    Should I purchase an over size piston ring as a replacement for a 1982 YZ80 Yamaha...

    You can't put an oversize ring in a standard bore, it wont fit. You need to take the cylinder and piston to a mechanic with the tools to measure your cylinder. He will tell you if you can get by with a new piston and ring or if you need to bore the cylinder and get an oversize piston and ring...

    My 4.6L Ford engine rattles while under hard acceleration or accelerating...

    Timing chains usually last the lifetime of the motor, but if you have 150,000 miles it could be loose. You are much more likely to be hearing pre-ignition or engine knock caused by carbon or maybe your timings advanced too far. BTDT

    what direction the bolt that hold the crank puller on a ford 2.3 engines

    I did this a couple years ago. Put your socket on the bolt, put a short extension on, put a long breaker bar on it and lay it on the passenger side frame. Bump key and your bolt will be loose. Don't hold the key on until it starts, just bump it once.

    How to tell if the only thing i need is a a/c recharge on a mazda?

    For $20 you get a can of AC charge with a small guage on it. Get this, attach it to the only port on the AC it will fit, and start the engine. Read the guage and see what it indicates, you can tip it upside down and try putting some of the coolant in to see if it takes it. Its about the...

    Does anyone know how a 1977 Honda XL 125 can be run without the battery?

    Sounds like you nearly OD on dumb pills. Better find somebody to help you rewire the ignition. It was never designed to run without a battery and you sure aren't going to make it do so.

    1977 Honda Motorcycle cb400f wont turnover?

    It's trying to start, sounds like it starts with the choke. How did you smash pilot jets? They should be REPLACED in a bike that old anyway, they have tiny openings that get corrosion and crud accumulated around them and reduce fuel flow, and you got aftermarket pipes on it so it needs more...

    Question about equipment for my yamaha v-star 650/?

    The oil is easy, spend more money, get better oil. If you have tubed tires, roadside repair is damn near impossible. If you have tubeless, you get those rubber plugs and a small bicycle pump and you are all set. Have fun, hope to see you on the road!

    how can I find out where a tranmission sylinoid gose on a 1999 chevy venture...

    There are books called SHOP MANUALS, they often have this kind of information in them. The guys at Autozone aren't mechanics or they would be making $30/hr fixing cars instead of $10 selling you parts. A hint would be to look for the wires that go to the transmission, you might see the...

    Chrysler minivan wouldn't start, then after towing worked fine. Why?

    When you say turning the key give no response, did the starter turn the engine over but it didnt run? When you jumped it did the starter turn the engine over? Confusing details.
