    Torque rating for newer vs older engines

    Newer V8s their max torque measured as high as 4600 rpm. My old ('96) Ford 5.8 has it's torque measured at 2800 rpm.<br />Would the Old Darlin' show higher torque if measured at 4600? She does fine the way she is, I was just wondering.

    No graphics coming with email now

    Not computer savvy so be gentle with me. I just got a new computer set up and running with Windows XP and MSN Mail(had 98 on old one). The whole format on email has changed and I no longer get any graphics. <br />Is this a result of a setting somewhere or is it the XP?

    How's this for service and price?

    Made an appointment with my Merc guy, took my boat in, waited and watched while he did the work, heating the housing on my B3, pulling the bearing carrier, installing new O ring, pressure testing, quart of Quicksilver High Perf gear lube and out in less than an hour. All for less than $60.<br...

    Bravo 3 oil leak

    I have a '98 B3 that has leaked a small amount of lube out the bearing carrier exhaust port just forward of the props. Which seal is most likely to let this happen? The prop shaft seals are not leaking.<br />Thanks in advance

    Chrome/alum wheel problem

    My wife's '99 Chrysler 300M has the chrome plated aluminum 17" wheels and has a slow leak around the bead on one wheel. When I broke it down, I found some of the chrome plating was gone and the alum had started to oxidize leaving a rough place where the tire should seal. I wire brushed the area...

    Red X instead of pictures

    Need some help here please. Sometimes instead of pictures I get a small square box with a red X in it. Can't figure how to view. Happens on different websites. I'm running Windows98SE. Be gentle now, I'm not real computer savvy.

    Question for all time

    When you look in a mirror, right is left and left is right. Correct? Why isn't up down and down up? ;) <br />john

    Trailer brake adjusters

    What do you use to lube them? Wheel bearing grease doesn't seem to last long. This time I'm trying Nev'r Seize.
