    SB Chevy New Cam - Collapsed Lifter or Wiped Lobe?

    Just put a new cam in the Vette along with a rebuild. Everything was running great for 80 miles, then a loud tick and slight backfiring. The number 6 intake rocker was loose. I tightened it back up but it was evident the rocker nut was down much further than the other rockers. I am certain it...

    Blizzard in Baytown, TX

    Just finished playing in the snow. Had about 2-3 inches. Made the best snowman in my life. Perfect snow for rolling balls. The kids loved it. Last time it snowed was in 2002. This is the most snow I have seen in Baytown ever. The best part is, the temp was 31F and that will be the low tonight...

    Have you seen the new Dodge Challenger

    The new Dodge Challenger just looks freakin awesome. :eek: Wish I could get one. New Camaro will be out in a year or so and also looks great. Detroit finally made a new muscle car that should have strong sales. Problem is, they will probably become a victim of the economy. :(

    Carb or ignition problem?

    Does this sound like an ignition problem or carb problem? 93 Mercury Sport Jet 90 ( 3 cylinder inline, Force powerhead, three carbs) Engine runs fine at idle, but low on power. I can ground the bottom cylinder spark plug and it makes no difference in the power, so it is definitely the bottom...

    Computer tracking program to diagnose frozen computer

    My desktop computer is having major issues. Everyonce in a while it completely freezes up with no response to anything, then after several minutes, it comes unfrozen and is all fine. Is there some sort of tracking program I can use to find out what is triggering the freezing issue? Thanks, Ken

    Nice timing on the breakdown... BAD BOAT!!

    Why does the starter have to break the day before our trip to the beach house!!!!! Now I am scrambling to find a new starter. One guy says he has one, well see. Bad boat...BAD! I guess its better than breaking on the water. Ken

    At least I got it on the water

    I pulled the boat out and finally got it to the water....on a day with 20 mph sustained winds and 30 mph gusts. I was soaked, but it was fun in that chop! Stupid me didnt tie down the I/O engine cover and it was blown backwards while towing it at 60 mph. Luckily it held with one hinge bolt...

    What do you do to pass this time in the deer blind?

    So, do you watch for deer intently? Read a book, sleep, think, etc? I try to keep a keen eye, but when the deer dont come I try to pass time checking out the news on my web phone, or send a few text messages. Ken
