    Camshaft replacement in situ-yes, Virginia, it CAN be done with A/C discharge!

    Not the first time I’ve shared this pic, but it might bear sharing again. My son’s DII that was not well cared for before I got it, finally began to show its age at somewhere around 205k and showed low compression on all eight. Measurement showed lift to be about half to 2/3 of what I...

    Mega-Squirt interest/group buy sorta

    Cross-posted in Vendors area Gentlemen and ladies I am now an authorized distributor of Mega-Squirt products. As some of you no doubt are aware, Mega-Squirt is the first and basically the only open-source, DIY full-function stand-alone engine management system. Gone are the days of soldering...

    Blocks and heads needed for a science project

    Gentlemen: Now that I have a little time to do something other than work 24/7 and not earn enough to keep a roof over my head, I'm trying to put some of my crazy ideas into action. If you have a block with liners gone bad, a block with big gaping holes in the side, blocks with cracks, etc, I...

    Dominic Perodeau, Scarlett Perodeau, Global British-THIEVES

    Yes, tell me I'm stupid. Dominic and Scarlett stole $990 from me that I gave them for parts that they never sent me. They are being investigated by the Canadian authorities and I hope they are eventually prosecuted for being the thieving bastards they are.

    Do I buy it or not... '94 LWB

    My very first Rover client has come to me asking me to buy his '94 LWB. Pretty well maintained. Rusted brake lines. White, shows some crash damage that occurred loong ago and was fixed pretty well. Less rusty than most around here. Sometimes it is harder than others to be strong.

    How do I get RAVE files onto my iPad?

    Yeah, I know, it's simple, but I am an Apple idiot. Love the platforms but not too good at going beyond point and click, er, whatever.

    PT's diagnostic tip of the day. Figure this one out.

    I think the last time we hadone of these exercises, Perrone might have been involved. Wife's DII. 2001 MY, little more than 100K on it. Fairly well maintained (it's her truck, not mine, I have to take care of it). Yesterday, she hits the brakes hard, engine hiccups. Low power, drive on to...

    I need some iMac help.

    My 90-year old father who used to be on the cutting edge of all technology bought an iMac recently. He is having problems with operating Safari. Is there anyone who'd be willing to give him ten minutes of phone help with this? I'm sure that someone who knew the application could set him...

    It was a lotta fun guys. Thanx!

    I don't know if it's gonna be permanent, but it sure looks like it's gonna be. Until further notice, I will not be accepting new clients or shipping parts. The Snap-On gig has proven to be more profitable and far more time consuming than I had expected and there just are not enough hours in...

    I bought a new truck. A diesel no less.

    OK, it has a few thousand miles on it, it's still pretty new.

    Series III 109, Stage One

    As hard as it is, I have an opportunity to take advantage of, but it requires me to sell my beloved 109. It is VINed as a 1974, however, given it having a V8, I suspect it is really a 1979. Approximately 60K miles-the Km odometer reads 01001. Left-hand drive. I'm asking $12,500, OBO. I have...

    Why do I answer the phone when the caller ID says "restricted" or worse?

    Today's episode involved a guy wanting to know if I could make a key for a "full-size Range Rover". He hung up when I asked who I was speaking with and that I could have a key made, but needed substantiation of ownership, pre-payment, the VIN and the truck. :banghead:

    DII front driveshaft issues, amazing how quickly they come on

    My wife sends me an e-mail this morning telling me there is a problem with her truck. A vibration at about 40 MPH that goes away as speed increases. Sent the kid to get the truck, rode with him for a few hundred feet. Yep, pretty obvious. The point here is that she drives this truck every day...
