Hey guys. To start I've guy a 98 OHV that's leaking a good amount of oil. Constant drip at running pretty much. Dripping from the mating between Engine and Transmission. I had believed it was all from the Rear main and replaced that months ago (horrible job to do alone). That helped the leak a...

Hey everyone! I've bought a 1993 Ford explorer and noticed that the exhaust smells pretty sweet I don't know why it's like that I feared that it was a head gasket related problem at first but it doesn't use a drop of coolant and there's no other indication for a head gasket besides the fact that...

Hey guys I've briefly done some search on this topic, but I'm not finding any posts with direct answers. So. I believe I've got a valve cover leak and plan to fix that coming soon and would like to make sure it doesn't leak again anytime soon. I don't have the valve cover torque spreaders, are...

I've been dealing with these issues for going on two months now. The problems originally started when I was getting excessive EGR flow. I replaced the valve the sensor and the solenoid. The car always started just ran really rough. After I changed the parts the car refuses to start at all, just...

Whats up guys, just have a quick question. I have a flowmaster 10(super loud), and k&n oversized filter that deletes the box. I'm wondering if the bbk 66mm is worth getting.

So here's my Explorer. It's not technically my first car, but it's the first one I ever owned AND drove. I don't plan on doing a whole lot to it, I pretty much fell in love with it the moment I saw it. Plan on trying to keep it running as long as I possibly can. 1997 Explorer Sport Engine: 4.0L...
