    Engine Swapping for a '92 Toyota Paseo?

    Its a .... paseo ..... Don't waste your time with an "upgrade" ... Find a used engine that's a direct drop in and keep the car as a fuel miser. Otherwise scrap it, its not worth more than $1000 (if you're lucky)... No offense but its the truth, what is it, a 92?

    Kawasaki Club Car Golf Cart Engine?

    .005" - same for intake and exhaust But when I rebuild the 290s and 350s I usually do it by feel (done so many of em) ... A little extra don't hurt, but not enough clearance, and you'll have compression issues. You'll need a 9mm wrench for this

    Ford F-350 wont go into 4x4, any idea what it could be?

    If you have just one front hub that is not locking, neither wheel will turn, even if the front driveshaft is being propelled. (All that power is wasting away at the unlocked hub). Jack up the front of the truck, with it in 4wd, and check to see if one of the hubs is not locking... Also, I'm...
