    Can 'thin' oil cause a valve to tick?

    Had my head rebuilt 3k miles ago while reparing a BHG. Now I have a ticking valve. I wasn't there after rebuilding the head, it just started the last few hundred miles. Also, it doesn't tick when the motor is cold, only after the motor is hot. Is 10W30 oil too thin? Note: switching to...

    Paging GarretRowe....

    If I still miss shifts after disconecting the Tranny computer, then more than like it's caused by shift selnoids, correct? Could it just be the selnoid o-rings?

    too much valve noise

    I have about 2k miles on my car after a BHG. I had the head reworked (surfaced, new seals, 3 angle valve job, ect) before reassembly & everything was great afterwards. Now I'm starting to get a lot of valve noise. A loud tick to be precise. What took so long for the noise to start & how do I...

    strange power steering problem...

    This has happened to me twice now...it doesn't make any sense. I've taken my car to the redline twice, and afterwards my PS feels like the belt broke, leaving the steering unassisted. After about ten minutes of driving it come back around to normal. The first time I thought the fluid...

    Mr Rowe, auto tranny question

    I've been having trouble with my tranny not wanting to shift into 3rd gear. It's not a constant, it occurs every now & then. I had it rebuilt thinking that I had burned up the clutches (only the banner set was replaced, not the shift selnoids, sensors, ect). This didn't fix the problem...

    Will a 28"x12"x3" intercooler fit

    without much mods to the bumper supports? I'm looking at the Meagan 28"x12", but if it involves a lot of cutting I'd rather get the 22"x12". Is it a big pain in the ass to mount?

    are the N/A & turbo KS's the same? I know that the N/A uses only one while the turbo uses two, but are they interchangable?

    My error code 51 is driving me nuts

    I've changed my TPS, so I'm almost certain that it isn't causing the error code. I'm starting to think that it's being caused by a faulty A/C switch. Isn't the motor supposed to surge a little when the A/C turned on? Also, isn't the A/C switch on the thermostat housing? I've got to...
