Did some tachometer calibrating today. Bought a cheap signal generator and wanted to verify the frequency was right so I connected my PC based oscilloscope. Frequencies were off by a little bit, but...
Pulled heads off my 5.0 yesterday. I'm going to go through the heads and probably bring them to a shop for full rebuild. Been dealing with a misfire which I think is due to poor valve...
Mustang came home from storage yesterday so I can tackle a few things this week while I'm off work. Crappy part is we are under Winter Storm Warning and my Edge has to sit outside. The apron from our...
Ufda as we say in MN.
We have 0 snow on the ground, it's 47 degrees and partly sunny.
Par for the course in MN this winter....but apparently that's going to change this weekend.
We're in for...
Oh, that I know.
It was ~10yrs old when I bought it and I'm pretty sure it went through every MN winter since new.
As they say, it was ridden hard and put away wet.
I should have known better when...
My first car was an 87 IROC w/ 350.
Biggest POS. I was a dumb 16yr old and all I thought was "Big V8, good."
Transmission went out about a month after I bought it, suspension was...

Basically all I did was take it around the block and used the brakes a few times, that was it.
My wife has...
Not specifically pretreatment, but when I do rineless it's usually in the winter and I hit the DIY 2 blocks away to spray off all the heavy stuff before rinseless in garage to remove the remaining...
I know this wasn't an option, but I do the 5 towel method. Each towel gets used 1 time for a section and placed in discard bucket.
Only need 1-1.5 gallon of wash mix since dirty towels do not go...
To continue my post from a few days ago, we had 2 record highs this week.
Yesterday was 55F, which is 30 degrees above normal high.
Odd to be watching my daughter downhill slalom race and just be...
My (12yr old) daughter has really gotten into downhill skiing over the last year and joined the school ski team so I figured I'd make the stand so we can do some maintenance at home during the...
Garage work: added 4 outlets (2 on each side) and started insulating walls. Plan to finish insulating tomorrow and get a good start on drywall. I need to figure out what I'm going to do about...
Short rest stop break on my up to winter storage. I gave it a quick rinseless wash before hitting the road.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231110/87cdab354e3335fa21311336e3ccf4a5.jpg
