I would throw it on an ocilloscope and look at the ignition pattern. Very possibly an ignition issue that will show up on the screen easily. Why tear an engine down if it's an open wire or bad plug,...

I followed this story when it came out, and watched UTG later on. My initial take was to call BS, as the owner of the car was a cop, and the claim was nobody ever saw the car except briefly, at...

Factory drums and hubs were swagged together. That's why the high shoulder. And this makes for a much truer running unit, as the drum gets turned while attached to the hub on the brake lathe, making...

In the 1980's the outfit I worked for started pushing an 'engine oil flush' upsell on the regular oil and filter change. I wouldn't recommend them and got some heat. We bought a few engines, mostly...
