    Water Pump connections

    they are push-to-connect fittings and yes, the pump will hammer a bit at low flow as it is building pressure, and being turned off by the pressure switch, then loosing pressure because you have the sink running turn the faucet/tap on full and the pump just runs.

    Towing a Chaparral 23 H2o Sport boat with a 4Runner that has a 5,000 pound tow rating

    dry weight is also without any fluids such as oil, fuel, etc, and options such as bimini top, etc. add all the other things up from post #3 and actually weighing the boat on a trailer and you will find you are much closer to #6k

    454 Piston problem

    if you have the bore at the top, and know the ring gap at the top, you can then measure 3-4 points down to get taper I personally like to take the bore gauge and measure side to side, then rotate 90 and take same readings. that give me taper and eggality
