    Valve Cover Gasket, 6G74

    Does anyone know, I have the intake manifold off right now and it sure looks to me like the valve covers would just slide to the rear and be off.

    My question: can I disconnect one fuel injector to help reduce vibration from a cylinder-1 misfire? I can’t think of any negative consequences from doing this. I’m on a road trip and dealing with a rough running engine, codes thrown only for cylinder-1 misfire. I’m making it work by running...

    Original oil cooler rubber lines finally started to give out the last 6 months so I ordered some new ones off eBay. What came fits perfectly, but the hose carries a GM ATF rating. Is ATF interchangeable for engine oil lines?

    Gen 2.5 Power Steering

    What is the purpose of the mile long supply line between the PS reservoir on the passenger side of engine bay while the PS pump is on the other side? And why does that line dip so far down, below the bottom of the radiator, and then back up again to meet the pump. Why didn’t they just put the...

    Killed another water pump, less than 1500 miles on it

    Searching for a coolant leak and it looks like I’ve narrowed it down to the last place I want to think of. The water pump.

    Blocked coolant hose to heater core

    Anybody know what the impact would be on overall coolant flow through the block if you blocked flow through your heater core? Would a blocked heater core slow the flow through the other passages? Could this stress the water pump?
