And also, I just bought a chain lube from my dealer. Basically says to clean dirt...

But once it starts and I begin to ride it, it won't ever had a problem. Just like today, I went to start it. It starts up fine but within 1 second, it'll just stall. So I repeated and tried to start. Once again, it'll start but then stall. It did that three times. So I started it and reved it...

And those are my main two choices. Sat on gixxers and to me, they are extremely uncomfortable. Not saying they are bad but just not for me... same with Kawi. And this bike will be used for mainly daily rider and maybe a few track days here in there. And also take with me on trips in the...

Washed my 04 R6 yesterday and then today, I took it for a ride and when I came to a stop, I noticed it was overheating. The bike's fan is supposed to turn on at 214 degrees. But it didn't. Then waiting for it to cool down, started it up and once it hit 214 degrees, the fan did not kick on again...

After a summer with my current 600cc '04 R6, I want to move up. I love my bike to death but I have had it for a while and it does have high mileage (25K) so rather than keeping that, I'm looking at upgrading to either of those bikes while selling mine to someone that may want it as a starter...
