Valve-train clatter is actually not that uncommon on the OHV 2.2. Especially one with higher mileage like that. Not much you can do about it. I've seen S10s and Cavys with that rattle run a long time, but it's definitely not a good sign. Fortunately, it's a relatively simple engine. A premium...

I thought it was for comedic purposes. Like have you heard Bill O'Reilly and Barney Frank? It's two grown men acting like two 8 year olds on the playground. high-freakin'larious. Sometimes neither one of them have a valid point. They are just speaking to talk over the other. I think they are...

Sure. And I bet he would promise me free insurance or at least good insurance that I could afford. But then the Conservatives would be afraid that if I got affordable insurance then illegal aliens would have affordable insurance and wreck the whole insurance industry and the deal to buy a...

Yours is not so much a question as it is a statement. Your "more" and "better" statements are purely subjective. Why did you not include the Dodge Ram and the Toyota Tundra? more horsepower than the 5.4 and better ride. Better interior layouts and the Dodge just may be one of the best looking...

Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid 21 city/ 22 hwy. That's better than a Honda Ridgeline (15 city/ 20 hwy) the bad thing is that the Ridgeline is closer to midsize and not a body on frame "Real Truck" And it looks kinda' funny too. Cylinder disabling nets a Hemi Ram 14 city / 20hwy there's...

I would go $2300 if it is as good as you say and an 8 cylinder. I do like 3rd gen Camaros. They are pretty reliable cars. The fuel pump is the exception. It is a big nasty hassle and it is probably the weakest part of the whole car. The exhaust has to come off before you even begin to get to...

Wearing a dress and blowing kissing at the guy at the draft board: Nope. Assignment will be Army EOD. You get to look for mines and disarm IEDs. Nobody's going to care if you are wearing a dress while you are disarming a rigged artillery shell. They're going to be several hundred meters away...

I'm not entirely certain I understand your question. Jeep engines are going to have little aftermarket support and really aren't "supercar" engines anyway. The only Jeep diesels I can think of are either Renault or VM Motori. The Renault was completely unexceptional. It would be cheaper and...

Something cheap? Maybe a leftover Hyundai Tiburon? Tibbies can be made pretty quick. I've seen 2.7 V6 Tibbies dyno at 300 with a supercharger. Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

I can't tell you what you are going to like. But I can tell you to watch the offset. The 6 does not offer much variance I have Enkei A&L Racing 387 18"s. I had to roll the rear fenders.

That would almost certainly have to be a Harley Davidson edition Ford F-series wouldn't it? I recommend the Black/Competition Orange paint scheme But who drives their truck to a poker run?

You can use synthetic. You can switch back to conventional oil later on. I ran my Kawasaki exclusively on Bel-Ray Synthetique for the first 30,000 miles of it's life. I switched to Castrol GTX. The engine was still good for another 50,000 miles. Transmission was trashed but car oil is not meant...

To start? Try a GS500E or EX 500 Ninja. They have enough power to outrun most vehicles, you won't get bored with it as quicky as you would a 250 Ninja or Hyosung GT250. But they don't have SO much power like like a 600 -750- or larger machine. A lot of female riders like the Buell Blast as...

The 540i is going to have to have it's valley pan replaced. They all do. This is not a problem as long as you are anticipating it's failure. The whole cooling system is suspect on the 540i. These problems do not carry over to the Inline 6es. For some reason it's limited to the 8. But the...

Let's start with that automatic transmission part. Automatics and rotaries don't mix....at least not traditional torque converter type automatics. They really suck the joy out of owning a rotary powered car. You end up with a car that really doesn't run 0-60 any faster than the larger Mazda...

That's largely subjective. But I will tell you this, all of our friends with Yamahas spent more down time than we did with our Suzukis, Kawasakis, and Hondas. Maybe my Yamaha friends were just idiots. My longest lasting bike was a Kawasaki ZX600C Ninja. Second gear was a long distant memory...

probably the head gasket. If its a 3.8, it's probably already cracked the head too.

Well, I do have awesome calves, glutes, and thighs! ;D And it does burn fat all over. Even in the midsection. I've found that having "6-pack abs" tends to reduce my overall stamina though. A little additional body fat goes a long way in overall performance for me. Shoulders get a good workout...
