I have oil on the bottom of my spark plugs on my sr. What would be some of the causes of that? I pulled the head off, no oil was on top of the pistons so I think the rings are ok.

had the same shit on my ka, no idea. probably, my guess, would be the gasket or some seal somewhere. maybe a valve seal

super small question, any1 know how i can fix my fucking mirror? It only stays put in a position that for me to ideally view it i would have to slouch. when i angle it higher, if i go over a bump it drops back down again. im about to add a broadway mirror so it'll just get worse. i was thinking just gluing it into a position but then if i need to adjust then im fucked

Valve cover gasket needs replacing.

We really need to edit into the title of the thread, (please do not ask simple questions before searching first)

"does anyone know where I can find greddy products"
"whts the number for hks customer service"?
do 5 lug wheels fit on 4 lug cars?"

this isn't the "lets all be lazy and not search and ask simple questions that could be answered by using google or making a simple call the the actual parts manufacturers customer service line" thread.
ask questions after doing research and trying to find out on your own.

Take door panel off and you should be able to get to the glass and put it back on the tracks, if it continues to fall off then you might need to tighten the tracks, common sense dude! Im 15 and i know this!

Does anybody know the name of the Washers that are used with your camber arms etc.. They have the cut out and go thru a cut out path on the bolt so you can only put them on 1 way.

In need of a few of these, and dont really know the proper name..

What size air compressor is suitable for paint jobs?

[sdterrible1]

I’m trying to figure out if there is a way to hook up and AUX jack for an ipod into a car without a stereo? I have speakers in my car still, but don’t want a stereo. I only listen to my Ipod it seems anyways. I was thinking that there would be a way to run it through an AMP or something? I’m no car audio master so forgive me. Any help would be killer!

a high number would be best because if you get a small tank, the gun will be gasping for some air, I'd rent a 30+ gallon compressor.

it sounds like the fork is not connected to the throwout bearing and the "thing" that holds the throwout bearing. or the pivot ball thing is jacked up. it seriously sounds like you need to drop the transmission and take a look, or cut a hole in the rubber boot that secures around the fork, to try and look if anything is messed up. and im pretty sure you are going to need ANOTHER new slave, if the piston fell out.

if you were able to do all this on your own i am convinced that you know what im talking about. good luck.
